MySQL DB instead of flatfile

Post by bharti »

Hi

I would like to mysql DB with nagios for data storage instead of using default DB flat file.
Is it possible to change and how?

Thanks

There are two addons that address this.

First, NDOUtils will store check data and history in MySQL, making it available to other applications for display.

Second, NagiosQL lets you build the configuration in MySQL and write it out to the flat files Nagios expects.

Nagios does not support reading configurations directly from a SQL database.
