==================================

Synopsis
--------

**display name**: ``uniform_airflow``

**goal**: ``airflow_optimization``

.. watcher-term:: watcher.decision_engine.strategy.strategies.uniform_airflow

Requirements
------------

This strategy has a dependency on the server having Intel's Power
Node Manager 3.0 or later enabled.

Metrics
*******

The *uniform_airflow* strategy requires the following metrics:

================================== ============ ======= =======
metric                             service name plugins comment
================================== ============ ======= =======
``hardware.ipmi.node.airflow``     ceilometer_  IPMI
``hardware.ipmi.node.temperature`` ceilometer_  IPMI
``hardware.ipmi.node.power``       ceilometer_  IPMI
================================== ============ ======= =======

Actions
*******

Default Watcher's actions:


    .. list-table::
       :widths: 30 30
       :header-rows: 1

       * - action
         - description
       * - ``migration``
         - .. watcher-term:: watcher.applier.actions.migration.Migrate
