to play devil's advocate, the reason i lean more to using 'metric' is that it's arguably more widely used (see: documentation for most tsdb, measurements data, CADF, etc...). if we were ever to make a change, Gnocchi would be a good place. that said, if everyone is acclimated to 'meters' we might as well just keep it. i cut this out original email and forgot to add it back in but can you create a bug in openstack-manual to track this as well. cheers, gord From: tim.b...@cern.ch To: openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2015 18:43:46 +0000 Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Ceilometer] Meters vs. Metrics Can we keep it consistent ? The APIs have meter in them, so do the CLIs so we should really stick to that convention. If Gnocchi is using metrics, I feel it should change to use meters or a V3 API proposed that changes it all. Projects and Tenants still cause such massive confusion for the end user, let’s not do it again. Saying they are equivalent does not stop the confusion and support effort when people say that the form allows them to create a project but they want a tenant.
