In your previous email, you included a URL to a Nagios schema that I then imported into my openldap setup. With a little more work on the script that I posted, I don't see how it would be difficult to actually store Nagios configuration data in LDAP. There would need to be minor changes to the schema to make it work all situations, but then again, that would trivial. The question is, do you create a process to generate Nagios configurations, or do you create a Nagios LDAP xdata backend? I would be inclined to wait on the latter seeing as how Nagios 2 is nearing completion. -----Original Message----- From: Luke A.

However, I'm interested in generating the LDAP schema itself, not just the data. For instance, the code you sent won't work because my LDAP server doesn't know anything about the objectclasses or attributes in question. The people storing their configs in SQL have a similar problem: How do we get a valid SQL schema for any data we might end up storing? Their current solution is that someone has written a script which just creates the schema, but if Nagios's configs ever change, this script will have to be changed. I'm in the process of writing a (rather stupid) script to just generate the LDAP schema (i.e., something that will be imported by the ldap server at startup) based on simple parsing of the code, but it will quite likely break if the code it's generating from changes at all. Luke -- SCSI is *not* magic. There are fundamental technical reasons why it is necessary to sacrifice a young goat to your SCSI chain now and then. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
