Integrate Nagios to Pentaho

[lafargeuser]

Is there any way I can integrate Nagios to Pentaho for Reporting purpose.

Here, I would like to connect Nagios DB from Pentaho, so that, it will fetch data from Nagios DB & generate reports.

My concern here is, how do I connect Nagios DB from External ? Is there any method ?

Or using Nagios Backend API, I will be able to achieve this ?

We do have our backend API document here: http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... nd_API.pdf

I would strongly recommend against polling the database directly, since one wrong command can cause all sorts of headaches.
