OK, this is the point I have the question about. From what I can see, mod_bmx_status creates bmx_status_bean, adds stuff to it, and then prints it out. But how does it get access to, for example, the beans created and populated in mod_bmx_vhost? I understand that if you KNOW what beans you are looking for, you can query them via mod_bmx, but how do you know what beans have been added. Right now, for example, we have a simple hook that mod_socache_redis (for example) hooks into and once mod_status is done, it loops through all registered hooks. But I don't see any similar type of functionality in mod_bmx_status which allows mod_bmx_status to reproduce the full status information that mod_status currently does. So yeah, other modules create their beans. Fine. But how do those beans get "registered" in mod_bmx_status so that they can actually be displayed?
