Hi Ricardo, We're already doing something similar with Nagios and ActiveMQ - several Nagios services publishing all check results onto ActiveMQ topics. Our achitecture is a bit different (we've implemented it as a nagios eventhandler instead of directly in the Nagios engine itself), but we've been using STOMP via Perl and not seeing any problems with performance at all. I don't see you having any problems using a C STOMP implementation either unless you're doing thousands of nagios calls a second. cheers, James.
