What GED is
What about storing local templated events and beeing able to centralize them on a distant site ?
And what if when acknowledged on the distant site, the local data retention were updated too ?
This is what GED stands for : events peer notification and n-level acknowlegdement propagation using HTTP encapsulation.
GED is a wire designed to handle templated data transmission over distributed networks.
From this point of view, GED can be associated to a monitoring software to externalize, dispatch and consolidate results. A dedicated GED's branch is under reflexion to provide native GED functionnalities under the Nagios Event Broker (NEB) modular layer. This dedicated module will be called Nagios Event Dispatcher (NED) and work just as the current Nagios Data Output (NDO) tools do, adding the distributed handling. For now, GED might be used as a Nagios data handler.
