They way we were using graphite was incorrect for the type of data we were sending it. statsd is the appropriate mechanism for our needs.
statsd and graphite are mutually exclusive and configuring statsd will take precendence over Graphite. Example of configuration in vmpooler.yaml.example
The following pool configuration would allow a pool to be aliased in POST
requests as 'centos-6-x86_64', 'centos-6-amd64', or 'centos-6-64':
````yaml
- name: 'centos-6-x86_64'
alias: [ 'centos-6-amd64', 'centos-6-64' ]
template: 'templates/centos-6-x86_64'
folder: 'vmpooler/centos-6-x86_64'
datastore: 'instance1'
size: 5
````
The 'alias' configuration can be either a string or an array.
Note that even when requesting an alias, the pool's 'name' is returned in
the JSON response:
````
$ curl -d '{"centos-6-64":"1"}' --url vmpooler/api/v1/vm
````
````json
{
"ok": true,
"centos-6-x86_64": {
"hostname": "cuna2qeahwlzji7"
},
"domain": "company.com"
}
````
Prior to this commit, several pieces of vmpooler performed configuration
and initialization steps within 'initialize'. This made it difficult to
pass in mock objects for testing purposes.
This commit performs a single configuration and passes the results to
the various pieces of vmpooler.
