[Nagios-devel] Databased configuration

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

It's currently supported in Nagios 1.0, using compile time options for MySQL
or PostGreSQL.

However, check:

http://www.nagios.org/upcoming.php

In particular, these lines:

8. DB support for retention data is being dropped
9. DB support for extended information is being dropped

Also note that at least one individual has begun work on an XML approach,
ie, manage the configuration via XML, then generate the Nagios config files
from the XML file(s).

HTH.
