If that is the case, is there a way around it? A replacement? What was it's purpose to begin with?

Thanks for all your guys' help so far, super useful :).

ndoutils is used to copy the status information from the logs into a mysql db. We are planning to fix up ndo for core 4 (it is one of the things the devs are working on atm), but we do not have a release schedule. I suspect, at the latest, that ndo will support core 4 by the time we release the next revision of XI (early 2014 tba).

ahhh, I think we need it for the amount of services we check....I might have to roll back to the latest 3.x instead of 4.01 then. Is there an alternative?

unless you think it cane keep up without an SQL? We have 1600~ service checks.

does the latest 3.x take perl scripts and run them as one process, as opposed to many? We noticed 3.4.1 does many, and that's bogging our system down.

SQL DBs will not make your server check faster. It is strictly for the preservation of historical data.

Comment out the line:

Code: Select all

broker_module=/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ndomod.cfg
in:

Code: Select all

 /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
And restart nagios:

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

What plugins package did you end up compiling? You are talking about the stderr output correct?
