collectd-openstack-plugins

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.
