Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceilometer/+spec/paas-event-format-for-ceilometer. Description: The general mechanism for setting up Ceilometer collection for a new service has been to either create a targeted agent or use the existing service APIs to meter these systems. While this approach has worked for the existing set of services, it will run into a several problems as the number of PaaS and SaaS services that need to be metered expand. This blueprint provides a proposal for standardizing the format of integrations so that Ceilometer can consume metering data from any conforming application without doing any custom integration or even a code change.

This RFE does not require explicit testing as the output was non-functional, and not customer-facing. The task was to design a set of standard event formats that PaaS providers would be encouraged to adhere to, and to get agreement from a representative selection of such projects in the OpenStack ecosystem. This was codified in the following document: https://github.com/openstack/ceilometer/blob/master/doc/source/format.rst So there is no explicit QA required here.
