New event broker module for DB storage...

[Ethan Galstad]

Hi All -

Its been a busy last three weeks.  For almost seven months now I've 
been working on an event broker module that will dump all 
configuration data and realtime status information from Nagios to a 
MySQL database.  While the planning and some initial was done a long 
while back, 80% of the coding occurred in the past three weeks.

So I'm happy to announce that you can now test a very beta version of 
this module.  The event broker module is part of an addon called 
'ndoutils'.  NDO utils addon consists of several components, two of 
which are the most important....

	ndomod.o	- An event broker module for Nagios
	ndo2db		- A daemon that takes output from the ndomod broker module
				  and stuffs everything in a database.

MySQL is the only supported DBMS at the moment, but Postgres support 
will be added after things are tested some more.

You'll need the absolute latest CVS snapshot of Nagios to use this.  
The CVS changes were just committed in the past hour, so it might be 
a few hours before you can actually access it (SourceForge has a 
slight delay).  Make sure the readme the README and TODO files before 
you try compiling and installing the addon.

The first public snapshot of the NDO utils package can be downloaded 
at the following URL:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26589&package_i
d=173832


The database created by the ndo2db daemon will serve as the basis for 
the new web interface in Nagios 3.0, so its important to get your 
comments in about this.  Its not complete by any means, but its a 
darn good start.  Comments and patches are welcome.
