Nagios and PostgreSQL engine?

Post by activenodes »

Can anyone tell us what is Nagios using PostgreSQL for?
If we decide to split the MySQL database to a separate server, can anyone tell us if we should do the same with PostgreSQL or is it embedded in the Nagios engine?

It is recommended that postgres remain local.

It is used for management of user options, component configuration, as well as local event and command management.
