Hey there, I am looking for some feedback on 2x enhancement / blueprint proposals for the ‘file’ publisher in ceilometer. i.e. https://github.com/openstack/ceilometer/blob/master/ceilometer/publisher/file.py Are the Ceilometer owners open to looking at blueprints for the following ? 1. Compression of files (within file rotation) to minimize disk usage and minimize bandwidth in FTP-ing these files off server o i.e. as part of file rotation, the newly rotated file would be gzip’d to compress the file o this would be an optional parameter in the pipeline definition in /etc/ceilometer/pipeline.yaml e.g. name: meter_file meters: - "*" publishers: - file:///var/test?max_bytes=10000000&backup_count=5&compress=true o again, minimizing disk usage and minimizing network bandwidth in FTP-ing these files off server. 2. CSV (Comma Separated Values) File Format o CSV is widely supported for many off-box Statistical Analysis-type Tools; especially in Telecom, o again this would be done as an optional argument to the file publisher § the existing format (python dictionary print) would remain as the default format § ‘format=csv’ would be the argument added to the publisher line in order to enable CSV format e.g. name: meter_file meters: - "*" publishers: - file:///var/test?max_bytes=10000000&backup_count=5&format=csv let me know your feedback, I think these would be valuable addons to the Ceilometer File Publisher, Greg. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
