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
