I thought that it would be better to implement another seperated project rather than inside of Nova.

Hi Doug,

Thank you for your corrections, Doug. 

Synaps can collect any metric if its value can be represented in double type just like AWS CloudWatch can. 

- Currently we have Synaps agent so called VMMON that gets following metrics, CPUUtilization, DiskReadOps, DiskWriteOps, DiskReadBytes, DiskWriteBytes, NetworkIn and NetworkOut from hypervisors and send them to Synaps.
- If you have cloud service such as LBaaS or DBaaS, you can provide their metrics to your users easily by implementing an agent using Synaps API.
- Users can also put their own custom metrics from in-instance.

Thank you,
June Yi
