we actually looked at this problem here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/235702/

i think we should add support of new attribute instead.

Hi devs,
I found a problem which may cause infinite update of instance's attributes in gnocchi.
Let's see the resource definition of instance.
  - resource_type: instance
    metrics:
      - 'instance'
      - 'memory'
      - 'memory.usage'
      - 'memory.resident'
      - 'vcpus'
      - 'cpu'
      - 'cpu_util'
      - 'disk.root.size'
...
    attributes:
      host: resource_metadata.host
      image_ref: resource_metadata.image_ref_url
...
Here is the problem, although they have same attributes, they are *not* same. Some of them came from nova's notifications and the others are came from ceilometer-compute-agent.
1) Those came from notifications, their attributes looks like
image_ref :http://10.133.12.125:9292/images/
host: compute.lgy-openstack-kilo.novalocal
2) Those came from ceilometer-compute-agent,
image_ref : http://10.133.12.125:8774/4994e42421a04beda56fff7d817e810e/images/8d6a9cd9-48ae-4a41-bd13-262a46c93d72
host:ea8f8e465d9caff06e80a0fda6f30d02725e0b55dc0fd940954cb55c
Such difference will cause alternately and infinitely update of a instance's attributes if we enable nova audit. So I suggest we seperate these meters which came from notifications to another resource type like "instance_from_notification".
Any other idea?
