Comment 2 for bug 1652848

Hi,

Responding to Frode's query:
1) At least one customer who currently depends on Ceilometer is asking for this right now, but I can't really guess how many future customers would want this. It might be worth asking around on the ops mailing list if we're trying to work out if the effort is worth it for a one off. What I can say is that the customer asking for this doesn't have capacity for the retention they want with the default 10 min interval, and the setting is provided in Ceilometer itself so should be exposed via charm if we want to avoid hacky workarounds.

2) The request I've got from the customer was a single setting for all sources - and I would expect that to be the most logical approach when querying the resulting data sets.

Thanks for looking into this!
