Nopes.

Feel free. I'd recommend C, since that would make it possible to load
your code as an eventbroker module.

What's your intended use-case for the data thus collected? The snapshot
spec describes how to get a snapshot, but not what it's supposed to be
used for. Syncing states between two peered Nagios instances that have
gotten out of sync also requires deciding which of the multiple
snapshots to use, and that's really the hard part of it.

terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
