OpenStack Compute (nova)

Need a way to list the metrics of the compute node

Registered by Lianhao Lu

In icehouse, the bp https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/utilization-aware-scheduling added the extensible infrastructure to allow getting various compute node metrics for scheduling purpose. Now we need a way to expose those kind of metrics information to help the admin configure the corresponding scheduler metric weigher.

As there is no code up for review, removing this blueprint from mitaka, as part of the non-priority Feature Freeze. For more details please see: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/process.html --johnthetubaguy 2015.01.15

We're now past the non-priority feature freeze for the Newton release. When discussing this for a FFE there were also concerns about exposing compute node metrics at all since there is a feeling we should be deprecating the pluggable metric monitors from Nova, but we don't have a plan for removing/replacing that really so we're going to discuss that at the newton midcycle. -- mriedem 20160706
