Saving nagios configuration to the database.

[ankur.trapasiya]

I have been using nagious to monitor my servers. So to make configuration easy i want to make a GUI app in which i can set the configuration parameters and save them in the database. So my configuration files will be generated from this database by the custom logic written by me for it. Which configuration management database is most suitable for my application ? I used oneCMDB but it is not a standard database which i can use for my GUI app so i am looking for the alternatives which can serve my purpose.

Thanks in advance.....

Why not just use nconf or nagiosql? These projects have been around for several years and already do what you're looking for.

I've also been working on the Nagios CCM, which is a fork of NagiosQL.

Believe me when I tell you that you don't want to start from scratch on this project. Use someone elses unless you absolutely need to write your own.

Thanks for reply. I am using NConf for my requirements.
