Maddingue on IRC already opened a topic about the DB inventory. He has got some
Perl code to retrieve information from the MySQL DB on Debian.
In think we should do such inventory the way we do it for SNMP:
1) A little interface where people give a list of the machine with the
credentials for the various database and the type (MySQL, Postgresql, oracle,
etc).
2) When the agent contact the server, the server send a "scan this DB order"
with the machine address/port, the DB type and the credential
3) The agent send back the information to the server.

I'm willing to create the agent side part quickly and reuse Maddingue code
base. Anyone is interested to do this server side?

Best regards,
