i guess i should probably add that the current pollster doesn't work
because of limitation in nova api[1].
if we want to support discovery of whether nova-network or neutron is
used, the existing pollster and nova-api still needs to be fixed.

Ceilometer floatingip pollster currently polls the nova api to get the
floating ip info periodically. But due to limitations in the nova api
as listed in this bug[1],
the data ceilometer receives isn't all that useful. Nova doesn't
return this info for all tenants. There has been some work in juno
time frame but it was
reverted due to the fact that the nova api logs were being spammed [2].
Due to these concerns, the proposal now is to use the neutron api to
get this data as proposed in this patch[3]. What we would like to know
is,
1. Is the data gathered from current floating ip pollster being used?
if so how and what context ?
2. This might only be an issue for pure nova-network scenario, but
even that i'm not sure how useful the current data we gather is?
3. Are there any other concerns regarding this change that we should
discuss?
Any feedback appreciated,
Thanks,
