Description

Current monitoring capabilities for VDU resources deployed in OpenStacks, requires the availability of AODH/Gnocchi in the VIM. However, not all OpenStack VIMs (particularly, legacy ones) include these modules, but provide just bare Ceilometer.

This feature requests the capability to support resource monitoring based exclusively in the service provided by Ceilometer, even if it might pose some limitations.

Demo or definition of done

Check that the current options to obtain VDU metrics/alarms in OpenStack VIMs are also available in an OpenStack with Ceilometer but without AODH/Gnocchi.
