The advantage of monitoring via REST-API is that you don't need an
agent/script installed on the host/node. Especially for oVirt node I
think this is a huge advantage (haven't looked into 3rd party plugin
support yet).

The downside of it is that if REST-API isn't available (e.g. due to
engine maintenance jobs) you can't monitor your environment...

Especially for Nagios both options are valid - gathering data from
REST-API or directly from the host. Other monitoring solutions may
require an agent (or maybe snmp) on the host if data aren't available
via REST-API...
