NDO: Storing Host Alias in NDO?

[Hendrik Baecker]

Hi Lars,

I have only a nagios3 test environment here with ndo and there is a db
field for the alias in it:

SELECT display_name, alias FROM nagios_hosts n LIMIT 0,1000;

display_name is the host_name und alias the alias.

Is it different in nagios2-ndo?

Regards
Hendrik
