["Jiang, Yunhong" <yunhong.jiang@xxxxxxxxx>]

My 2 cents.

Basically there are two method to interact with Ganglia. One is to push all data from ceilometer into Gangalia, another one is your suggestion, put all data from Gangalia to ceilometer. 

According to current definition of ceilometer "infrastructure to collect measurements within OpenStack", IMHO, possibly we take not take data from Gangalia. If some data in Gangalia that are openstack/cloud specific, we should have pollster in ceilometer to get it.

If Ganglia has interest in ceilometer data, we can achieve it through a specific publisher, to put data into Gangalia.

Thanks
