i see that you use Protocol Buffers. from google's page, it seems like they only work with C++, Java or Python. now this could be a problem for us. what if i want to pull events from a bash script, a delphi gui app, SNMP, Dell idrac interface, or any other event? do they have to interface over Protocol Buffers, or am i missing something here? would i have to write a glue layer?
and what about, if you have two seperate networks, and want one server to forward data for its entire lan to the other server, to process and graph them?
