performance data reporting

[Mike Koponick]

Florian,

I understand that perfparse stores it in a database, but I really don't
want to maintain two databases, and/or yet another set of tables. It
seems to me that you should be able to get performance data into the NDO
tables and calculate from there.

This is exactly the reason why perfparse stores data in a database.

Perfparse is designed modular so it could write data there. But i think
the parsing part of perfparse could die if nagios can write the
performance data to NDO itself.

In this case C is faster due to the huge amount of data.
