<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>There is a blueprint about providing extended query filtering functionality in Ceilometer API, like the reverse timestamp ordering: <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceilometer/+spec/complex-filter-expressions-in-api-queries">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceilometer/+spec/complex-filter-expressions-in-api-queries</a>. It is targeted for Icehouse.<br>
<br></div>Best Regards,<br></div>Ildiko<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/12/7 Eoghan Glynn <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eglynn@redhat.com" target="_blank">eglynn@redhat.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
The timestamp on the first instance sample recorded by the ceilometer<br>
with give you that.<br>
<br>
A brute-force way of retrieving it:<br>
<br>
  ceilometer sample-list -m instance -q "resource_id=$INSTANCE_ID" | grep instance | tail -1 | awk '{printf("%s created at %s\n", $2, $(NF-1))}'<br>
<br>
(it would be better if a reverse-timestampt ordering could be specified<br>
via the CLI, in which case we could just limit to result set to 1).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
