We had some headache about this problem some time ago in NagVis project.

You can take a look at the code of our ndo mysql backend tocheck out
how we worked arround that bug:
https://nagvis.svn.sourceforge.net/svnr ... vis/inclu=
des/classes/GlobalBackendndomy.php

This code/comments in the constructor belongs to the problem:

/**
* It looks like there is a problem with the config_type value at some
* installations. The NDO docs and mailinglist say that the flag
* config_type marks the objects as being read from retention data or read
* from configuration. Until NagVis 1.3b3 only objects with config_type=3D1
* were queried.
* Cause of some problem reports that there are NO objects with
* config_type=3D1 in the DB this check was added. If there is at least one
* object with config_type=3D1 NagVis only recognizes objects with that
* value set. If there is no object with config_type=3D1 all objects with
* config_type=3D0 are recognized.
*

if($this->checkConfigTypeObjects()) {
$this->objConfigType =3D 1;
} else {
$this->objConfigType =3D 0;
}

Follow the link to nagios-portal.org to get further information. The
thread is in german but google translate should do the job.
