Re: [Nagios-devel] ndoutils and historical performance data

Post by Guest »

Hi,

at the moment i change the table design for perfparse and therefore it
will take some time for the next perfparse version. I also plan to
create a NEB module to hand performance data to the perfparse daemon -
similar like NDO module does that with the ndo2db daemon. Due to the
similar behavior i will try to use some of the existing code of the
ndoutils module - if the license let me reuse it (GPL?).
Does anyone know if the NEB API is stable in Nagios 2.X and 3.X? Is
there official documentation available?

Btw.: Nagios 3.0a3 and ndoutils 1.4b3 seem not to work well together. I
did all like described in the Install instructions, nagios works well,
but ndoutils only fills the tables nagios_instances and nagios_conninfo.
All other remain empty.
