Well the code to generate diagnostics under xen is in nova/virt/xenapi/vm_utils.py:

887     def compile_diagnostics(cls, session, record):
 888         """Compile VM diagnostics data"""
 889         try:
 890             host = session.get_xenapi_host()
 891             host_ip = session.call_xenapi("host.get_record", host)["address"]
 892         except (cls.XenAPI.Failure, KeyError) as e:
 893             return {"Unable to retrieve diagnostics": e}
 894 
 895         try:
 896             diags = {}
 897             xml = get_rrd(host_ip, record["uuid"])
 898             if xml:
 899                 rrd = minidom.parseString(xml)
 900                 for i, node in enumerate(rrd.firstChild.childNodes):
 901                     # We don't want all of the extra garbage
 902                     if i >= 3 and i <= 11:
 903                         ref = node.childNodes
 904                         # Name and Value
 905                         if len(ref) > 6:
 906                             diags[ref[0].firstChild.data] = \
 907                                 ref[6].firstChild.data
 908             return diags
 909         except cls.XenAPI.Failure as e:
 910             return {"Unable to retrieve diagnostics": e}
 911 

Example RRD is here: http://community.citrix.com/display/xs/Using+XenServer+RRDs

Perhaps someone could paste the actual data from an install running xen so we can see what the extracted data looks like?

Then it is as easy as adding a call like the following to nova/virt/libvirt/connection.py:

def get_diagnostics(self, instance_name):
  # look up the domain by instance name
  virt_dom = self._lookup_by_name(instance_name)
  # get info from the domain using libvirt calls
  # map the data into the proper dictionary format
  # return the data
  return diag
