Bases: ceilometer.publisher.ConfigPublisherBase
Publisher metering data to file.
The file publisher pushes metering data into a file. The file name and location should be configured in ceilometer pipeline configuration file. If a file name and location is not specified, this File Publisher will not log any meters other than log a warning in Ceilometer log file.
To enable this publisher, add the following section to the /etc/ceilometer/pipeline.yaml file or simply add it to an existing pipeline:
-
name: meter_file
interval: 600
counters:
- "*"
transformers:
publishers:
- file:///var/test?max_bytes=10000000&backup_count=5
File path is required for this publisher to work properly. If max_bytes or backup_count is missing, FileHandler will be used to save the metering data. If max_bytes and backup_count are present, RotatingFileHandler will be used to save the metering data.
