My apologies. I was trying to be funny, but it appears that my frustration

Yep, I've read that. Let me test my understanding. If I look at what is
running on my system, I see:
chris@mu:/var/log/icinga$ ps -ef | grep icinga
nagios 10839 1 0 Jun21 ? 00:00:52 /usr/sbin/icinga -d
/etc/icinga/icinga.cfg
nagios 16055 1 0 10:36 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/ido2db -c
/etc/icinga/ido2db.cfg
So /usr/sbin/icinga is the "core". It is reading it's configuration from
the files and directories under /etc/icinga. If I look in
/var/log/icinga/icinga.log, I see messages like:
[1372074263] SERVICE ALERT: localhost;Current Load;WARNING;SOFT;1;WARNING -
load average: 5.85, 2.99, 1.47
[1372074273] SERVICE ALERT: localhost;Total Processes;WARNING;SOFT;1;PROCS
WARNING: 263 processes
which leads me to believe that the core has found my configuration file in
/etc/icinga/objects/localhost_icinga.cfg, and that the core is monitoring
my localhost.
My understanding is that /usr/sbin/ido2db is responsible for taking the
monitoring data and storing it in a database. From the contents of
/etc/icinga/ido2db.cfg, I see that it has connection information for the
icingaidoutils database. But if I look in icingaidoutils, there is no
data in any of the tables.
Do I appear to be on the right track?
