Mysql Support

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

Don't fret.  There have been discussions in the past to implement either a database (MySQL/PostgreSQL) or XML solution.  But not by the author or core group.

Rather, some have wished (and I think a few have taken steps) for a database or XML solution, because to them, it makes their lives easier.  The conclusion was that yes, these solutions were viable, but instead of *replacing* the Nagios config files, the alternative solutions, once populated, would be used to *create* the Nagios config files.  Nagios would therefore need no direct modifications, Ethan et al wouldn't need to burn any additional midnight oil, and folks such as yourself would be happy campers.

Don't ask me what the status of such projects are, as I haven't been following them.
