I like http://wiki.openstack.org/SystemUsageData

I just wonder if there should be offical formats for the data sent across the 
wire.

Or at least high level formats that define the data, maybe in a simple python 
"map" style layout.

With examples would be awesome.

Is there a document somewhere on what events the services emit?

This already exists in trunk.  The Notification system was designed 
specifically to feed billing and monitoring systems.

Basically, we don't want Nova/Glance/etc to be in the business of trying to 
determine billing logic, since it is different for pretty much everyone,  so we 
just emit notifications to a queue and the interested pull what they want, and 
aggregate according to their own rules.

Hi,

I want to share the architecture i am developing in order to perform the 
monitorig / billing OpenStack support:

1. AMQP Client which listen to RabbitMQ / QPid (this should be interchangeable) 
(Own Stuff or ServiceMix / Camel)

2. Events should be stored on a NoSQL document oriented database (I think 
mongodb is perfect, since we can query in a super easy fashion)

We have an existing system called Yagi (https://github.com/Cerberus98/yagi/) 
that listens to the notification queues and persists events to a Redis 
database.  It then provides feeds as ATOM formatted documents that a billing 
system can pull to aggregate data, It also can support PubSub notification of 
clients thru the pubsubhubub protocol, and push events to a long-term archiving 
store thru the AtomPub protocol.

That said, the notification system outputs its events as JSON, so it should be 
easy to pipe into a json document-oriented db if that's what you need. (we only 
use ATOM because we have a atom-based archiving/search/aggregation engine (it's 
open source: http://atomhopper.org/ ) our in-house systems already plug into. )




3a. The monitoring system can pull/push MongoDB

3b. The billing system can pull to create invoices

4. A mediation EIP should be necessary to integrate a billing/monitoring 
product. (ServiceMix / Camel)

This is to receive your feedback. So please, critics are welcome!

Cheers!
