ndoutils is only "one way" putting config, status and historical data 
into a mysql database. the current cgis or even the core do not take 
those values into account for doing their work. you might use other 
addons to present the data from mysql then.

if you are considering an install of ndoutils, make sure it's either a 
cvs + patched version of 1.4b9 or the old 1.4b7 which runs smooth. 
current 1.4b9 contains some severe bugs which haven't been fixed for a 
while now.

kind regards,
Michael
