<span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">However, a System has more than just meter-based threshold alarms. E.g. a Compute Node Failure, a physical interface failure, etc. .<br>
Is there a “GENERAL” RPC Bus for Alarm Notification Events in OpenStack ?<br>
Is it the one used by Ceilometer ?<br>
Is the intent that Ceilometer is also collecting “ALL” Alarms, storing them in DB, and supporting ‘publishers’ for Alarms (e.g. an SNMP Trap publisher ) ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
