Transitioning your Cloud Monitoring from Ceilometer to Monasca

There has recently been an increase in interest in Monasca as a monitoring service for OpenStack Clouds.  Some interest is from new users looking for a scalable service to monitor their cloud.  But what if you are already familiar with Ceilometer and the Telemetry project?

We will discuss some of the great things about Monasca and do some comparison of how it can handle some important use cases, such as

  • Gathering monitoring data in a cloud
  • Sending notifications and alarms
  • Supporting pretty graphs
  • Support for auto-scaling and self healing
  • Providing data for billing (because someone has to pay for your donuts)

What can I expect to learn?

- What features are available from Monasca

- Some comparison of Monasca and Ceilometer architecture and features

- How Monasca can support your monitoring use cases, and even do more than Ceilometer

- What options are available to enable deploying Monasca

- How to get connect with the Monasca community
