We'll likely require a bit of activity before we can judge the inclusion anyway (that is the only way for us to judge if you're following the OpenStack way). It's perfectly fine (and even encouraged) to be hosted on openstack infrastructure for the time being :) I was just adding a bit of clarification since using "OpenStack Watcher" in the original post could have been seen as some official endorsement.

Re: [openstack-dev] [tc] [watcher] New project: Watcher
hi, seems like a neat idea, i had a few questions after watching the presentation from Vancouver. - is Watcher streaming the data captured by Ceilometer or is it querying the Ceilometer db? - is it utilising the Event data captured by Ceilometer or metric data? both? - i notice there's a tsdb used by Watcher. what TSDB is supported? - is alarming functionality provided by Aodh used or is the 'machine learning'+'orchestration' service meant to replace the functionality provided by Aodh+Heat? one reason i'm asking is that Ceilometer has a section in wiki to list projects that leverage Ceilometer[1] so it's easy to track existing extensions. feel free to add Watcher there if you feel like it.

[openstack-dev] [tc] [watcher] New project: Watcher
We are pleased to introduce Watcher, a new project in the OpenStack ecosystem. We believe that a "resource optimization" service in an OpenStack-based cloud is a crucial component that has been missing to date and we have started working towards filling that gap. OpenStack Watcher provides a flexible and scalable resource optimization service for multi-tenant OpenStack-based clouds. Watcher provides a complete optimization loop—including everything from a metrics receiver, complex event processor and profiler, optimization processor and an action plan applier.
