Nagios & database support

[Matthew.Quinney at hollandandholland.com]

Dear All,

I was wondering if somebody could clarify to me how Nagios can support 
logging status data, ie the results of all service and host checks to a 
database file.

We have been running Nagios for almost a year now and the log files are 
rather large, plus we wish to manipulate the data to perform trending etc. 
Therefore in order to do this what do we have to do. I can see two choice 
here :

1. Global event handlers to manually copy the data into a mysql database 
of my choosing - however this would be messy as all data would have to go 
into one table.

2. Re-compile Nagios for database support - but does this store the 
service and hosts results or just the configuration ?

Any help and pearls of wisdom would be very gratefully received !!!

Thanks

Matt
