Notes from IBP Poster Session:

Suggested technologies to investigate:
CIM (Common Information Model)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Information_Model_%28computing%29 Successor to SNMP

Data storage critical
Explosion of data!
Automatic expiration important

Use extra cores for processing log information/backplane needs?

Security aspects: How is access to sensitive data over the bus controlled?

Factors important in evaluating storage format:
Importance of time; sequential events important
automatic expiration of data
\__ Increasing delta in distance between data points as age increases

Possibly useful storage stuff
rrdtool - "Round Robin Database Tool"
http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/

StreamBase - Streaming database, extensions to sql
http://www.streambase.com/

Good idea to have system be closed under queries, query capable of reading results of other queries.

Log normalization/common log format necessary/impractical
