Suggestion- pluggable backend to record/send data 'wherever' #333

I thought my desires for  logging, maybe a graph were reasonable...then I saw 
47 other flavors of output that were wanted...

Seems like your time might best be figuring out a way to design a pluggable 
backend -- maybe a non-blocking subscription-host -- then a client program 
could ask for regular data updates via "the connection"...

That way others could help write backends for stuff they wanted -- relieving 
burden on you and providing freedom for them (hopefully a win-win)...

Same for allowing for data collections from other types of "monitor modules" 
(or drivers) -- creating a pluggable interface could allow for people to write 
monitors for hardware that might never otherwise be supported.

Just some thoughts... feel free to close or leave it open.  I thought the idea 
of local named-pipe or network-socket updates would provide safety for the 
monitor (no linking in foreign code), while providing sufficient performance 
for this type of app..?
