Yeah, and that's cool. :)

Today, Ceilometer is in charge of the polling + notification listening,
and feeds that into the system you want, in our case, Gnocchi.

It seems you have only one project for all of that, where we have built
2 projects that can be reused in different context, but coupled do the
same thing (and probably more) than what Almanach does.

I swiftly encourage you to take a look at what Ceilometer+Gnocchi can
do, as it may be a good surprise for you. And if it does not cover your
use case(s), it'd be very interesting to us to know where it fails.

Cheers,
