There are a few hurdles to overcome (we configure nrpe via puppet, we have a few cronjobs that output files that we then monitor, and so on) that will need to be overcome before something like that makes sense. Maybe we can brainstorm about this a little and see if we can come up with something that makes sense for «associated machines»?
