gordon chung 7fe87e904f delete verbose/redundant/deprecated text 
the docs are a bit wordy in some places. our docs are confusing
enough:

- remove notification > polling in architecture page
- remove redundant Events filtering from event_types
- move shuffle/batch options to customisation page
- add http publisher
- remove db choices from architecture page, point to dbreco page
- remove db background referencing single database route
- remove warnings to say db might change, use api (obvious)
- remove stuff about Ceilometer is part Openstack but not tied to it
- move hbase configuration under common hbase section in install
- remove tox compatibility comments since it's > 2 years
- remove random non-devstack/historical text from devstack page
- remove default cinder/nova configurations from devstack page

Installing development sandbox

Ceilometer has several daemons. The basic are: polling agent running either on the Nova compute node(s) or polling agent running on the central management node(s), collector and notification agent running on the cloud's management node(s).

In a development environment created by devstack, these services are typically running on the same server.

Configuring devstack

double: installing; devstack

  1. Download devstack.

  2. Create a local.conf file as input to devstack.

  3. Ceilometer makes extensive use of the messaging bus, but has not yet been tested with ZeroMQ. We recommend using Rabbit for now. By default, RabbitMQ will be used by devstack.

  4. The ceilometer services are not enabled by default, so they must be enabled in local.conf before running stack.sh.

    This example local.conf file shows all of the settings required for ceilometer:

    [[local|localrc]]
# Enable the Ceilometer devstack plugin
enable_plugin ceilometer https://git.openstack.org/openstack/ceilometer.git

    By default, all ceilometer services except for ceilometer-ipmi agent will be enabled
