en: Archive policies can now be configured per metrics in gnocchi_resources.yaml. A default list of archive policies is now created by Ceilometer. They are called "ceilometer-low-rate" for all IOs metrics and "ceilometer-low" for others.

en: Ceilometer backends are no more only databases but also REST API like Gnocchi. So ceilometer-dbsync binary name doesn't make a lot of sense and have been renamed ceilometer-upgrade. The new binary handles database schema upgrade like ceilometer-dbsync does, but it also handle any changes needed in configured ceilometer backends like Gnocchi.

en: Ceilometer legacy backends and Ceilometer API are now deprecated. Polling all nova instances from compute agent is no more required with Gnocchi. So we switch the [compute]instance_discovery_method to libvirt_metadata. To switch back to the old deprecated behavior you can set it back to 'naive'.

en: Ceilometer now creates it own archive policies in Gnocchi and use them to create metrics in Gnocchi. Old metrics kept their current archive policies and will not be updated with ceilometer-upgrade. Only newly created metrics will be impacted. Archive policy can still be overridden with the publisher url (e.g: gnocchi://archive_policy=high).

en: Ceilometer now leverages the latest distribution mechanism provided by the tooz library. Therefore the options `coordination.retry_backoff` and `coordination.max_retry_interval` do not exist anymore.

en: Ceilometer sets up the HTTPProxyToWSGI middleware in front of Ceilometer. The purpose of this middleware is to set up the request URL correctly in case there is a proxy (for instance, a loadbalancer such as HAProxy) in front of Ceilometer. So, for instance, when TLS connections are being terminated in the proxy, and one tries to get the versions from the / resource of Ceilometer, one will notice that the protocol is incorrect; It will show 'http' instead of 'https'. So this middleware handles such cases. Thus helping Keystone discovery work correctly. The HTTPProxyToWSGI is off by default and needs to be enabled via a configuration value.

en: Ceilometer supports generic notifier to publish data and allow user to customize parameters such as topic, transport driver and priority. The publisher configuration in pipeline.yaml can be notifer://[notifier_ip]:[notifier_port]?topic=[topic]&driver=driver&max_retry=100 Not only rabbit driver, but also other driver like kafka can be used.

en: Collector is no longer supported in this release. The collector introduces lags in pushing data to backend. To optimize the architecture, Ceilometer push data through dispatchers using publishers in notification agent directly.

en: In an effort to minimise the noise, Ceilometer will no longer produce meters which have no measureable data associated with it. Image meter only captures state information which is already captured in events and other meters.

en: Neutron API is not designed to be polled against. When polling against Neutron is enabled, Ceilometer's polling agents may generage a significant load against the Neutron API. It is recommended that a dedicated API be enabled for polling while Neutron's API is improved to handle polling.

en: The Ceilometer compute agent can now retrieve some instance metadata from the metadata libvirt API instead of polling the Nova API. Since Mitaka, Nova fills this metadata with some information about the instance. To enable this feature you should set [compute]/instance_discovery_method = libvirt_metadata in the configuration file. The only downside of this method is that user_metadata (and some other instance attributes) are no longer part of the samples created by the agent. But when Gnocchi is used as backend, this is not an issue since Gnocchi doesn't store resource metadata aside of the measurements. And the missing informations are still retrieved through the Nova notifications and will fully update the resource information in Gnocchi.
