+# DataExport
+The data export engine supports exporting of data from RMT whenever a
+client visits the RMT server to received updates or an initial registration
+is performed.
+
+With this implementation the implementer can decide to forward all client
+data or specific data to some external service for data analysis for example.
+
+## Usage
+Place you implementation into /usr/share/rmt/engines/data_export/lib/data_export/handlers/ and implement the export_rmt_data function. The function takes no
+arguments. Data to be exported is extracted from the RMT data base.
