=0D=0Athe discussion of sql-based configuration made me worry about future =
of nagios,
so i thought i'd put in a word for text configuration.
web configuration is obviously evil. i DON'T want webinterface for configur=
ation.
this is not against just this one particular interface, i'm against all of =
them.
and i have seen many. none of web interfaces will ever become as convenient=
as a simple
and logical text representation. current nagios configuration model (as of =
version 1.2
i'm currently using, i havent looked at the newer ones) has some deficienci=
es and needs improvement,
but this improvement should not be moving configuration entirely to db.
when you need conveniece, you go back to the good old text editor and do yo=
ur
work, cutting and pasting, and merging, and deleting and whatever.
sql MIGHT be an alternative (although I still don't see much use it could h=
ave),
but the most obvious and convenient way of configuration (and by that i mean
text configuration) MUST stay there.
to anyone who might find this offensive, i express my apologies in advance,
all i wanted is my point made crystal clear.
Ethan, could you please confirm that text configuration files will be
fully supported in future versions?
