Though, this is probably a good time to talk requirements, and to start 
thinking about whether this is an lbaas issue, or an advanced services (*aaS) 
issue, so we can have some useful discussions at the summit, and not solve this 
scaling metrics problem 8 different ways.

It's probably worth pointing out that most of the Neutron LBaaS team are 
spending most of our time doing a major revision to Neutron LBaaS. How stats 
processing should happen has definitely been discussed but not resolved at 
present-- and in any case it was apparent to those working on the project that 
it has secondary importance compared to the revision work presently underway.

I personally would like to have queries about most objects in the stats API to 
Neutron LBaaS return a dictionary or statuses for child objects which then a UI 
or auto-scaling system can interpret however it wishes. Your points are 
certainly well made, and I agree that it might also be useful to inject status 
information externally, or have some kind of hook there to get event 
notifications when individual member statuses change. But this is really a 
discussion that needs to happen once the current code drive is near fruition 
(ie. for Kilo).

Great question, and to my knowledge, not at present.  There is an ongoing

Thanks for the prompt response.  Let me just grasp at one last straw: is there 
any chance that Neutron will soon define and implement Ceilometer metrics that 
reveal PoolMember health?

Thanks,
Mike
