Re: NASA needs Postgres - Nagios help

Correct. We are looking to use Nagios to monitor various parameters on our network, then store them in postgresql, which we will then synch to the ground and distribute as a quasi realtime telemetry system.

Those are plugins to monitor postgresql using nagios. For that, you should realy be looking at check_postgres. I think what the OP is looking for is a way to store Nagios metadata in postgres, which is something else.
