Combining services for one histogram

[Marc Powell]

Cory Hollingsworth <mailto:Cory.Hollingsworth at pima.edu> shared with us:

> I've set up Nagios 1.1 to monitor a variety of services in our DMZ. 
> I would like to set up a host type for each high level service so we

> For instance, email consists of 47 separate services I'm monitoring

> service which will be registered as critical if any of the 47

You're looking for check_cluster. It's in CVS in the contrib folder.
