XenAPI support¶
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceilometer/+spec/xenapi-support

Problem description¶
The usecase is to use xenapi to inspect the XenServer hypervisor.
Proposed change¶
Create xenapi directory in ceilometer/compute/virt, and implement xenapi inspector to support all existing meters.
