I'm not doing that so far but I just recently had the idea to write a
gearman worker plugin which may receive the perfdata send by mod-gearman
;-)

Anyway, I'm not sure if that makes sense after all. We would probably
need some kind of mapping of Nagios services to collectd instances. We
could use a generic mapping like
<nagios-hostname>/nagios-<service-desc>-<label>/<type> (i.e. similar to
PNP4Nagios with RRD_STORAGE_TYPE = MULTIPLE) and then let the user
specify a default type and a list of exceptions for that (similar to
DATATYPE in the PNP4Nagios check_commands configuration). Anything more
flexible would probably require quite some (user configuration) work.

Cheers,
Sebastian
