I'm 100% for it. I beleive that lots of people have already done that in
a more or less clean way (parsing the logs, patching Nagios, running
a duplicate request with MRTG / Cricket).
It would be excellent to have an "official" way to export data from
Nagios.
Yet... how would that interact with the concept of 'trends' ? rrdtool
and Nagios' Trends basically represent the same kind of information
(the history of a variable). So... would it still be interesting to keep the
trends ?
