pnp4nagios update

Hi
When will NagiosXI be updated to use the pnp4nagios v0.6 version?
If this isn't going to happen for a while, has anyone upgraded from pnp4agios 0.4 to 0.6?
I've tried and while I can get Nagios to update the rrd files in the new pnp4nagios home, I can't figure out how to get nagiosxi to display the graphs with the 0.6 interface.
Any help or upgrade steps would be appreciated.
regards... Fred

Unfortunately this is unsupported and I don't know when Nagios XI will be updated to use pnp4nagios 0.6.x. If you manage to get it working please consider sharing what you did here.

We upgraded the performance data processing script (process_perfdata.pl) to the one that is used in PNP 0.6 as of 2011R1.3. However, XI no longer uses the PNP front-end as of 2011R1.3, instead we use our own internally-developed code to create and display performance graphs.

Thanks for the update.
it's a pity about not using the pnp4nagios 0.6 and the new interface - it looks pretty slick!
These are the features that you need to incorporate into NagiosXI - Display of performance data is an important feature.

We've got other visualization projects coming soon if you're interested.

Mike - This looks brilliant!
The zoomable graphs are a great feature. I look forward to using this *really soon* please!
Will you also be providing an interface to draw "other/custom" graphs from the RRD files?
For example, I use the disk capacity RRD files to do linear projections for capacity planning.
Keep up the good work!
Regards... Fred

Currently the graphs will be for anything that is a nagios service that generates an rrd. The initial features will include a zoomable graph with a customizable timeperiod, as well as a time-stacked graph, that will show a set of days, weeks, or months of performance data stacked on top of each other for comparison.
