Description:

The Merlin project, or Module for Effortless Redundancy and Loadbalancing In
Nagios, was initially started to create an easy way to set up distributed
Nagios installations, allowing Nagios processes to exchange information
directly as an alternative to the standard nagios way using NSCA. When starting
the Ninja project we realised that we could continue the work on Merlin and
adopt the project to function as backend for Ninja by adding support for
storing the status information in a database, fault tolearance and some other
cool things. This means that Merlin now are responsible for providing status
data, acting as a backend, for the Ninja GUI.
