An update on the agent:
I've converted the apache application on my development system to automatically be created when the unix agent is configured to send apache statistics.
At some point in the near future, the entire current "apps" infrastructure will be replaced with this method. It involves putting a script onto the monitored device which injects statistics into the agent. This is parsed by the unix-agent module which populates the applications table. The applications module then reads data directly from the array created by the unix-agent module rather than polling directly from the host.
We hope it should be faster, but we're mostly doing this to make it easier. Injecting things into SNMP is a pain. We also gain the ability to "detect" applications at poller time with no additional work, as we now do with ports and some other things.

The agent itself isn't in SVN yet. It needs xinetd to run, and includes no security at all (all security is provided by xinetd and/or firewalling).
I'm also considering writing a Munin-esque plugin system to allow graphing of arbitrary values from hosts running the agent.

Something like this would be pretty handy!
