(you most likely will have to change the "_" to "-") I don't think the schema will have to change for major Nagios versions. It might have to change in 2, but some sort of upgrade path could be created. I plan on just having the configurations in LDAP and having them generated to text files when Nagios is started or restarted. I think this will make for a much simpler start. Later, maybe I'll investigate hacking an LDAP backend into Nagios. -----Original Message----- From: Luke A.

It's not that it's that difficult to store the data; I just wanted to have the storage schema be definitively based on the Nagios code. What is xdata? I know that's the directory in nagios's source that contains all the configuration options, but does it expose interfaces or something? Searching for it on google has yielded me nothing else. Will I be able to use it with nagios to get data directly from LDAP somehow? If so, then yeah, I'll skip the whole schema generation thing, once I've got a good one in place. I just don't want to find myself having to modify the ldap schema all the time, so if I were generating it from the code, I know it would always be right. As to getting the data out, that's basically already done. I've actually almost got it going both directions: I've written a parser for the Nagios configs, so that if someone wanted to they could parse their existing, manual configs and then write them to ldap (or SQL, but I don't have that written).
