that is probably what groundwork ganglia component does :

you can get all the information you need for your triggers passively as well
by polling the rrds, looping through gstat or getting the cluster view from
gmetad.

and I know some propietary correlation engine that is doing exactly that to
add automated trend analysis and notifications, but I can't seem to be able to
find their bussiness card or remember their name, except that the product name
for their yet unreleased version was called "oxygene".

if there is the need for an active notification channel then we should build
one, but IMHO the definition of what actions to take, or what is relevant
should be done by something else than gmetad.
