Hi Julien grouping statistics by resource_id would not help, I have the same problem even if I ask statistics for a single resource_id, what I need to do is bill customers on the number of instances, therefore I need to know how many instances existed during a certain period of time, I can count the number of instances per minute counting the samples (via ceilometer statistics) but I will always get a wrong count since ceilometer collects one sample per minute via the pollster plus the notification samples. Any suggestions on an alternative way of doing it?

IIUC, grouping statistics by resource_id would solve your problem, and we're working on that for Havana. -- Julien Danjou -- Free Software hacker - freelance consultant -- http://julien.danjou.info _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
