Found this note in the quantum notification code, think it is worth being in the release notes. Change-Id: I6e30d47e1f50fb0f7fda6e0923d5836a2b133110

Ceilometer v0.1 (Folsom) Release Notes
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
This is the first release of ceilometer. Please take all appropriate caution
|
|
in using it, as it is a technology preview at this time.
|
|
|
|
It is curently tested to work with OpenStack 2012.2 Folsom. Due to its use of
|
|
openstack-common, and the modification that were made in term of notification
|
|
to many other components (glance, cinder, quantum), it will not easily work
|
|
with any prior version of OpenStack.
|
|
|
|
Currently covered components are: Nova, Nova-network, Glance, Cinder and
|
|
Quantum. Notably, there is no support yet for Swift and it was decided not
|
|
to support nova-volume in favor of Cinder. A detailed list of meters covered
|
|
per component can be found at:

|
|
|
|
Quantum delete notifications do not include the same metadata as the other
|
|
messages, so we ignore them for now. This isn't ideal, since it may mean we
|
|
miss charging for some amount of time, but it is better than throwing away the
|
|
existing metadata for a resource when it is deleted.
|
|
|
|
The only tested and complete database backend is currently MongoDB, the
|
|
SQLAlchemy one is still work in progress.
|
|
|
|
The current best source of information on how to deploy this project is found
|
|
as the devstack implementation but feel free to come to #openstack-metering on
|
|
freenode for more info.
|
|
|
|
Please note that metering can generate lots of data very quickly. Have a look
|
|
at the following spreadsheet to evaluate what you will end up with.
