Or maybe see if I can forward port the zeromq plugin that was "backported" or something. Might be saner to try to do this outside of the collectd tree? This does seem like a nice fit for zeromq, so I'm hoping I can make this work -- even if this model is only deployed selectively for places where we need to avoid UDP. > My actual requirement is simply to have a high-performance TCP alternative > > to use in remote datacenters, so if there's something else that works as > > well or better, I'd be grateful for any pointers. > > The AMQP plugin might be worth a look. > > Yeah, I was worried about the "this is a work in progress" note on the wiki page next to the subscribe example, but certainly I could give that a shot. I've got a little experience w/ AMQP brokers, so that shouldn't be too bad. Thanks for the tip. > Also, there's this idea of creating a "netcmd" plugin [1].

I'll keep a lookout for this plugin in the future too. Thanks, Hans
