Hi,

Yes, i did some work to create a menu like the existing one in php. I 
expect a easier integration and cusomizing in nagios and if someone wants 
it: some themes (html/css).

I use 2 libraries: smarty and adodb. smarty is a template engine. This 
separates logic and design in the sources. We can have software developers 
and html designers. The software devs change the .php files, the designers 
change the files under the templates dir. adodb is a database abstraction 
layer. We could use pear::DB too, i'm used to use adodb - thats all.

The libs are included in the source:

http://bier.kicks-ass.net/php-perfparse/php-perfparse.tar.gz

Install:

On default nagios/perfparse installations just unpack the file and move 
all files within the new created php-perfparse dir to 
/usr/local/nagios/share. You'll probably have to create a templates_c 
directory where smarty can create compiled templates. So templates_c 
should be writable by apache.

What works:

The first 2 menu-options work and the display of graphs works. All else is 
easy, but we have to do it one day :-)

If there is a html-designer out there: look at the templates dir and hack 
the files within there. Just don't touch the things in curly braces {}.

I hope we can start a collaboration here!

I know jpgraph a very little bit. The problem we had with tikiwiki (a 
other project i work on) is the license of jpgraph.

I think the C graph drawing has some advantages. But we'll probably have 2 
alternatives in the future. We'll see.
