Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceilometer/+spec/applications-metrics-from-instances. Description: Enable custom metrics/stats push to Ceilometer from within an VM. The idea here is to have daemon (a new pollster) deployed inside one or more VMs to POST metrics to Ceilometer API and so allow instances autoscaling rules driven by system/application's specific metrics. The metrics collection is delegated to a specialised tools (i.e Ganglia) The daemon will poll collected metrics from the specialised tools and POST them to Ceilometer. The metrics pushed to Ceilometer will must be tagged with resource_id equals to stack_id when VMs are deployed through Heat. Specification URL (additional information): None
