AW: Cascading Services/Service hierarchy

[Gerd Müller]

Servus James, 

> The real problem is reporting/SLAs. We are required to guarantee the top-level services, but the lower-level services determine if the top-level service is accessible. However, as I said, this is the OpenView model and we really need to keep away from trying to figure out how to "port" OpenView to Nagios. Instead, we need to look at the services we are providing and how we can monitor them with Nagios.

I see two possible solutins for your situation. First use "check_cluster" and second - better - abstract the sla view from the technical view. that means create own independent services for each sla, which will only check if your promised service is alive. 

And "kein Problem" and Greetings (also to your boss :-) ) from Nürnberg
