Hi Gordon, please, let me to understand better....
I am collecting only  instance metrics:
 I need to remove data about instances that ah been removed.
I could do that with:
gnocchi resource list --type instance -c id -f value
 if the instance has been delete I could:

gnocchi resource delete instance id


Does the above procedure remove data either from database or
/var/lib/gnocchi directory ?


Any suggestion ?

Thanks and Regards
Ignazio
