Measurements
|
||
==============
|
||
|
||
Three type of meters are defined in ceilometer:
|
||
|
||
.. index::
|
||
double: meter; cumulative
|
||
double: meter; gauge
|
||
double: meter; delta
|
||
|
||
========== ==============================================================================
|
||
Type Definition
|
||
========== ==============================================================================
|
||
Cumulative Increasing over time (instance hours)
|
||
Gauge Discrete items (floating IPs, image uploads) and fluctuating values (disk I/O)
|
||
Delta Changing over time (bandwidth)
|
||
========== ==============================================================================
|
||
|
||
Units
|
||
=====
|
||
|
||
1. Whenever a volume is to be measured, SI approved units and their
|
||
approved symbols or abbreviations should be used. Information units
|
||
should be expressed in bits ('b') or bytes ('B').
|
||
2. For a given meter, the units should NEVER, EVER be changed.
|
||
3. When the measurement does not represent a volume, the unit
|
||
description should always described WHAT is measured (ie: apples,
|
||
disk, routers, floating IPs, etc.).
|
||
4. When creating a new meter, if another meter exists measuring
|
||
something similar, the same units and precision should be used.
|
||
5. Meters and samples should always document their units in Ceilometer (API
|
||
and Documentation) and new sampling code should not be merged without the
|
||
appropriate documentation.

At present, most of the Nova meters will only work with libvirt front-end
|
||
hypervisors while test coverage was mostly done based on KVM. Contributors
|
||
are welcome to implement other virtualization backends’ meters or complete
|
||
the existing ones.

In order to use storage.objects.incoming.bytes and storage.outgoing.bytes, one must configure
|
||
Swift as described in :ref:`installing_manually`. Note that they may not be
|
||
updated right after an upload/download, since Swift takes some time to update
|
||
the container properties.

Dynamically retrieving the Meters via ceilometer client
|
||
=======================================================
|
||
|
||
To retrieve the available meters that can be queried given the actual
|
||
resource instances available, use the ``meter-list`` command:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
$ ceilometer meter-list -s openstack
|
||
+------------+-------+--------------------------------------+---------+----------------------------------+
|
||
| Name | Type | Resource ID | User ID | Project ID |
|
||
+------------+-------+--------------------------------------+---------+----------------------------------+

|
||
|
||
|
||
Naming convention
|
||
=================
|
||
If you plan on adding meters, please follow the convention bellow:
|
||
|
||
1. Always use '.' as separator and go from least to most discriminent word.
|
||
For example, do not use ephemeral_disk_size but disk.ephemeral.size
|
||
|
||
2. When a part of the name is a variable, it should always be at the end and start with a ':'.
|
||
For example do not use <type>.image but image:<type>, where type is your variable name.
|
||
|
||
3. If you have any hesitation, come and ask in #openstack-metering
|
||
|
||
|
||
User-defined sample metadata (nova only)
|
||
=========================================
|
||
|
||
Users are allowed to add additional metadata to samples of nova meter.
|
||
These additional metadata are stored in 'resource_metadata.user_metadata.*' of the sample
|
||
To do so, users should add nova user metadata prefixed with 'metering.':
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
$ nova boot --meta metering.custom_metadata=a_value my_vm
|
||
|
||
Note: The name of the metadata shouldn't exceed 256 characters otherwise it will be cut off.
|
||
Also, if it has '.', this will be replaced by a '_' in ceilometer.
