+Gnocchi represents a fundamental change in how data is represented and stored.
+Installation and configuration can be found in :ref:`installing_manually`.
+Differences between APIs can be found here_.
+
+There currently exists no migration tool between the services. To transition
+to Gnocchi, multiple dispatchers can be enabled in the Collector to capture
+data in both the native Ceilometer database and Gnocchi. This will allow you
+to test Gnocchi and transition to it fully when comfortable. The following
