push, instead of pull

[joeblew99]

As i understand it, RTOP is a pull based model where a central server ssh's in on some schedule and runs and grabs data. But i am thinking about adapting the model. Dont kil me, but just discussing....
It should be pretty easy to make it just a config setting perhaps..

1. Run a Scheduler in golang. Easy. Set by config
2. Runs the standard stats collector
3. Pushes the data up to the standard endpoint.

The reason for this Question 7 Issue, is because i have devices out in the field, with the IP address dynamic. Its IOT style world :)

dont want to break all the other bits to this - for example the central server can be make to work with both push and pull model.

Would be curious of your thoughts. DO you support this ? DO you want to kill me for suggesting this ? etc

There already are such software out there -- try collectd or munin if you want open source, or RapidLoop's own software OpsDash as a commercial option.
