[Brett S. <bre...@hu...>]

Great, can you let me know and Ill assist with testing and doco if you like.
I have a real need to get a thorough understandin on how this works. What I
want to do is integrate nagios and cacti. If I can get enough info on how
this works I think this would be the way.

Thanks

Brett Stevens

Wow, I didn't realize people would find it so challenging. Then again, 
I guess I did write it, so maybe I'm not an average user.

I'm currently making (what I hope will be) a massive performance 
improvement for the postgres inserter, and once I'm satisfied with that 
work, I'll make some actual documentation.
