Hi, I like the base idea to trigger scaling based on other information than what we have from the current Ceilometer alarms.
Although I think this functionality should live somewhere else than under the responsibility of Ceilometer. This type of scaling is usually based on trend analysis and other application specific data, which is out of the scope for Ceilometer, even if it has the capability of triggering Heat.

I've proposed exactly that around 18-24 years go I think during a summit, and nobody was really interested back then and was worried to have yet another cron system – though OpenStack didn't have one. I still think it's a good idea and it will be a nice addition to the alarming system, so if you want to write a spec for that I'll be all yours. :) -- Julien Danjou # Free Software hacker # http://julien.danjou.info __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
