Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 21:37:20 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceilometer/+spec/support-resources-pipeline-item.

Description:

By adding a new optional item 'resources' in the pipeline definition, it will allows the admin to specify which endpoints the pollsters defined in the same pipeline to get the data from.

The new pipeline definition would be something like the followings:

-
name: meter_pipeline
interval: 600
meters:
        - "*"
resources:
        - snmp://10.4.4.4
        - ipmi://10.5.5.5
transformers:
publishers:
       - rpc://

How to intepret the content of the 'resources' field will depends on pollster.
