The current interface is simple but non performing. While the check builds a string, some backend tools needs to parse it again. If shinken get more mature, there may be more backend-tools being able to handle Python objects and gain performance. BTW: IMHO it does not matter if the check converts some intelligent data type into a string or shinken core does in the backend. Well, tranporting the string via network *may* be a bit faster. > In order to be usable with Nagios there must be something like > if __name__ == '__main__': > # runs as standalone python program > plugin = Class... > print plugin.output + '|' + plugin.perfdata > exit plugin.exitcode > > so the file can be "imported" and cached by a Shinken poller and executed by > a Nagios. (similar to ePN) I missed describing this. This is exactly, what the test()-Method is meant for. >> * The performance data will be a dict.
