External nagios monitoring

[DAve]

Good morning,

We are writing a app for a client that will display Nagios status in a 
way that doesn't strike fear into the minds of the PHBs. Currently the 
designers have a nice Flash based app with lots of pretty pictures and 
dancing monkey icons, all the glitter a CIO could want. I need to stuff 
data into a DB for the designer to use for updating the app.

I've looked at event handlers but I am leaning towards using the 
notification script to also update the DB. I don't think the event 
handler will execute for an acknowledgment correct?

My question, has anyone ever done this? I need to sent very little info,

1) the date
2) the host/service
3) the notification type
4) the admin name/string who acks the notofication

I have access to #1 through #3 for the notification handler obviously, I 
don't see where I have access to #4. Will I have to parse the 
comments.dat for that information or can I grab that somewhere?

Running Nagios 2.5

Thanks,

DAve
