Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 21:46:26 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceilometer/+spec/ceilometer-cloudwatch-api.

Description:

Implementing AWS CloudWatch API for ceilometer will make ceilometer more general, because many third-partys have developed a lot of tools to collect mornitoring data based on CloudWatch API. If ceilometer has cloudwatch api, we can use these tools without any change. Further more, this will also help people migrate off of a closed system and on to an open one.

The following is some transitions between CloudWatch and Ceilometer Glossary:

CloudWatch             Ceilometer
    metric        -->       meter
 dimension     -->       resource
namespace    -->        source
