<div class="gmail_quote"><div>Hello again. So I've got the ndo2db module installed and working, but now I have some questions. The results of my service checks are being logged to the nagios_servicechecks table, which is very cool. However, I have a bunch of tables in the nagios database which are not populated. I won't list them all, but I'm most interested in nagios_hosts and nagios_services. What's interesting is that hosts and services seem to be stored together in the nagios_objects table. Hosts are stored with an objecttype_id of 1, with the hostname stored in name1. Services are stored with an objecttype_id of 2, with the hostname stored in name1 and the command stored in name2. Also worth noting is that the nagios_servicechecks table never refers to columns from the nagios_hosts and nagios_services; instead it refers to the object ids. So I guess those are mostly observations, not questions... Some questions then: <ul><li>Did I do something wrong/different during the install process, or are these tables empty by default for everyone else?</li><li>Say I want to monitor a new host, should I edit my config files as in the past or add the information to the database? If I add it to the database, should I use the nagios_objects table or mess with the nagios_hosts and nagios_services tables? </li><li>Does anyone know what all of the objecttype_id codes mean? So far I have 1 (hosts), 2 (services), 9, 10, and 12. </li><li>Why are those tables there if they are not being used?</li></ul>I may think of more questions later; these are the ones that immediately popped into my head. Thanks, -Frank PS: I have not seen much documentation about ndo2db. If anyone has a good resource, please share! </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">-----Original Message----- From: Frank J.

Hi, I've just started using ndomod and ndo2db on a development server to have status checks logged to a MySQL database instead of flat files. I am using Nagios v. 2.10 on the development server, v. 2.7 on the production server. The one on production can probably be upgraded to 2.10... Anyway, the readme file in the ndoutils-1.4b7 says: This code is still an alpha/beta quality, so expect problems if you intend to use it. Make sure that you aren't using it with your only production installation of Nagios, or it could take down the Nagios process if the NDOMOD module segfaults. Nagios could segfault silently and you might never know that Nagios crashed... However, I see from the SourceForge site that this code hasn't been changed since 10/31/2007. Is this add-on relatively stable? Are other folks using it in production? Is there anything in particular I should be aware of? Thanks! -Frank </blockquote></div>
