If we use the APIs, we will have to poll the data periodically and look for changes, and we will get them in delay. By listening to the message bus we can get the notifications immediately, like we do with other openstack components.

is the idea that you don't want to use a webhook to be notified? when an 
alarm is computed by aodh-evaluator, it sends this alarm (via message 
queue) to aodh-notifier which in turns does the webhook. if you just 
disable aodh-notifier, the alarm won't be consumed and you can listen to 
it yourself.

alternatively, it was discussed that maybe adding a zaqar notifier would 
be useful. that way, aodh-notifier would send alarm to zaqar and you 
could configure it to requeue or maybe send a smtp.
