The main goal of ceilometer is metering, and from what I understand all the billing processing is not something that fit or will in this project. > Is support for these other categories planned for Ceilometer or other > components?

Everything is gathered directly from ceilometer. In a near future we want to add the pricing informations directly in horizon. At the moment we're not addressing accounting/financial management functions. We've only really worked on what we needed to implement. We would be happy to hear about your use cases to see where the project should head. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
