Yeah, DRBD-MC simply parses XML obtained by cibadmin. Actually the helper
program connects itself to the cib socket registers and waits for events,
so that the GUI updates itself in realtime. Before it used mgmt via
available python library to talk to the cluster, but it got out of favour,
so I've exchanged all the commands about a year ago.

Any other option, like connecting to CIB remotely or using libcib, would
require change of the configuration or installation of some additional
software on the servers, which I am trying to avoid.
