Distributed Monitoring and Eventhandlers

Guys and gals,

following problem:

In a distributed environment i transmit Service check results via the NSCA Daemon. On the central server i want to run each time when a PING Service result comes in run an event handler. Is that possible and if so how?

The event handler shall basically take the PING results (which is transmitted by send_nsca) and write the output into a simple DB. The DB then gets queried by a modified check_ping and returns the status according to the DB entries. This is thought as workaround for passive host checks. The passive host check part is working already, however as said i need an event handler to insert (update) the DB each time a Service PING result comes in. The event handler needs also to run each time regardless of what the result/return-code is (lets say as sort of a host freshness check). 

Any pointers highly appreciated.
