Hi, Full disclosure: I work with Aaron, so consider this "+1" in that context :) We've now deployed this over a few dozen hosts, and with a small Python plugin on our server box pushing the notifications into a Stomp queue, it works really well for us. Obviously we'd love to see something like this implemented in the collectd itself - can you offer any feedback on the patch? Is this functionality desirable for collectd? Thanks, Darren _______________________________________________ collectd mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd
