Ceilometer to Gnocchi

Transitioning to Aggregates
 No, its a replacement for the
Is Gnocchi a replacement for Metering storage part of Ceilometer
Ceilometer? only.
How they differ
- Ceilometer legacy storage captures full-resolution data. Each datapoint has:
- Timestamp, measurement, IDs, resource metadata, metric metadata, etc
- Single datapoint averages to ~1.5KB/point (mongodb) or ~150B/point (SQL)
- For 1000 VM, capturing 10 metrics/VM, every minute:
- ~15MB/minute, ~900MB/hour, ~21GB/day, etc
- Now try to calculate the average on that data in a timely manner
- Gnocchi stores aggregated data in a timeserie. Each datapoint has:
- Timestamp, measurement thats it and then its compressed
- resource metadata is an explicit subset AND not tied to measurement
- Single datapoint AT MOST is 9B/point
- For 1000 VM, capturing 10metrics/VM, every minute:
- ~90KB/minute, ~5.4MB/hour, ~130MB/day, etc
- Average (and any other statistical aggregation) is already computed prior to query
- Mandatory archive rules means less unwanted data stored
Archive Policies
- Required to define at what resolution you want to capture data
- Gnocchi provides default policies but custom policies accepted
- max sample value every minute, over 1 month
- gnocchi archive-policy create <name> -d granularity:1m,points:43200 -m max
- mean sample every sec, over 1 day & mean sample every day, over 1 month
- gnocchi archive-policy create <name> -d granularity:1s,points:86400 -d granularity:1d,points:30 -m
mean
- default aggregates every month, over 2 years
- gnocchi archive-policy create <name> -d granularity:1m,points:24
Querying is a little different
List resources
A little less information is available regarding resources in Ceilometer view. You also need to know what the ids
are to understand what the resource is.

Not really possible in Ceilometer. You need to query on a common metadata attribute.

A few more tricks
- gnocchi resource history <resource_id>
- Get a list of all the changes to resource metadata
- --start and --stop to define time ranges
- More diverse aggregation support
- min, max, median, mean, stdev, first, last, moving-average, etc
- complex filtering rules
- --query not (flavor_id!=\"1\" and memory>=24)
