nagios && rrd

[John Sellens]

As I understand APAN, the service check and the RRD update happen
at the same time.  Separating the RRD update from the "real time"
service check may smooth system performance somewhat - it would
even allow the graphing/history to be on a separate machine.  And
using the existing perfdata mechanism may provide a more flexible
interface - it would decouple the reporting (RRD, whatever) from
the service checks.

I think both approaches, APAN and perfdata/Orca/whatever, likely
have merits and drawbacks, and may (or may not) be appropriate
for different circumstances.  I'm not sure we (any of us) know
what the "best" answer is, so I was kind of looking at this as
somewhat of a research project.  i.e. It might be a dead end, but
I think it would likely give us some useful information that
may help provide an even better solution in the end.

i.e. I don't think of these as competing approaches, but as
complementary approaches.

Cheers
