The Xen-API work is really about management of Dom0 and DomU VMs as opaque
entities viewed from Dom0. Collecting OS specific details about work going on 
inside the DomU (eg processes running, detailed breakdown of CPU & memory
usage) is best handled by a dedicated monitoring API. It has very different
requirements of that of Xen-API, in particular from a performance / overhead
POV. There are a wide variety of existing OS monitoring tools which can be
deployed inside DomUs, Big-Sister, Nagios, Ganglia, to name but three such
tools.
