This is on a master/Newton devstack. I am demo user, demo project, I have an instance running (UUID 86b6b885-2764-4651-9f1e-933b0b893267) and I want to list the meters for this instance.

ceilometer meter-list | grep 86b6b885

No output.

ceilometer meter-list -q resource=86b6b885-2764-4651-9f1e-933b0b893267

Plenty of output. Each line contains the resource ID.

So, if I run meter-list without parameters, it doesn't show me the meters of my instance. If I filter for the resource ID, I get the meters. This is not very intuitive, to say the least.

What is meter-list without options supposed to show?
