When notifications are sent, Nagios notifies us of *all* services that are down, each with an individual message. This is fine for services on different parts of the network, but very annoying for more core components (ex: switches). In the case of a switch being down, we'd rather be notified of a count of downstream devices that are down rather than a message for each one. Does anyone have an idea if this is possible with Nagios or a different notification plugin?

Look at the parent field on the host. You can set dependencies that way.
