Re: [Openstack] Memory meters from ceilometer

Hi Jobin, As explained earlier, the existing memory and disk.* meters are not measures of utilization in the classic sense (i.e. the % of an existing limited resource currently used and available). If you simply want to know the quantum of memory allocated to the instance by the hypervisor, then

Re: [Openstack] Memory meters from ceilometer

Thanks Eoghan for your detailed response regarding the current scenario and progress related to this project. Had been investigating about this for while since they had been documented here in the official ceilometer measurements page

Re: [Openstack] Memory meters from ceilometer

Hi Jobin, The memory utilization metering will require a new release of libvirt which will not be available for another few weeks. After that, it will depend on there being developer bandwidth available to put the ceilometer support in place for a new meter type. We have no current plans that I'

Re: [Openstack] Memory meters from ceilometer

Thanks a lot Eoghan for your detailed response. I have enabled instance usage auditing in my nova.conf . Is there anyway I could get these meters(memory and disk utilization) for VM's provisioned using OpenStack? Thanks for your efforts. On Thu, Jul 18, 2013

Re: [Openstack] Memory meters from ceilometer

Hey Jobin, Thanks for your perceptive question. The reason is that the conduits for gathering CPU metering and memory metering are quite different in ceilometer currently: * cpu/cpu_util are derived by polling the libvirt daemon * memory is derived from the "compute.instance.exists" notificati

[Openstack] Memory meters from ceilometer

Hey! I am running openstack on an Ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64-bit virtual machine. I am trying to use ceilometer to get the CPU and memory utilization from my compute node on a KVM host which has a few VM's running on it. However, this is the list of meters I get from ceilometer: cpu, cpu_util, di
