Nagios database integration

[Ben Clewett]

Dear Travis,

You may want to look at our PerfParse project:

http://perfparse.sourceforge.net

This is a sister product to Nagios which imports Nagios data into it's 
own MySQL administration program, with a CGI front end.  This gives you 
graphs of plugin output and availability reports, as well as keeping a 
permanent record of Nagios data for a variable unlimited time period.

This might give you some functionality you are looking for.

Ben
