  Description     : Distribute active Nagios checks across your network

Mod Gearman provides a way of distributing active Nagios checks across your
network.

It consists of two parts:

One part is a nagios event broker module which resides in the Nagios core.
This module adds servicechecks, hostchecks and eventhandlers
to a Gearman queue.  There can be multiple equal gearman servers.

The counterpart is one or more worker clients for the checks itself.  These
clients can be bound to host and servicegroups.
