I guess this now depends on the definition of "individually".
If a resource has e.g. 20 metrics, I would like to be able to
retrieve them all in one batch and not call the domain controller
20 times.
RHQ will much more often query metrics (runtime values) than
configuration values.
I am also not sure how much sense it makes to pile up a request for the
metrics individually to be returned in one go

Request.getResource(xyz).getMetric("a"
   .getMetric("b")
   ....
   .getMetirc("x")

This is good when someone only wants one or two metrics, but not for 20 of them.
Here some
    Request.getResource(xyz).getMetrics();
call would be probably better.
