What it is and what it does
Oslo Metrics is a library that provides a standardized API for collecting metrics data from other Oslo libraries and exposing that data to monitoring systems. It is part of the OpenStack Oslo project and integrates with prometheus-client to bridge application-level metrics collection with external monitoring infrastructure.
The package is intended for use within OpenStack deployments and services that need to instrument their code and report metrics to centralized monitoring. It abstracts the metrics collection interface so that Oslo libraries can emit metrics without tight coupling to a specific monitoring backend.
Use it for
- Instrument OpenStack services to collect performance and operational metrics for export to Prometheus or other monitoring systems.
- Aggregate metrics from multiple Oslo libraries into a single, unified metrics API for centralized observability.
- Enable real-time monitoring of OpenStack component health, resource usage, and request latencies.
- Build custom dashboards and alerts based on metrics collected from OpenStack infrastructure.
- Track application-level events and state changes in long-running OpenStack services.
