I'm also very interested in a back end db<->Php<->XML configuration add-on. Please let me know when you manage to get something useful.

I've been busy quite a while dint have time to reply till now. Hmm.. I am still working out on the GUI before I start thinking about the db structure. If theres anything, I dont mind sharing with the list. Jasmine Instead of comma/tab-delimited files, why not XML? I know there are already others working on an XML-based solution to what you describe. Since XML seems to be the way to go, this might be preferable. Food for thought. jc I would like to see a useful graphical front end as well. I haven't been able to get Nagat to even display on my box (and I've gotten no responses to my calls for help). I would suggest that it would be better to not use a database backend though. I would rather have a front end that parses the configuration files on the fly. That way you could use either the front end or manually edit the config files at any time. My team is working on some perl scripts that build configuration files from comma and tab delimitated files. I would be happy to make them available if they would help. Thanks, Robert S. Galloway Chief Network Security Engineer IKANO Communications ...the Internet branding company Official Data Networking Services Provider for the Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games of 2002 securityguy@ikano.com Hi Jasmine, I can't say I have come across a useable db scheme, but I have noticed that there is a demand for a graphical (or more intuitive frontend) for configuration of Nagios. (Nagat isn't really the answer, I agree; though I do believe PHP/MySQL is up to it). So if you want to make an effort, let me know; I'm willing to help.
