Thanks for the tip, but the DNS monitoring was only one example. There are 
also some other queries like WMI, SNMP, agent monitoring aso.

Cheers!

Could you use the check_dns plugin? Then if you couldn't resolve the host 
through either interface, it would alarm. It doesn't require an 
expected-address. I check a round-robin DNS entry this way, making sure it 
just resolves to something.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Aggregate multiple interfaces/services/hosts

Hello,

I would like to monitor a couple of devices ( servers and witches) that 
are connected to the network via at least two interfaces. Nagios server is 
connected as well over two interfaces to the LAN. My question is:

Is there any way to aggregate the monitored services/hosts into a single 
object that gives the critical status only when all aggregated objects 
have this status?

For example: the Nagios system has two network interfaces: 192.168.0.1 and 
192.168.1.1. I would like to monitor a DNS server connected to the network 
via 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.1.2 IP addresses. Of course I can reach the 
DNS server from Nagios two ways: either via the 192.168.0.1 interface or 
via 192.168.1.1. My target is to issue a warning/critical signal only when 
Nagios cannot query the DNS server on none of the IP addresses. Same 
should apply for hosts and network equipment and the service group should 
also provide performance data.

I have already gave a shot with Nagios BPI, but unfortunately I cannot use 
the service group to map it in PNP4Nagios.

Thank you!
