[op5-users] merlin performance data?

[Russell Jennings]

Yes, I see nagios at least gets the performance data.

We are considering using merlin in a distributed setup, and getting  
all the performance data on the NOC would be really excellent. Worst  
case i figure, we put the data on the nodes, and get to it there or  
sync them upstream to the NOC. but, sounds like this is easy enough to  
fix. So I will be as giddy as a school girl when this is implemented :)

Also, unrealted but not quite worth it's own e-mail... are the  
verbosity / logging options for merlin, out of the box, reasonable? or  
should i scale something back for a deploy?

Thanks,
Russell
