In the earlier reply from Adam, the idea of a plugin / module API was raised. So we could have a plugin that emulates the status quo and we could also have a plugin that does PostgreSQL Does the gmond module API work effectively on AIX and the other platforms you mention? Does the current build system correctly generate DSOs on some or all of those platforms or are there any platforms where people are still relying on static linking? > Personally I'd suggest to check, which tools are available in those > platforms.

For my 4.x proposal, I believe that we could still provide a lightweight daemon that reads from MongoDB (or whatever) and serves up an XML just like the current gmetad port 8651/8652 output. People who want a hierarchy of gmetad servers could then configure the next gmetad up the hierarchy to poll that XML service daemon.
