+Hi
+
+Please note, that ndoutils is currently not really
+in a stable state!
+
+To check the status of the ndo2db daemon, just try
+one of the tips from Tom Throckmorton:
+
+"I'm using check_mysql_query to check that db updates aren't stale:
+
+ check_mysql_query -H naghost -d <nagios_db> -u <readonlyuser> -p <somepass> \
+ -q "SELECT NOW() - status_update_time FROM nagios_programstatus" -w 120 -c 300
+
+If ndo2db is dead/failed to start, or there are other issues (corrupt tables),
+I believe this will catch it. You could also do something like watch the nagios.log
+for the dreaded "unable to connect to data sink" message, or check that the
+ndo2db process is running, though I'm finding that checking the db for
+freshness is a good indicator."
+
+Have a lot of fun!
