The API doesn't make connections to an already provisioned droplet, and those are metrics that can only be viewed by software inside of the droplet. From an external view your VM is merely a qemu process using the allocated memory, and disk is a little different but still not accurately determined from the node side.
What you're looking for here is something like NewRelic that would allow you to make API calls to determine it based on software installed inside of the droplet.
I wish they offer something like solusvm client api offers.
Could always use Nagios with check by SSH or using NRPE -- this will allow you to monitor just about everything on your VPS.
SolusVM can only do it for OpenVZ, where them details can be easily retrieved.
Where Digital Ocean uses KVM only.
Nagios is great, just too complex for what I need, I need only RAM and Disk usage and maybe CPU
Wat about node query or nixstats?
For that all you really need is passwordless ssh keys, no? You could also just have a daily cron job that dumps a text file into a http directory.
or...or....so many quick options.
