I made a plugin to support object data from Mysql instead of text files, it
made a noticable speed increase in the system that we are running, ie 3000+
hosts and about 7000+ services.
The CGI:s went a lot quicker reading object data ( hosts,
services,contacts,commands) from DB instead of text files.
I really think it's nice to have DB support as, IMHO it scales better and
allows you to have the db on a separate machine for perfomance.
Also, it's really nice when you do provisioning against nagios to insert new
hosts and services from an external system, ie and hardware inventory syste=
m.
What is the reason to nuke the DB support. When I wrote the object data plu=
gin
it seemed that the base source was in such away to allow these kind of
plugins, is there significant changes in the base source that would make it
hard to support the DB plugins ?
