Remote SQL Server integration

[Maveric]

I'd like to know if it is possible to integrate Zabbix with a MS SQL server running on (remote) Windows 2003 server, this in order to store Zabbix's datas.

For my understanding, it is just a matter of porting the DB interface which is db.c and db.h files, and making the appropriate sql script to create tables needed by Zabbix.

Am I right or did I miss something ? Any experience on this is welcome?

I do not see any technical reasons why it cannot be implemented. Would you be happy to sponsor this development?

Well, I would be interested to have an global idea of what man-power represents the addition of SQLite in the coming release of Zabbix.

I think adding the support for SQL Server may be comparable in term of man-power.

Any idea ?

I sent my thoughts to your email.

ZABBIX SIA developments

As the sponsor for the SQLite integration in ZABBIX, I can report the professionalism of ZABBIX SIA for this development:
* man-time and duration estimation are initially correct, and finally achieved
* even in case of geographic distance (I'm from France, ZABBIX SIA is in Latvia), everything go smooth due to the professionalism of the ZABBIX SIA team

In short: ZABBIX SIA knows what a "project with a fixed price" (fr: "projet au forfait") mean, and it's very pleasant in our actual time (agile development, market pressure reducing delays, distributed and joint development of solution).

If interested by some user feedback, feel free to ask (PM and/or mail).

Cheers,
