Mysql Support

[Jeremy Russell]

That would be cool...  That's what I was really thinking.  I would like
to have all the alternatives, DB, flat text, etc...

I just want each alternative to contain all aspects of the data.  Not
just the extended data, as Nagios currently is.

The wrapper system would allow more things (Configuration Management,
Change Management, and other Network Management features) to be
integrated directly into Nagios with more ease I would think.

I was actually thinking of creating a wrapper system for the database
support. so that the wrapper itself handles all the calls to
mysql/postgresql/flatfile/??XML?? depending on the define at build time.

I have seen this type of wrapper for Mysql and Postgresql.  adding
support for other types shouldn't be trivial..

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.
