OpenStack Telemetry (Ceilometer)
Project Mission
To reliably collect measurements of the utilization of the physical and virtual resources comprising deployed clouds, persist these data for subsequent retrieval and analysis, and trigger actions when defined criteria are met.
Road Map
Current (Liberty) Cycle Targets: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceilometer/liberty
Priority Work Items
The following are high priority items targeted for the current cycle that require owners:
- document operator changes from alarm in Ceilometer to alarm in Aodh
- to be followed by email to operators list
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-ceilometer. The current list of core contributors are: https://launchpad.net/~ceilometer-drivers/+members#active

- benchmark
- Alarms (Aodh)
- Devstack gate
- some plugin stuff mehdi is suppose to do
- in-tree functional tests
- split unit/functional tests
- add mysql/postgres functional gate

- Code Refactoring
- Split - split polling (M* cycle) https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ceilometer-collection-split
- Removal - remove deprecated alarm code (M* cycle) https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/aodh-future
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
- the end of nova polling (http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-June/067589.html)
