Done, let's see.


Speaking about options: during the reviews of my pull requests we also
discussed the (semi?)recommended way to report more values without
adding new collectd types, which is something the collectd upstream
really tries to avoid.

So we could report the current values *and* the absolutes, making
everyone happy; but I'm afraid this will require a new plugin, like the
one I had in the working (https://github.com/fromanirh/collectd-ovirt)

TL;DR: in the worst case, we have one safe fallback option.
