aggregated status messages

[Marc Powell]

Check out http://www.nachtwache.org/projects/netsaint/utilities/nans/ I've never used it but appears to fit the bill. As far as your second comment, you might want to read about parent hosts in the documentation and this FAQ entry: http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=14

Subject: [Nagios-users] aggregated status messages

One thing I'd love to see from Nagios would be the ability to have aggregated status messages; I'd like to be able to tell it that when it feels the need to send a status message, it should tell me what (if anything) is already (still) down, what (if anything) has just come back up, and what (if anything) has just gone down.
 
That way, if a satellite router goes down, I get one email saying 'routerX down, hosts a,b,c,d,e,f,g now unreachable' instead of getting eight or nine emails.  Also, if a subnet goes down, but things are coming back up one by one, I can tell which is still down and which is still up.
 
Makes it more efficient for mobile devices reciving said emails, too.
