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.</div></blockquote></div> Thanks for all those helpful comments guys! You might have saved me from a few disasters here. I think I am staying away from Nagvis (and ndoutils ) for now. Nagviz seems to me one of those tools that simply look great but the back-end still needs quite some work before I'd be brave enough to unleash it in a production environment! -- Rahul
