Sending an "all is well" status report

[Patrick Kremer]

I finally have Nagios working the way I want it and I'm about to replace our old What's Up Gold monitoring software. What's Up does have one feature that I like that I can't figure out how to reproduce with Nagios. It has a "recurring notification" feature that can send e-mail alerts containing the last few lines of the event log and "200 hosts up, 0 down". I like seeing that in my e-mail ever hour or two because it let me know that What's Up is still working correctly. I'd like a periodic status e-mail from Nagios if it's possible.

I'm not sure if I'm not searching using the correct terminology or if nobody really does this. I know I could do something like write a little shell script and check nagios.log periodically for auto-save entries, I'm just wondering if there is some builtin way.
