• Ignoramus - Version 0.3 Development News

  Hi all, I have been looking for a way to open files for editing using only PHP, but the only way does not leave much flexibility. I have therefore decided to use a database-oriented approach. I had hoped that this will not be necessary, since it would make the installation and configuration of Ignoramus much more complex - but there just seems to be no other way of doing it. Therefore, version 0.3 will be reliant on a MySQL database to store the Nagios configuration commands to be written to file after configuration is complete. This does also open up a lot of possibilities for more advanced features in Ignoramus. It is also the only viable way to implement the editing of Nagios configuration files. Since the process of accessing MySQL from a PHP script is a lot more complex than simply working with flat text files, and since I have almost no knowledge of MySQL, it might be quite some time before version 0.3 is released and available for download. I will keep you updated on development progress as it is made. All for now, Jurie Botha (Project Admin / Developer )

• Ignoramus - Version 0.2.3 Development Started

  I have started with the next release. I plan to add a lot of check commands to the list on the Services Config Page. Also I plan to implement a function so you can directly append to your nagios configuration files. Editing an allready generated config is at this moment still out of reach, but will hopefully soon be implemented. Will keep you up to date on the progress of Version 0.2.3 . Ciao, MonkInsane
