i think the right solution here is using "3rd party software" focusing 
on something like that, based on the data collected by ovirt engine and 
the dwh.
one such application would be CloudForms.
we're in the process or removing all the roadblocks to open sourcing it,
and expect to have an open source version of CloudForms in a few months.
CloudForms of course integrates with oVirt/RHEV (and many other platforms).
