Sounds lovely. (Being careful what you mean by "events" - I'd
have two separate lots, logged state changes (nocol's log/* files)
and current-status (the data/*-status files).)

Well, I'm certainly interested, and my C is reasonable though not
great. I'd like ideally to have a common top-end (replacing the
core bits of nocol, or bin/netsaint) which would serve as an interface
layer between the monitors (ideally we could talk to nocol monitors,
netsaint monitors, bb, or whatever else we felt like) and the database.
Separate from that would be the netconsole-equivalent, with all the
select-froms...
