OpenStack Plugin Guide
**********************
The OSM MON module provides support for two different OpenStack plugins that
provide monitoring functionality. The Gnocchi plugin implements metric
functionality, whilst the Aodh plugin supports alarming functionality.

Gnocchi
-------
Gnocchi is a timeseries, metrics and resources database, which allows you to
store and access the information and history of resources and their metrics.

Aodh
----
Aodh is OpenStack's alarming project, it enables alarms to be created based on
Gnocchi metrics. Rules can be defined for these metrics to create these alarms.
