The CGIs can read this for massive performance improvements – I’ve already made my downtime_sched utility use this file if available and things are much better. As far as Nagios itself goes, once it has read in the config file, then it holds the config in memory so theres no performance gain regardless.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Steve<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 4.0pt'> I was trying to install NDOUtils to mainly store Nagios 3.0 configuration information in the database and have Nagios pull config. info from it and use it instead of from the configuration files(The idea was to improve performance from what I'm told). However, It seems like You can only read info from the Nagios daemon using the NDOUTILS components but not the other way. 2 things, can this be done and if yes how would you go about it ? This is on a Linux machine, and for Nagios 3.0, latest NDOUtils. <o:p></o:p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
