Backend Nagios with a Network Correlation Device

You may with to try our PerfParse addon to Nagios.

http://perfparse.sourceforge.net

This feeds an external MySQL database with the plugin output from one or 
more Nagios hosts.  This may be on separate machine so that it does not 
effect your Nagios cluster.

It will not give as many reporting options as Nagios.  But it will give 
graphs and historical data.  The mayor advantage it does have is all 
reports come direct from highly optimized SQL statements, and are 
therefore very much faster than Nagios 1.2.

Wait a few days for the next version which will also have availability 
reports.

I hope this is useful to you,

Regards, Ben Clewett.
