Can we be a bit more precise here - we have a lot of feeds
that just feed into metrics, but completely ignore inventory.
The wf-agent does both. We have ptrans that only feeds into
metrics and you need to later know what you are looking for.

On the Ruby side we have support for inventory in the Gem,
which I have described here:

For the vert.x agent we have GSoC proposals to add inventory 
functionality.

For things like Fuse etc. I believe we always need inventory. Just
pumping metrics from left to right is not enough.
