Just to widen that up a little more, leaving out the so far unused nsca at our site: Actually we are using the pipe to send in PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT to our different old nagios configs. As far as I understand for active checks the scheduler gets the results from the pollers and distribute it. In shinken/external_command.py the are two methods load_scheduler(self, scheduler) and load_arbiter(self, arbiter), which I hoped a scheduler is also prepared for reading a local pipe and reacting on (at least) the hosts he knows about. That would be sufficient in our setup and allow multiple entry points for passive checks, fitting well in the distributed architecture of shinken. In the more far future Messages for a host not handled by this scheduler could be probably forwarded to another scheduler. Just a few more ideas.
