Harold,
You don't need to compile anything. However, your request was to
have HQ just give you 'the info I need'. What info is that? metric
data? Over what time range? What granularity? For which resources?
Perhaps your request is generic, perhaps it isn't. Regardless, HQU
is meant to make it easy for you to export whatever data you want
from HQ to your application.
You will, however, need to do a little legwork. It won't just
'export the info you need' via magic.
To get your data into your app, just have your app make an HTTP
request to HQ (plenty of examples for that included on
hquplugins.org, in the shell scripts). That HTTP request needs to
correspond with the HQU plugin on the HQ side of things.
