<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div><br/>
I’ve been trying to move my openstack setup from ocata to pike release (I know, it’s almost queens!) and I’ve encountered a problem not really described in the upgrade documentation.</div>
<div><br/>
Prior to pike, ceilometer telemetry service was storing the telemetry data on it’s own. Starting from pike, there’s another storage component for that, called gnocchi.</div>
<div>I reconfigured the setup accordingly, to use gnocchi as a storage, but the problem is: ceilometer has multiple types of metrics while gnocchi doesn’t have metric types at all.</div>
<div>And it doesn’t really make sense to store metrics of cumulative type (like compute.node.cpu.kernel.time, switch.port.receive.bytes, energy) and of gauge type (like vcpus, volume.size, image.size) in one place.</div>
<div><br/>
Have any of you faced this problem? If yes, what are the workarounds that you’ve found sufficient?</div>
<div>I’ve been thinking about different ways to handle this problem, like converting data before it gets written to gnocchi, but I believe there should be a better solution!</div>
<div><br/>
Thank you</div>
