Is anyone using v2 in production?

[local.coder]

Having been around Nagios some time I will now jump in to mention what many may
not remember.

<soapbox>
During the 1.0 codebase many people wanted varied database support for several
things. Ethan saw that meeting the masses was going to kill the core functions.
He stated back in pre 1 that he would be dropping the code for what I still
feel is a very good reason.

The 2 code base will have a central engine with an API that will allow external
modules to deal with nagios data. This will allow for database modules, alert
modules, custom report modules and better gui modules. The idea here is that
someone with good mysql coding will make the db modules just as they have now
without forcing Ethan to divert attention on it. Then someone who knows
postgres and MS SQL can make their modules. As we have seen without the plugins
Nagios would be dead but those are completely maintained by a different group
of people with their own release points and feature goals.

As 2 gets into testing by us front liners you will start to see more modules and
plugins that cover databases and kitchen sinks. Think of this as your
opportunity to be an integral part of the Nagios development. In the past
people complained about the web pages being c and hard to change. The same was
said about the database support. Under 2 it becomes a wide open field and the
more who play the better the software.
