An interesting concept I've been exploring today could be an alternative solution to exactly the same thing...
Am trying to find out of it is possible to probe the number of downed probes of a dude server instance. Idea being that if a device is a 'dude server', then we could make a service that counts the total number of 'down' services inside that instance.
Use case is where we deploy a dude server on CHR or CCR at each customer location, and then we have our own central dude server that just includes those dude servers on our maps (or submaps) - if any device monitored by a customer's dude server goes red, then our view of that dude server goes red, thus givig a multi-layered 'submap' solution (so long as each 'layer' is headed up by a dude server of its own)
I have not determined whether that is possible yet though (probe of dude server 'down count') :-}
