Well, the message might be, but I think the internals are a bit
different. I think status events are just recorded in one and the same
host/service struct{}, and whenever something is to be passed to the
module, it dumps all of it instead of select parts. It's easier, I
suppose, and allows modules to do all that Nagios does, which is sort of
the general idea with modules.

If not, you can always open up your own project. It's really not that
difficult.
