Dear stackers, please enlight me on something regarding Ceilometer/Healthnmon.
So far as I've read and setup, Ceilometer is intended to get metrics for billing usage in larger interval polls. But so far, I've not seen reports of Memory Utilization, Disk Space Utilization or other System Utilization metrics. They're mostly "Memory Allocated", "Number of vCPUs", and etc. And checking out the Healthnmon projects, I can see that at the very-low level, the mechanism is pretty similiar. I even spotted the following: "(...)But in another usage scenario, what if the users want to get the relationship between different measurements? i.e. get all the available measurements related to a specific VM instance, e.g. CPU usage, disk IO usage, network information, storage volumes, …. In Ceilometer it would require extra post-processing of the 'resource_metadata' to find all the measurements. While in Healthnmon, the relationship is already in the data model so it's much easier. The difference between the two data model may comes from that Ceilometer is originally designed for metering, and Healthnmon is designed for monitoring(...)" https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ceilometer/CeilometerAndHealthnmon So, long story short, is technically possible for me to create metrics to make the API show up system_usage_metrics instead of simply system_allocated_metrics ? (I guess I misunderstood, right?) Could you please enlight the path for me ? I'm not sure if I got it right... I have seen the blueprints of the projects possibly unifying on Havanna release. But I'm looking for something I can do (for usage metrics) right now (Grizzly).
