This would avoid the agent making REST calls to itself (that is, to the same WF server it is running in). Since the agent would be embedded in a full hawkular container, it could just put message on the bus rather than send REST messages. Only when the agent is running standalone or in another external WF should it send REST messages.

+1 . I know you didn't mean otherwise, but just to make it clear: tenant 
information (aka, persona ID) is would still be required, so that the 
agent knows to which account this data belongs to.

I guess it still is. But right now, it's not working :) So, a "minimal 
effort" is required to get it back into the working state.
