Hi Van,
I use a program called netsaint. (netsaint.sourceforge.net) It
uses mysql or postgresql for almost everything. The history file is
still flat ASCII, but its on the todo list to move it to the mysql
database. (it's the only file that has NOT been put into a
database!). The mysql plugin is in the contrib section of the plugin
modules. I run NRPE for getting stats from remote machines. E-mail
me privately and I'll give you the address and login for my netsaint
page if you are interested. I hope this helps.
Ken
