Hey list!

I've read in the list about stacking but it was in the context of graphs. I thought it would be pretty cool if service stacking was a possability.

Currently (as far as I'm aware) I would have to write custom plugins to capture each stat individually thereby increasing the number network connections to and from the host systems.

I thought it would be benificial to define a single custom plugin type that could accept several values back at once and stored as seperate items in the database.

For example, if I wanted to monitor the tablespace sizes in an Oracle database, I could run an sql script that would output the sizes all on the same line such as:

234562 623462 23462346 23462

...then have that data stored as seperate items for each of the four tablespaces checked.

Forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I havne't found anything on it.
