As far as I know, these metrics are loaded from the processed data types by CloudKitty. Therefore, it is not fixed in CloudKitty dashboard or CloudKitty itself. The "network.incoming.bytes.rate" is probably an altname used to represent the use of the "rate:xxx" aggregation method in the Gnocchi backend to calculate the rate of change of a metric. Therefore, it has nothing to do with the metric itself collected by Ceilometer. For instance, you can check the archive-policy used for the metric in question.

Folks,

I am trying to configure rating for network data bytes in/out but what I have seen is that the ceilometer uses a different name than what cloudkitty GUI drop down-menu has.

Ceilometer using "network.outgoing.bytes" and "network.incoming.bytes"

Cloudkitty GUI drop-down list has "network.outgoing.bytes.rate" & "network.incoming.bytes.rate"

I have tried to change it in cloudkitty metrics.yml file to match it with the ceilometer but the rating is not calculating until I change that in cloudkitty.

Please advise how to change it in cloudkitty.
