nagvis requires ndoutils; how stable is ndoutils?

[Kevin Keane]

I just installed ndoutils with mysql. There indeed was one pitfall: the 
database is growing quite large very quickly. Eventually, the DB got 
sluggish and couldn't keep up with the data Nagios threw at it (the DB 
server is quite underpowered). It got so bad that after a week or so, 
Nagios wouldn't even start up.

It turned out that it wasn't primarily the database itself, but binary 
logging. It is turned on by default (at least on CentOS) but you only 
need it for replication. If you are not using replication, simply turn 
off binary logging and you should be good to go. At least, I hope so; I 
only made that change yesterday, so I won't know for another week or so.
