In one of our Orocos deployments, we had a supervisor component
periodically invoking diagnostic functions on each running component.
Each component had the diagnostic function coded within itself, but it
ran in the thread of the calling (supervisor) component. The diagnostic
functions reported a health status, which the supervisor used for
setting any systematic degradation modes and/or re-routing
inter-component connections to achieve a new system configuration.

The supervisor component was different from the reporting component. The
latter was used only to collect data and dump it out to a network socket.

Hope this helps,
