grizzly-common-instrumentation seems to be the best choice ... hopefully the other groups will use this etherpad too. 

We need a proper blueprint to nail down the approach. IRC is great, but doesn't retain history for other groups. I think we need to get a plan for translating the etherpad into something concise and nailed down.

statgen should really just be a new notifier in Tach (or Scrutinize) ... vs copy-pasting the code into yet-another repo.  Hopefully that's the plan? Tach should remain a generic tool and not pegged to OpenStack.

Yip.

Here is some fun I have been having with a bit of tach+ceilometer code.

I'll add some links here that I am aware of:

Looks great! I like the monkey patching for performance as you have
done here, but we also need a nice clean way of manually inserting instrumentation
too (that is what I have been experimenting with in statgen).

Can we chat in #openstack-metering so we are a bit more aware what we are all up to?
