Entities, lookup information, and metrics for OpenStack API ETL


This topic provides information about the lookup details and mapping between the OpenStack metrics and the BMC Helix Continuous Optimization metrics.


Lookup information

The OpenStack API Extractor Service defines multiple lookup fields for coordinating with other connectors. The following table lists the sequence of field sets for strong lookup and weak lookup.
