Why we have a monitoring interval at all? why not move the stats to events? Vdsm should collect stats and send updates to engine, engine can do only polling only if vdsm did not send any update in the last couple of minutes or so. Same for stats collected by collectd, we want to stream updates to engine from the host, no poll every host for the stats.
