Q1. When does this script need?
At the first time use of Cloud Metrics, you need setup database information.
Once you installed Cloud Metrics using pip install futuregrid-cloud-metric, you can setup database by fg-metric-install shell executable.

Q2. Why is this step required?
Cloud Metric supports cloud usage analysis based on the data on database. You can not perform any analysis and get statistics without configuring database information.

what about just do the configuration in a yaml file and excluding the passwd that is than asked for.

e.g. -f config.yaml

cloud-metric:

database:
host: ...
port: ...
username: ....
password: input
name: ...

note i put input as password which would result in prompting it . maybe same can applied with other fields.

maybe -o specifies where to store the output file ...
