I've implemented an Argus notification SQL log, but had to turn it off.

All I did was make a new method in the config, and sent notifications to it.

Method "sql" {
   command: /export/scripts/sqlnotify.pl %R
   send:    %T - %O - %A
   qtime:      0
   nolotsmsgs: yes
}

Since the script would connect to the db on each run (it wasnt
daemonized), I found that when argus had one too many notifications, all
my perl brought the machine down to it's knees, and I havent put forth
any effort to redesign it.
