Hi Iury,

This seems pretty awesome.  I threw in some comments

This seems really neat.  From my perspective, it seems like it waits
for notifications, and then writes it out to a file.  The flask server
seems to do nothing but pretty much serve the contents at /metrics.  I
think we should be doing more of this inside OpenStack to be honest
and this can be really useful in the perspective of operators.

I don't want to complicate this more however, but I would love for
this to be a pattern/framework that other projects can adopt.
