It's a bad idea, because you hook the underlying data storage format
into the protocol.

You can always add something like that :

hobbitd_channel --channel=status --log=/var/log/hobbit/rrd-customengine-status.log hobbitd_rrdcustomengine --rrddir=/usr/local/hobbit/data/rrd
hobbitd_channel --channel=data --log=/var/log/hobbit/rrd-customengine-data.log hobbitd_rrdcustomengine --rrddir=/usr/local/hobbit/data/rrd

It's up to the reader to write the hobbitd_rrdcustomengine program (can
be Perl, Shell, whatever suits you).
