been thinking much about this and have idea ? what
about a ?event? pmda that coordinate and forwards pmie
exception ?events? to master server?
when different customer running different pmie?s have
a exception in their environment ? a pmie ?action? can
forward the exception message to the event pmda that
sends it to master server. big problem would be
getting those events into master pmie rule engine ?
not clear how to do but looking at pmie code.
anyone tried this? do any pcp experts have thoughts
on this?
