Dirk, 
 
Here's an idea for your consideration:   Master and Slave SA installs. 
 
A slave looks like the current SA:   GUI, Runs Checks, Can Alert, etc - but 
includes a new feature:  Ability to send current "Check List" and "Status" to a 
Master SA box. 
This could be a push "send" after each cycle - or it could simply hold the 
current status data until polled by the master. 
(Possible new check - LAST POLLED exceeds X minutes....) 
 
 
The Master SA would most likely be used for Alert configuration only.  It would 
pull in the check list from each machine and the current status and allow for a 
central alert escalation process. 
 
Later down the road, it would be great if the Master could "push" a config to a 
remote machine - that would mean all checks could be designed and managed from 
a single location, but run on remote installs of SA. 
 
Obviously this would be an Enterprise Feature - probably requiring each "Slave" 
to be licensed as an enterprise unit.  Maybe the Master SA console would be a 
separate application? 
 
Thoughts?
