Because that's simply not the case. Gnocchi is a general purpose time series middleware, and it's not even maintained in the OpenStack namespace. Though I do understand your point of view, if you don't know anything about OpenStack, Ceph, Zookeeper, etc. Truth is, Gnocchi should be working better if setup with at least keystone for auth (though Keystone is probably the most easy component of OpenStack to setup). > Attempts to use it in other ways fail I don't agree. You just happened to fail using it, but that doesn't mean it can't be used. > the upstream documentation is no good, > and there isn't Debian specific documentation for it. Though there's puppet-module-gnocchi that you could use, and which I package in Debian, if you're a puppet person. This definitively helps. At least by just reading what it does.
