+With Barometer the scope is extended to monitoring the NFVI. The ability to

+environment, in order to enforce SLAs or to detect violations, faults or
+degradation in the performance of NFVI resources so that events and relevant
+metrics are reported to higher level fault management systems.

+Barometer updated scope
+=======================
+The scope of the project is to provide interfaces to support monitoring of the
+NFVI. The project will develop plugins for telemetry frameworks to enable the
+collection of platform stats and events and relay gathered information to fault
+management applications or the VIM. The scope is limited to
+collecting/gathering the events and stats and relaying them to a relevant
+endpoint. The project will not enforce or take any actions based on the
+gathered information.
