venkatamahesh 0196e7f51e [user-guide] Add an empty line between input and output
In this patch
1.) Add a new line between input and output of "code-block"s
2.) Combined the input and output into one "code-block"
3.) Delete extra lines in the files

Measure cloud resources
=======================
Telemetry measures cloud resources in OpenStack. It collects data
related to billing. Currently, this metering service is available
through only the :command:`ceilometer` command-line client.
To model data, Telemetry uses the following abstractions:
Meter
Measures a specific aspect of resource usage,
such as the existence of a running instance, or
ongoing performance, such as the CPU utilization
for an instance. Meters exist for each type of
resource. For example, a separate ``cpu_util``
meter exists for each instance. The life cycle
of a meter is decoupled from the existence of
its related resource. The meter persists after
the resource goes away.
A meter has the following attributes:
* String name
* A unit of measurement
* A type, which indicates whether values increase
monotonically (cumulative), are interpreted as
a change from the previous value (delta), or are
stand-alone and relate only to the current duration (gauge)
Sample
An individual data point that is associated with a specific meter.
A sample has the same attributes as the associated meter, with
the addition of time stamp and value attributes. The value attribute
is also known as the sample ``volume``.
Statistic
A set of data point aggregates over a time duration. (In contrast,
a sample represents a single data point.) The Telemetry service
employs the following aggregation functions:
* **count**. The number of samples in each period.
* **max**. The maximum number of sample volumes in each period.
* **min**. The minimum number of sample volumes in each period.
* **avg**. The average of sample volumes over each period.
* **sum**. The sum of sample volumes over each period.
Alarm
A set of rules that define a monitor and a current state, with
edge-triggered actions associated with target states.
Alarms provide user-oriented Monitoring-as-a-Service and a
general purpose utility for OpenStack. Orchestration auto
scaling is a typical use case. Alarms follow a tristate
model of ``ok``, ``alarm``, and ``insufficient data``.
For conventional threshold-oriented alarms, a static
threshold value and comparison operator govern state transitions.
The comparison operator compares a selected meter statistic against
an evaluation window of configurable length into the recent past.
This example uses the :command:`heat` client to create an auto-scaling
stack and the :command:`ceilometer` client to measure resources.
#. Create an auto-scaling stack by running the following command.
The :option:`-f` option specifies the name of the stack template
file, and the :option:`-P` option specifies the ``KeyName``
parameter as ``heat_key``:
.. code-block:: console
$ heat stack-create -f cfn/F17/AutoScalingCeilometer.yaml -P "KeyName=heat_key"
#. List the heat resources that were created:
.. code-block:: console
$ heat resource-list
