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:
- add option to disable metering apis when gnocchi is enabled or create wsgi pipeline.
- 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.

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
- batching support for recording of event and meter data
- 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
