Yeah, that tree with cluster->cache makes sense.
If the list of nodes is relatively static, it makes sense too to expose 
them as child resources.
If they are relatively dynamic, it will be better to have them just 
exposed as count metric and
then have operations on cache level to obtain the list of nodes and 
perhaps some code to
manipulate them.

That is something Jopr takes care of. Bascially when you install the agent,
you pass some properties for the server(s) location. There is multicast
support for this too.

This does not directly cater for agents on changing IP addresses, but 
this is
a Jopr internal issue and does not change at all the way plugins are 
written.

One thing we may need to take care of (but then, it may be no issue at 
all) is to not
discover a cache or cluster from different agents. But then if it an 
issue we need to
take care of that in Jopr (imho).
