> Problem to solve: Ceilometer's purpose is to track and *measure/meter* usage
> information collected from OpenStack components (originally for billing). While
> Ceilometer is usefull for the cloud operators and infrastructure metering, it is
> not a *monitoring* solution for the tenants and their services/applications
> running in the cloud because it does not allow for service/application-level
> monitoring and it ignores detailed and precise guest system metrics.
> 
> Proposed solution: We would like to add Monitoring as a Service to Openstack
> 
> Just like Rackspace's Cloud monitoring, the new monitoring service - lets call it
> OpenStackMonitor for now -  would let users/tenants keep track of their
> ressources on the cloud and receive instant notifications when they require
> attention.

> This RESTful API would enable users to create multiple monitors with
> predefined checks, such as PING, CPU usage, HTTPS and SMTP or custom
> checks performed by a Monitoring Agent on the instance they want to monitor.
> 
> Predefined checks such as CPU and disk usage could be polled from Ceilometer.
> Other predefined checks would be performed by the new monitoring service
> itself. Checks such as PING could be flagged to be performed from multiple
> sites.
> 
> Custom checks would be performed by an optional Monitoring Agent. Their
> results would be polled by the monitoring service and stored in Ceilometer.
