#Loop: multiple port check

And an additional code snippet for a multiple port check:

$aPorts=array(
    "22"=>array("SSH"),
    "25"=>array("SMTP"),
    "5666"=>array("Nagios NRPE"),
    "5667"=>array("Nagios NSCA"),
);

foreach($aPorts as $iPort=>$aDescr){
    if (count($aDescr)==1) {
        $aDescr[1]="check port $iPort";
    }
    $oMonitor->addCheck(
        array(
            "name" => $aDescr[0],
            "description" => $aDescr[1],
            "check" => array(
                "function" => "PortTcp",
                "params" => array(
                    "port"=>$iPort
                ),
            ),
        )
    );
