</span>Balloon and ksm stats are sent today from mom to vdsm, and reported by<br>
vdsm to engine?<br>
<br>
If vdsm is only a middleman and does not use this info, best to send<br>
it directly<br>
to engine via the stomp broker part of vdsm.<br>
<br>

</span>They should be fixed here:<br>
<a href="https://gerrit.ovirt.org/57942" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gerrit.ovirt.org/57942</a><br>
<br>
But suffering from these issue show that the api was not use properly,<br>
you should create one client and reuse it for the entire life of the<br>
application.<br>
