Then it sounds more like we'd want to have some kind of plugin or component inside Hawkular-Metrics itself so H-Metrics can just pull metrics in using the Prometheus protocol (in addition to getting metrics pushed into it via its REST API). This could be an optional component to Hawkular-Metrics for those that don't need or want it. But it sounds like this is just another protocol to insert data into H-Metrics.
