you might check out SWORD.  it's a wide-area resource locator running on
planetlab (http://www.swordrd.org/).  you can create custom queries on
real-time data based on dozens of system metrics (e.g. CPU, memory,
disk, network, load, etc).  application developers can customized the
query to match their application requirements.

   They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little 
      temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
