Description-en: ceilometer central agent
Ceilometer aims to deliver a unique point of contact for billing systems to
acquire all counters they need to establish customer billing, across all
current and future OpenStack components. The delivery of counters must
be traceable and auditable, the counters must be easily extensible to support
new projects, and agents doing data collections should be
independent of the overall system.
.
(A ceilometer is an instrument that measures cloud coverage.)
.
This package contains the central agent.
