we should look to implement an "agent" of our own.
What if the users does not have any of those tools installed?
Do we tell them "install Ganglia, but not the graphing, only the
monitoring".
Ah and as this does not cope well with WildFly 94 please install
collectd on top?
not some "heavy" agent in the RHQ sense.
Running many of the small tools in parallel also has a cost. Similar
to forking hundreds and thousands of shell commands.
