A general question about Alarms in Ceilometer ... Is the intent that Ceilometer is collecting, managing & distributing 'general' OpenStack Alarms ?
· All of the documentation around Alarms in Ceilometer is about PM Threshold Alarms; i.e. Alarms triggered when a PM Counter crosses a specified threshold · But there are other types of Alarms associated with an OpenStack Cloud o Alarms related to equipment failures, o Alarms related to network failures, o Etc. · I have not seen any discussions suggesting that Ceilometer be used to collect, manage & distribute 'general' OpenStack Alarms · The architecture for managing Alarms would be very similar to that of PMs ... o The Ceilometer Architecture of Listener / Pollster Plugins and Publisher Plugins applies well to general Alarm Management as well § i.e. Listener / Pollster Plugins for listening or monitoring fault conditions § Publisher Plugins for generating the appropriate Alarms and sending to an Alarm Collector § An Alarm Collector with backend plugins for Northbound Management Interfaces (SNMP, Netconf, etc.) Comments ?
