I use a mysql database to:
1)Parse all bb-host configuration
2)With my bb-hosts info into the mysql database I can generate some
reports I have developed. I have some scripts that extract raw data from
xymon and populate the DB daily and monthly.
3)I have in mysql all my hobbit-alerts.cfg data. I have a web based (php)
to configure and update the config file.The information are classified as
rules like in a firewall.
4)I log a more detailed information from the alerts/notifications on my
database.
5)I have all or almost all of my bbwin.cfg thresholds stored in my
database per server.
6) Daily and monthly I have reports of svcs,disks and uptime data updated
and stored.
7)I generate capacity/trends reports using the list parsed from bb-hosts
to mysql separated by projects/groups/type (php + mysql).
Regards,
Mario.

How can you say that. Is the DB being used been ported already to O/S's
which do not yet exist?

1)I haven’t seen one person mention that adding a DB back end might
reduce the flexibility to port Xymon to the next O/S or platform.
Probably because it wouldn't.
