If the hypervisor is Xen, then you can get information about CPU usage of Dom0 (usually what is meant by "the host") using: http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainGetInfo but that won't work for QEMU/KVM where "the host node" is just the Linux kernel. (In the local case, you can extract that information you need just by looking in /proc or using ordinary Linux tools).
