Our group would like to have resource_metadata available on the Meter object (currently it's not there). The reason is so we may supply additional customized attributes associated with a Meter. Examples include other timestamp values, a project owner, and processing status. Currently, to get these values we would need to request a Sample for the Meter. This is problematic because we often want to get Meter lists associated with certain customized attributes, such as the project owner. Changing the Meter spec (http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/webapi/v2.html#Meter) to include resource_metadata would not require others to use the new field. Clients could ignore it as they do for Samples. It wouldn't necessarily require any code changes if we documented the field as not implemented. The only change it would require is to the Meter table schema, so that if someone were to supply the field it could be stored. Here is the wishlist item along with discussion. Any comments appreciated. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ceilometer/+bug/1194593 Thank you, Eric Pendergrass -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
