Hi I have a requirement of monitoring VMs, if a VM's meter like cpu_util become too high, then system generate an alarm for this VM with meter information.
I have tested alarm function of ceilometer, below are commands I used to create alarm object with meter and resource id or not: ceilometer alarm-threshold-create --name alarm1 --meter-name cpu_util --period 60 --evaluation-periods 1 --statistic avg --comparison-operator gt --threshold 1 -q resource_id=757dadaa-0707-4fad-808d-81edc11438aa ceilometer alarm-threshold-create --name alarm1 --meter-name cpu_util --period 60 --evaluation-periods 1 --statistic avg --comparison-operator gt --threshold 1 I have the following question: If I have to define alarm object for every VM and every meter? Take 100 VM and 2 meter cpu_util, memory_util as an example, I will have to define 100*2 alarm objects for them. I think if I just define alarm object with meter not but VM(resource_id), then alarm evaluator will count all VM's meter. Another question produced by question above: I know that alarm evaluator will process alarm object one by one, so too many alarm object may result in performance problems too. I am not a ceilometer programmer and I apologize if I am missing something very obvious. Can you give me some help to make me clear about them and how to implement my requirement? Thanks
