Yes, it has been designed for (at least we hope). You can send any
metrics and change the source field of these metrics (which value is
'openstack' by default) to whatever over system you want to meters.

How to send these metrics? Well, for a start you can use the program
`ceilometer-send-counter' that sends a counter over the bus.

Otherwise you can grab the publishing method from our Python code. :)
