Scheduled checks falling far behind

[Frost, Mark {PBC}]

Benny,

OK, well, I hope I'm not embarrassing myself with this.  It's a perl script and uses Ton Voon's nifty Nagios::Plugins module.  I run checks against things I want to know about.  Thinking about it, I guess it would be nice to have the failed hosts/services check alert on percentage of failures.  Maybe someday.

Mark

Boy, would I *love* to see your method for that!

I personally hacked the source of nagiostats to create a custom
plugin, but it's a horrible, horrible hack and I'd like to see
a cleaner, more scalable method.

Can you share?

Benny
