Feed configuration

Resources

To collect all meters, set the meterNames property to an asterisk (*). To collect only specified meters, provide their names in a comma-delimited list. For example:

<property name="meterNames" value="instance:m1.nano,disk.read.bytes,cpu_util"/>

The Ceilometer documentation has a list of available meters at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/measurements.html. You do not need to add any mappings to the outputs property of the feed configuration for meters you specify. The sample job contains a mapping that handles all resources.

NOTE: If OpenStack adds meters to Ceilometer that did not exist at the time Cloud Cruiser 3.1 was released, they are collected when you set meterNames to *. However, you must create corresponding resources in Cloud Cruiser to be able to load charges against these meters.

Identifiers

Each usage record collected has common elements that provide context about the usage. The sample collect job maps some of these as identifiers, but you can add others to suit your requirements. The following table shows all the available elements, including identifier names for those mapped by the sample job:
