Consider a django SQLite DB for each of the machines or have a central "collection" server running somewhere that the various individual agents can talk to - a REST, XML-RPC, or so API.

Gosh, it didn't cross my mind, but that's it, the database is accessed from a
NFS share. Thanks for pointing this out.

It's executed by cron, on each monitored host.

Indeed. I just wanted to use SQLite to avoid the MySQL
installation/setup/upgrade cycle, but if I can't find a way to configure my
NFS mounts to allow better locking, I'd switch to MySQL.
