Great job Sandy,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are using the events generated and
described in the SystemUsage blueprint (
http://wiki.openstack.org/SystemUsageData).

We are going to send a new blueprint (or I should say a part II of the
existing blueprint) to extend the current implementation of System Usage
notifications to cover more resources of Nova (volumes, floating ips, fixed
networks, tenants, images...). Sounds to me like a good fit.

We would like to contribute in Folsom developing these enhancements, and I
think your stackstach tool will help a lot.

Regards
Diego
