Nadya, Julien,


We are working around profiling system based on logs. This will allows us
to detect bottlenecks.
We should make a couple of small patches in each project to support
profiling.

As we are going to be well integrated with OpenStack infrastructure we are
going to use Ceilometer as a log collector.
And we already made patch for this in Ceilometer:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/60262/
So it will be nice to get it reviewed/merged.


Thanks.


Best regards,
Boris Pavlovic
