Which Version of NDOUtils? If > 1.4b7 I would not recommend it for 
historical data, or in case, if you don't need correct data in 
servicechecks, systemcommands and timedevents, you can keep it ;-)

AFAIK mk-livestatus can also ask the core for historical data, but I 
don't think parsing logs from the core would scale then. Also the 
overall memory consumption of the core loading the mk-livestatus module 
will will be more when having everything cached.

On NDOUtils you can set the data processing options in ndomod.cfg - this 
is just for the module itsself. Which event broker options are needed 
for mk-livestatus - well that's the thing to ask the devs. Also there's 
no option to set that directly onto the module as for it only gets the 
live socket as param (and debug mode).

I would recommend that you ask on nagios-portal.org where the devs are 
around.

Kind regards,
Michael
