Whenever someone says, "I want reports," I think:  well, what you
*should* want is data that you can put into your favorite reporting
tools.

We have a little servlet that gives a snapshot of a handful of basic
overall metrics to slot into our "library dashboard".  See DS-552 for
my approach.  Something like that could offer varying levels of
detail.  I think this might be a good sort of thing to add to the REST
API work.

(Then, just to make things *really* convoluted, you could layer up a
job that takes periodic samples and stuffs them into a database, so
that Excel or SPSS or Crystal Reports(?) or what-have-you can fetch
the latest, or pull out time series, via ODBC.)
