I was considering deploying collected at work on ~500 servers and I am shocked that this has not been solved yet. Everywhere except on single-host networks (which I believe are not very relevant for a package whose only purpose in life is efficiently and scalably monitoring servers), the common use case for this package is to be configured as "client", not as the graphing "server".

Indeed, it is quite annoying having to clean up after a package on every system because the default configuration is designed for the special case instead of the common one. -- ciao, Marco
