Database access via Nagios

[Mohammed Murphy]

Thanks. I will take a look into the Event Broker stuff.

But just out of interest, does anyone know how the NINJA and NBOARD web 
front-ends access stored Nagios data?

This might give me a clue as to how to best tackle this task.

Thanks again in advance.
