<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>> I would like to realize moving swift_middleware.py from the ceilometer package to <br>> the ceilometerclient package. For me it is very difficult to convince users of <br>> installing the ceilometer package on Proxy Nodes for just using the swift middleware <br>> because of maintenance costs. Operators in users must check security patches for <br>> installed packages on Proxy Nodes even if these are not used on the nodes.<div><br></div><div>this idea sounds so familiar. i feel like i may have tried to move this in the past but gave up. i actually prefer having the middleware reside in ceilometerclient... it really doesn't make sense for the entire ceilometer package to be pulled in for just a middleware although i feel like that might require the oslo.messaging feature as well</div><div><br></div><div>could you create a spec[1] and we can maybe hash out idea there.</div><div><br></div><div>[1]<a href="https://github.com/openstack/ceilometer-specs" target="_blank" style="font-size: 12pt;">https://github.com/openstack/ceilometer-specs</a></div><div><br></div><div>cheers,</div><div><font face="Calibri"><i>gord</i></font><br><div><br></div></div> </div></body>
