I have been under the impression that a metric associates a name and
a resource. For example, all resources of type <i>instance</i><u><i>
</i></u>have a <i>cpu </i>metric. Perhaps I am wrong. Who can
explain it to me or, better, point me to an explanation? <br>
<br>
I want to create time series of temperatures in various places.
There are already three resources of type generic named tokyo, osaka
and frankfurt. <br>
<br>
Next step, each resource needs a metric named <i>heat</i>. So I
try:<br>
<tt>gnocchi metric create --resource-id tokyo --archive-policy
medium --unit celsius heat</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>gnocchi metric create --resource-id osaka --archive-policy
medium --unit celsius heat</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>gnocchi metric create --resource-id frankfurt
--archive-policy medium --unit celsius heat</tt><br>
<br>
The first command succeeds. The two others don't: <br>
<tt>Named metric heat already exists (HTTP 409)</tt><br>
<br>
Checking:<br>
<tt>gnocchi metric show --resource-id frankfurt heat</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Metric heat does not exist (HTTP 404)</tt><tt><br>
<br>
</tt>I also tried <br>
<br>
<tt>gnocchi metric create 37e04566-bcfe-52b6-81e3-371bdf71c813/heat</tt>
<br>
<br>
but that creates a metric named <i>37e04566-bcfe-52b6-81e3-371bdf71c813/heat</i>
which is not associated with resource <i>37e04566-bcfe-52b6-81e3-371bdf71c813</i>.<tt><br>
</tt><br>
<b>What can I do to associate all three resources with metric </b><b><i>heat</i></b><b>?</b><br>
