[collectd] Shouldnt collectd also provide an interface to the data?

None of those, sorry if I wasn't clear... What I would need is more
collectd "serving" the data to a client upon request.
Imagine I want to build a GTK frontend, that would run on my laptop: I
would specify the collectd server address and port, then click on
"server1" "load" and "daily" - the GTK frontend needs a way to
retrieve the data from the collectd server, here one day of load data
for server1 - and right now there is no easy way to do that (afaik)...


I hope this makes more sense, thanks
