Howdy all again,

Just sitting thinking here especially over the whole up.time thinghy.
Its not a bad idea to have the plugins output be entered into a sql
server of some type. So I am think of giving it a go in perl if there
are no plans to do the same or no one else is doing this. 

The way I see it working is that there is a sql plugin that takes
another plugin as an argument and any of the arguments for plugin X.
Plugin X then is run in the noremal way, and the data is entered into
the SQL server and then passed back to nagios. So know absolutly
nothing about plugin development for nagios, I'm going over any of 
the
docs I can find. But apart from the docs, anyone got any better ideas
on how to do this? Advice, tools etc etc. I suppose I gotta lean
sometime so no better time than now.

Thanks in advance
AJ
