collectd-ceilometer-plugin
==========================

Collectd plugins for publishing to OpenStack (gnocchi and aodh).

This repositiory contains collectd plugins for publishing telemetry data
(metrics and events) gathered by collectd to gnocchi and aodh.
This allows a more comprehensive set of platform telemetry to be made available
to OpenStack which enables service assurance, fault management and  monitoring.
