NDOUtils doesn't store nagios configuration, just the check and  
process data. It's an 'output-only' target for nagios.

You will still need to use cfg files. Nagios is not capable of reading  
config files from DB. If that's what you're looking for, there are  
addons (differing for different versions of nagios) that allow you to  
manage configs in a DB then output them in a format that nagios  
understands. http://www.nagiosexchange.org should help you locate them.
