Fyi - plain text files are less system intensive than a db - with our standalone instances we monitor about 2k hosts per poller (about 10k active checks). A db back end makes management and command / control easier with large deployments but .not needed for just. 400 hosts.
If you want a nice UI, check out fruity or lillac for configuration.
