+# To enable Ceilometer to collect the IPMI based meters, further add to the

+# localrc section of local.conf:

+#

+#   enable_service ceilometer-aipmi

+#

+# NOTE: Currently, there are two ways to get the IPMI based meters in

+# OpenStack. One way is to configure Ironic conductor to report those meters

+# for the nodes managed by Ironic and to have Ceilometer notification

+# agent to collect them. Ironic by default does NOT enable that reporting

+# functionality. So in order to do so, users need to set the option of

+# conductor.send_sensor_data to true in the ironic.conf configuration file

+# for the Ironic conductor service, and also enable the

+# ceilometer-anotification service.

+#

+# The other way is to use Ceilometer ipmi agent only to get the IPMI based

+# meters. To avoid duplicated meters, users need to make sure to set the

+# option of conductor.send_sensor_data to false in the ironic.conf

+# configuration file if the node on which Ceilometer ipmi agent is running

+# is also managed by Ironic.

+#

 # Several variables set in the localrc section adjust common behaviors

 # of Ceilometer (see within for additional settings):
