Nagios Support Forum

This might seem like an odd question, but why is the configuration of the Object Notes stored in the postgresql database instead of in the MySQL database like everything else? Seems a little odd considering there's even schema built in at the object level (hosts/services) for notes on the object in MySQL.

I believe the object "notes" directive limitations are the reason (var size, special characters, etc). So we added the feature as an XI option, and all XI specific settings/data are stored in the postgresql "nagiosxi" db.

Yucky. Okie dokie, makes sense. I'll just shoe-horn this another way then: This sounds like a job for "The Actions" component.

Feel free to lock this thread, doubtful I'll be pursuing "Notes" any further.

I would like to add that the postgresql database will be removed in favor of an additional MySQL database when XI 5 is released later this year.
