Priority Work Items
The following are high priority items targeted for the current cycle that require owners:
Open Work Items
The following is a list of work items that have been approved conceptually and can be targeted for the current development cycle. For more information on a item, contact us on openstack-dev mailing list or on freenode at #openstack-telemetry. The current list of core contributors can be found at each projects respective page:
- https://launchpad.net/~aodh-drivers/+members#active
- https://launchpad.net/~ceilometer-drivers/+members#active
- https://launchpad.net/~gnocchi-drivers/+members#active
Aodh (alarming)
- in-tree functional tests
- event alarm multiple workers
- use oslo.messaging batch notification listener
Ceilometer (data collection)
- add elasticsearch functional gate
- Polling schema - separate polling logic from pipeline
- new polling definition file https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/mitaka-telemetry-polling
- refine polling
- global caching between pollsters (https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/mitaka-telemetry-polling)
- Cache everything everywhere, all the time
- add to sql driver
- rally tests
Gnocchi (metric storage)
- indexer sharding support
- dynamic resource creation
- benchmark
- migrate tempest plugin
Future Targets
These ideas have been discussed/introduced at a high-level. They are areas of interests for the users/developers of Ceilometer but still require discussion. Proposals for concrete work items related to these items are welcomed for future cycles:
- log processing
- application level monitoring
- project defined meters - leveraging declarative meters
- group based configuration control - connect tooz to manage configuration and allow for better control of configuration updates.
- Nova
- the end of nova polling (http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-June/067589.html)
- nova cell metrics
- nova availability zone metrics
- project level pipeline control. enable ability to poll at different frequencies per project.
- granular ttl control (project level / meter level)
- CADF event indexer - generic definition to index all CADF events
- stop using WSME in ceilometer and aodh
- Release to PyPI
- Use specific configuration to load selected stevedore extensions, not all of them
- remove stevedore plugins out of tree
- Add more complete evaluation of the upgrade process in the grenade plugin.
- Notification and pollster driven functional/integration tests.
