We’ve been using gnocchi in mitaka for a few months now but we’ve run into some issues with performance, predominantly because of the number of data points sent along rabbitmq.</div>

I’ve also seen emails about potentially updating/backporting the dispatcher code while using a gnocchi 2.1 installation. Is this a safe method? I’m guessing by upgrading the dispatching code, I can resolve the problem of having to publish our stuff to rabbit.</div>

<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">>yes, you can use gnocchi v2 with mitaka. you should have </div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">>gnocchiclient<3.0.0 for it to work.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">>truthfully, you should try to backport the dispatcher code from a newer </div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">>version as the newer gnocchi releases are still compatible with older </div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">>ceilometer versions (it just has different integration code). i'm not </div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">>sure gnocchi v2 is performant and you'll avoid the upgrade between </div>

<div>I’m trying to resolve a backlog issue we’re having because we leverage gnocchi and metricd for canary instances as elastic scaling of nodes.</div>
