Comment 10 for bug 1518338

Lianhao,

I think ceilometer can add some metadata to the metric to distinguish between different devices. Or maybe the metric can have attached the name of the device like eth1.hardware.network.outgoing.bytes but no the resource, i think its more elegant solution.

Otherwise, if i have a metric system that needs to show hypervisor metrics, and i need to show hostnames or ips instead
UUIDS, how can i translate a gnocchi uuid to 192.168.90.11.br-tun or 192.168.90.11.eth3 to then separate the hostname or the ip from the device to show the metric ??

Thanks.
