File based Metric Map¶
Allow watcher to load a yaml file which contains a map of internal metrics names (as expected by watcher) to real metrics names in use in the datasources.
Global datasource preference¶
Some clouds might only have a single datasource available setting the datasource preference for every individual strategy is error prone and time consuming. A global datasource preference prevents errors and simplifies configuring watcher.
Add resource_name in action input parameter¶
Currently watcher has only UUIDs for users to distinguish different actions which is not friendly. This BP will add a resource_name field in action input parameters which is more user friendly.
Add Show Datamodel API¶
Add Show Datamodel API to see the information of the instance in the specified scope.
Add force field to Audit¶
As now, Watcher doesn’t allow to launch a new audit when there is actionplan ongoing. This is because if the new audit has the same data model as the ongoing actionplan, the new audit may create a wrong actionplan. But if there are different data model scope, we should allow the new audit to run. We want to give the choice to User, if User set force to True when launching audit, Watcher will execute the audit even other actionplan is ongoing.
Support Placement API¶
Placement provides a service for managing, selecting, and claiming available resources in a cloud. Many Watcher strategies need to select a target host for VM migrating. Watcher can improve the process by the help of placement.
