Some of this data is collected from the vm and sent to the scheduler,
but not exposed in the normal nova notifications (iirc).

Internally we've been playing with Diamond for extracting this metrics
from our compute nodes. A Diamond -> CM bridge would be awesome.

We're really pushing hard for the other openstack projects to make more
use of the oslo notification framework and it's been well adopted so
far. For some high volume services, like Swift, the notification system
doesn't make sense, so there are efforts around things like Meniscus and
logstash -> notifications (or similar).

Hope it helps!
