Support for VMware vCenter Server
Although Nova provides support for VMware vCenter Server, Ceilometer does not. It does not collect metrics of virtual machines deployed on VMware virtualization platform. It will be necessary to extend this support in Ceilometer.
The aim is to implement a polling agent that queries samples from VMware vCenter Server:
1) for existing meters.
2) create new meters in Ceilometer for which VMware vCenter Server provides data.

Whiteboard
One comment: it might make sense to have separate blueprints for adding the initial support for vCenter, and for adding any new attributes. I'd focus first on getting basic support in place, then look at what else we may want to expose. - Dan Wendlandt
agree with Dan, let's split bp to have one for supporting existing meters and another for extending -- gordc
i'm pretty interested in this item, are we still targeting icehouse-3? any help needed? -- gordc
