Oh! So what's your recommendation on a critical app/service like ORACLE or 
MSSQL? 

This is what I have now:
define service{
       use                             generic-service
       host_name                       dbsvr023
       service_description             Microsoft SQL Service - 1433/TCP
       is_volatile                     0
       check_period                    24x7
       max_check_attempts              3
       normal_check_interval           2
       retry_check_interval            1
       contact_groups                  sql-admins
       notification_interval           2
       notification_period             24x7
       notification_options            c,r
       check_command                   check_tcp!1433
       } 

This seems to be working now. But I don't know if the values here are good 
for production use. 

Thanks again. 

Neil
