Besides implementing the metrics interface in more of the services systemd ships, we also are planning a number of other improvements in upcoming versions. For example, I plan to augment the metrics interface with a "facts" interface, that is structured similarly, but instead of retrieving time-series style data it retrieves "static" data about the system, that is worth reporting, such as identity, public key material and so on.

The systemd-report tool is then supposed to compile a unified report from those metrics and these facts, optionally combine with a TPM quote + TPM event log extraction, and output the whole thing as a single object that now contains everything one might want to know about a specific node at a given time: the cryptographically protected measurements, the current resource use and behavior, and all kinds of other facts, all in a completely pluggable, extensible, generic way, with very lose coupling
