Traditional monitoring tools (Nagios, Zabbix, ....) are necessary
anyway for infrastructure monitoring (CPU, RAM, disks, operating system,
RabbitMQ, databases and more) and diagnostic purposes. Adding OpenStack
service checks is fairly easy if you already have the toolchain.<br>-
OpenStack projects like Rally or Tempest can generate synthetic loads
and run end-to-end tests. Integrating them with a monitoring system
isn't terribly difficult either.<br></div></div><br>As far as Monitoring-as-a-service is concerned, do you have plans to integrate/leverage Ceilometer?<br><br></div>BR,<br></div>Simon</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 7:20 PM, Vinod Pandarinathan (vpandari) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vpandari@cisco.com" target="_blank">vpandari@cisco.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
