Upgrading questions

[Gallegly, Rob]

Thanks for the reply Randie.  It's pointing me in the right direction to
justify a purchase to my VP.  

As far as the database problem we are running Nagios 1.2 with MySQL 4.0.15.
I don't know if it is a problem with the database or with Nagios.  The
annoying thing is that I can see where my boss assigned service groups to
certain hosts but when I edit those entries it still has nothing listed for
service groups.  If I end up not being able to add a service group through
the web interface, does anyone know to which CFG file I would add it?  I
crawled through the host.cfg and service.cfg and didn't find anything in
there (I admit that I may have overlooked it).

Rob,

I don't know if this helps but I'm using nagios to monitor about 1300 sites 
and about 2000 services.  The box I'm using is a compaq PIII 800 Mhz SCSI.  
The machine is also gather MRTG stats every 5 minutes.  I haven't had any 
problems with the system keeping up with monitoring all the sites.  I think 
alot of what you will need depends on how often you are monitoring all your 
services(ie every 5 minutes, or every hour).  I have services that are 
monitored every 15 to 60 minutes.  I think the best thing to get would be 
something with alot of speed and fast hard drive access, that way all the 
services checks would be done as quickly as possible.  

I'm not to sure about your database problem.  What type of database are you 
using, and what version of nagios are you running?

Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.
