Configuration Options

Ceilometer specific

The following table lists the ceilometer specific options in the global configuration file. Please note that ceilometer uses openstack-common extensively, which requires that the other parameters are set appropriately. For information we are listing the configuration elements that we use after the ceilometer specific elements.

If you use sql alchemy, its specific paramaters will need to be set.

Parameter Default Note
nova_control_exchange nova Exchange name for Nova notifications
glance_control_exchange glance_notifications Exchange name for Glance notifications
cinder_control_exchange cinder Exchange name for Cinder notifications
quantum_control_exchange quantum Exchange name for Quantum notifications
metering_secret change this or be hacked Secret value for signing metering messages
metering_topic metering the topic ceilometer uses for metering messages
counter_source openstack The source name of emited counters
control_exchange ceilometer AMQP exchange to connect to if using RabbitMQ or Qpid
periodic_interval 600 seconds between running periodic tasks
os-username ceilometer Username to use for openstack service access
