That should be very easy if we define a good set of functions which can
be called on the central server. This way the plugin can request the
state (OK or WARNING) just by supplying the hostname or something as a parameter to
the appropriate function.

>From the past threads i remember that you would like to implement this
central server in python?
By looking around already for some information i found the following project 
which we can use to implement the transport. 
http://pyssh.sourceforge.net/

How can we start from here? Should i already write some specs about how
we should implement everything. Maybe some proposals for function(names)
already? Database design?
