Nagios + mysql DB (Get it Right!)

True enough, but look near the top, under "2.0 Completed Features". To wit:
7. DB support for retention data is being dropped
8. DB support for extended information is being dropped
Having said that, scroll down to "2.0 TODO". Here's the good news:
"I plan on adding an external event interface that would dump all
service/host check info, alerts, downtime events, comments, etc.
from Nagios to an external daemon via a unix domain socket. The
daemon would then pass that data off to seperate user modules
(loaded at runtime) that would process the data anyway they please.
User modules will be able to register for different types of data
they want to receive from the daemon using callback functions. This
will provide an easy way for people to write their own modules to
dump data in a DB, process performance data, etc. The event daemon
is currently in development, but will probably not be publicly
released until 2.0 is into the beta process."
Mmmm, DB....

This statement is not entirely true...the text says and always
has...that db support MAY be dropped in version 3.0, not 2.0 as many
relay here.
Also if one would read further...it says:
" Please note that I do not plan on yanking the current DB support out
of Nagio unless it can be done in a better way using the event broker
daemon (which should appear in 2.x). So what that means is there should
be DB integration in some manner or another - its not completely
disappearing."
Ethan and others go to a lot of trouble to provide this information to
us, please let us read and relay ACCURATE information to others.
