Ceilometer/blueprints/graphite-publisher

Context

We want to monitor resource usage for all the VMS group by tenants. We do not want to write our own plugin for monitoring, but use ceilometer.

Problem

Performance issues on saving records to sql and on query.

Solution

To create a new graphite publisher, so that ceilometer-compute agent can directly send the metrics to graphite.

Working Sample. The metrics are send to graphite as: ceilometer.project_id.resource_id.metric
