My problem is figuring out how to get them there without say, using a NAS device.   (If I/O's a problem locally, I don't want to shuffle that I/O to an even slower network device).

Like if maybe Merlin have a special kind of peer that just received a stream of perfdata or something.  Anything else I could imagine would be some kind of home-grown solution like say pumping events into a messaging system from the Nagios server(s) and then letting the graphing server pick them up from the message queue(s).  I could also imagine some kind of fancy-pants module in Nagios 4 that did something like this, maybe.

Using the NERD radio you will be able to stream your checkresults
off-site (once the macro-processing patches are done, that is). It's
Nagios 4 only, but I know you've been looking at that already so
perhaps that's not be a big issue.

The "will be" is a bit of a showstopper though, but I have to have
it done by next wednesday.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
