You can put status and other output data into a DB.
(xdata and comment options to configure)
Nagios does not have, and there are no plans to add, new object creation
capabilities during runtime.
So all Nagios needs at startup is the object config data. It is easier to
manage it through flat files than through a db specially if fields and
objects are getting moved around.
A lot of people would like DB support for integration into other tools
that have a DB backend. The way to acheive this is to write a tool to
dump your DB to Nagios' into config files.
