RRDtool & monit

[alex black]

hey all,

I'm using monit for all system processes on all the servers I run, it  
works wonderfully, dutifully notifying me that it has prevented the  
sky from falling.

It has occured to me that it would be VERY VERY nice to have monit  
also collect performance data and write RRD databases, since it is  
constantly running and checking processes. The most interesting  
performance data for me is system load an HTTP response times on  
localhost (I want to know if it is taking 10 seconds for apache to  
respond), however I'm sure it would be trivial to collect other data  
as well. Even better if that information was exposed in the monit  
HTTP interface. I would be happy to donate an interface design for  
that, btw.

Self monitoring and self healing machines = sexy ;)

Any thoughts?
