Polling support via SSH Connections instead of xinet.d

Hi there. Im new here and hope this is the right place to post and ask about

I'm asked myself if the polling via SSH executing the observium_agent,
instead tunnel an insecure xinetd shouldn't be an option of the unix agent php task aswell.

i can be wrong but the overhead that ssh execution is producing is not that high that i expected to be in compare of the existing xinetd tcp connection.

My raw but working solution (php patch included) i described in one of my admin posts: http://ispire.me/polling-observium-unix-agent-with-ssh/

Tell me what you think please and if that might be a good option?
