The :mod:`ceilometerclient` Python API
======================================
.. module:: ceilometerclient
:synopsis: A client for the OpenStack Ceilometer API.
.. currentmodule:: ceilometerclient
Usage
-----
First create a client instance with your credentials::
>>> import ceilometerclient.client
>>> cclient = ceilometerclient.client.get_client(VERSION, os_username=USERNAME, os_password=PASSWORD, os_tenant_name=PROJECT_NAME, os_auth_url=AUTH_URL)
Here ``VERSION`` should be: ``2``.
Then call methods on its managers::
>>> cclient.meters.list()

V2 client tips
++++++++++++++
Use queries to narrow your search (more info at `Ceilometer V2 API reference`__)::
>>> query = [dict(field='resource_id', op='eq', value='5a301761-f78b-46e2-8900-8b4f6fe6675a'), dict(field='meter',op='eq',value='cpu_util')]
>>> cclient.new_samples.list(q=query, limit=10)
[<Sample ...>, ...]
