Description

For a couple reasons (loose coupling of concerns and not having to have every protocol under the sun in the Hydra plugin tree), Hydra should have a notification plugin which publishes relatively plain information about events to a file or similar. I can write this plugin.

Unless I get feedback, I'd like to go with publishing JSON to a file or FIFO.

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Hydra's existing plugin and event-notification code, then determine how a plugin can publish event data as JSON to a file or FIFO. Done means a notification plugin emits the requested plain event information through one of those endpoints.
