What is Dough then compared to what you want to do ?

I see this blueprint for metering, but none for Dough currently.
http://wiki.openstack.org/EfficientMetering

Here are the Dough slides, however:
http://www.slideshare.net/lzyeval/dough-openstack-billing-project

We collectively need to talk more about the user scenarios, because I don't think you can just put a decorator around the API rpc calls and get an accurate picture of what to bill for later.  There are metered things like bandwidth or IOPS, events that happen outside of the API (shutdown -h), and it is hard to predict what a reseller will want to charge for.  It is better to put a metering system in that can handle many billing configurations.

Dough is the proposed billing platform/product (where the billing rules live), isn't it?

I don't know Dough enough, so please me correct me if i'm wrong.

I'm trying to define a generic/agnostic integration process, obviously where Dough
can fit perfectly. I would like it become part to the reference architecture.

Option 1) [3b in the arch proposed]

Dough should pull NoSQL

Option 2)

A Mediator can feed Dough

Hi,

I want to share the architecture i am developing in order to perform the monitorig / billing OpenStack support:

1. AMQP Client which listen to RabbitMQ / QPid (this should be interchangeable) (Own Stuff or ServiceMix / Camel)

2. Events should be stored on a NoSQL document oriented database (I think mongodb is perfect, since we can query in a super easy fashion)

3a. The monitoring system can pull/push MongoDB

3b. The billing system can pull to create invoices

4. A mediation EIP should be necessary to integrate a billing/monitoring product. (ServiceMix / Camel)

This is to receive your feedback. So please, critics are welcome!

Cheers!
