Re: [Nagios-db-devel] Segfault

[Lindsay W. <li...@ul...>]

I'm not sure about the seg fault but I certainly got the same error 
message when I had not altered inerter.c to use the correct host, port 
number and DB username.

After doing that and recompiling it started to work.

Search for 'connect' or 'Connect' in inserter.c.

I couldn't find a way to add a password (I'm sure it's possible, just 
need to better understand PQConnect?) so I just set up a passwordless DB 
account.

The above instructions are for the 0.9.1 release. CVS does things 
completely differently and I believe you provide arguments in the 
nagios.cfg when calling the inserter.o to authenticate to the DB, though 
I've not had time to test that out yet.

Hope that helps.
