The energy monitoring MIB proposals look like they might provide the required metrics. It is worth waiting to see the outcome of the March IETF meeting to see how they plan to proceed. Ideally the sFlow energy structure will be a simple XDR encoding of a standard set of values from an energy MIB. Keeping sFlow counters consistent with SNMP counters ensures the maximum interoperability, making life easier for agent writers and sFlow/SNMP management software.
