Open Stack

Hello Gordon,

Thanks for your reply.

What we would like to have is access to the data available in Ceilometer
API but by local access. For instance, CPU metrics produced at a given
node will be consumed in that same node. Probably we will not need all
the available data we're yet finding which variables are of our
interest. To start with, CPU usage and memory usage are mandatory.

I believe that what we are searching is to access directly to compute
agent data. Is this possible, for example, subscribing to  the RabbitMQ
queue where the data is being published by the agent? Is there any other
way to do so?

Thanks for your support.

Best regards,
Alberto.
