It sure is, we as well abandoned the MongoDB backend for Gnocchi which works pretty well.

Would be a shame if a migration back would be required, maybe we can get a discussion going on a more
long-term solution as was discussed when talking about the future of Ceilometer.

Supporting Gnocchi or moving to another open source project as a storage backend that is stable and maintained.
There were (and still is? Though unofficial out-of-tree) storage backends for Ceilometer that publishes to InfluxDB.

I were never able to follow-up on the meetings (I probably missed a lot of it) regarding the Ceilometer roadmap [1].

Thanks for your work on ceilometer!

 

The gnocchi situation is realy sad.

We implemented solutions on Gnocchi and ceilometer.

In my opinion you abandoned the mongodb support for performance reasons and now you are going back to it?

Has mongodb made any significant performance improvements for time series data?

 

Best regards,

Betreff: Re: [gnocchi][telemetry][ceilometer][cloudkitty] Gnocchi unmaintained

 

We (ceilometer team) will probably add Ceilometer API and mongodb support back, considering the current Gnocchi project situation. However, Gnocchi will still be supported as a publisher in Ceilometer.

Hello Folks,

 

It looks like gnocchi is "officially" marked as unmaintained: https://github.com/gnocchixyz/gnocchi/issues/1049

 

Has there been any discussion regarding how it affects OpenStack projects? And/or are there any plans to amend this situation?
