Description

It would be very useful if the StatsCollector inside the management server could also send all the stats collected to a Graphite server in addition to the usage database.

This allows for easy graph generation for CPU, Network and Disk I/O of Instances and hosts.

Via a global setting we can configure:

• Graphite host
• Graphite port
• Key prefix

We can then send Instance and Host information, like:

cloudstack.stats.instances.<vm id>.cpu.num 1
cloudstack.stats.instances.<vm id>.cpu.utilization 50
cloudstack.stats.instances.<vm id>.network.read_kbs 4817
cloudstack.stats.instances.<vm id>.network.write_kbs 672
