collectd

For monitoring and graphing of servers and services, I would like to make a setup where collectd is the agent, collecting the data on the server, and munin is on the monitoring server, collecting the data from the agents an process it.

Reasons for this setup, is that collectd had a smaller footprint on the servers and munin (v2) has a better frontend.

I was wondering if there's an interface for this connection, or if someone has an opinion about why I shouldn't do this.
