Hi Greg, The alarming feature of ceilometer is intended to be user-oriented, i.e. focused on the user-view of cloud resources.
It is not intended to be infrastructure-oriented, i.e. focused on the operator-view of the underpinning datacenter fabric. So if understand your question correctly, the answer I thing is no, we are not addressing the ‘general’ cases you had in mind.
