gnocchi is strongly typed when compared to classical ceilometer db where you can dump anything and everything. we don't support wildcards as is but i believe it's something we can aim to support? Mehdi is currently in process of implementing dynamic resources which would give more flexiblity on what type of data we can store in Gnocchi. i believe from ceilometer pov, we can add support to allow wildcard support in regards to adding new metrics. cheers, -- gord __________________________________________________________________________ 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
