• • Introductions: Vinay Kumar
    • Joined with RedHat, Metrics & Monitoring.
    • Looking in to Gnocchi, AODH, Ceilometer, etc. Interested in integrating Collectd with OpenStack.

• • Necessity of gRPC interface for collectd.
    • Clover project and cloud native WG have proposal to integrate most of OPNFV projects with gRPC interface.
    • GRPC is hot, good thing is binary format is very compact, while http is very verbose using up a lot of bandwidth
    • ONAP talks a lot on using GRPC instead of kafka
    • No downside on having GRPC
    • Good to float the idea within Collectd community
    • Florian & others added in write_prometheus, to enable cloud native
      • It creates a scrape target
      • Superior from Collectd exporter from Prometheus itself
    • Real key is to provide correlation between app metrics and infrastructure metrics. Have them be in common data definitions & timestamps.
      • Collectd timestamps are when metrics are generated
      • Prometheus timestamp is when it gets scraped
      • There is a disconnect
    • We need to keep reminding CN folks about correlation on time/locality, between virtual/physical
    • Need to check for direct integration between Jaeger and Collectd
    • A list of metrics/capabilities through node_exporter in Prometheus might be helpful.
      • Strengths, missing metrics?
      • Get stuff in to node_exporter?
      • CN folks might know as they are from different community than OpenStack, as there are different tools, etc.
    • Aaron to help us out here to get started! 
    • Al to contribute here.

• • Importance of having “hostname” as uniform reporting instead of IPv4 address:
    • Memcached plugin is special -> provide both hostname & IPv4 address. Opened a PR in PuppetCollectd to fix proper reporting.
    • It would be good to have additional text along with hostname, like rack name, tag datacenters
    • Need to work with plugin authors
