Nagios-db mysql module not working

Hi All!

I have Nagios 2.0b5, nagios-db 0.91 and MySQL 4.1.15, including
MySQL-MAX 4.1.15. When Nagios starts I see the module is loaded
("nagios-db: inserter locked into db") and the appropriate message when
nagios shuts down. However, nothing is getting loaded into the database,
and I do not see any error messages in /var/log/messages. 

I have changed inserted.c to reflect the user/password of the database
(nagios/nagios) and I can log inusing the mysql command and insert data
directly into the tables. I have also tried changing the values (i.e.
nagios2/nagios) in the nebmodule_init function and it reports the error
"nagios-db: inserter failed to connect to db". This convinces be that at
least I am connecting to the database and the username/password are
correct. 

The nagios.cfg has this:
 
event_broker_options=-1
broker_module=/opt/INSTALL/nagios-db-0.91/neb/mysql/inserter.o

And the path is correct. 

Near the top of the loadconfig function I added this:

write_to_logs_and_console("Inside of
loadconfig",NSLOG_INFO_MESSAGE,TRUE);

As well as in a couple of other places. 

My assumption is that it should write an entry to /var/log/messages when
this function is called. Perhaps the function is being called, but this
line is not writing to where I expect. It seems that other than the
init/deinit functions, nothing else is getting called.

I loaded another NEB module that has this:

snprintf(temp_buffer,sizeof(temp_buffer)-1,"EVENT: %d MESSAGE:
%s",event_type,tmp_service->plugin_output);
write_to_all_logs(temp_buffer,NSLOG_INFO_MESSAGE);

These messages are getting writting to the /var/log/messages.

I am at a loss as to where to look next. Any help is greatly
appreaciated.

Regards,

Jim Mohr
