Hi everybody.

I have an Openstack Icehouse installation made with Devstack. I can't get the memory.usage meter for my instances (Debian Wheezy Image). On my hypervisors I have installed libvirt 1.2, which should provide functionalities for such feature in Ceilometer ( https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ceil... )

In logs I can see the agent polling for the memory.usage pollster.

root@dev2:~# cat /var/log/ceilometer-api/ceilometer-agent-compute.log | grep memory.usage
2014-10-01 12:12:40.579 3598 INFO ceilometer.agent [-] Polling pollster memory.usage
2014-10-01 12:22:40.690 3598 INFO ceilometer.agent [-] Polling pollster memory.usage
2014-10-01 12:32:44.215 3598 INFO ceilometer.agent [-] Polling pollster memory.usage
2014-10-01 12:48:06.002 3509 INFO ceilometer.agent [-] Polling pollster memory.usage
2014-10-01 12:57:05.019 3509 INFO ceilometer.agent [-] Polling pollster memory.usage

But the meter doesn't show if I use ceilometer meter-list -q resource=resource-id.

Do I need some additional configuration? Any help is really appreciated, thanks in advance.

Is there any other way I can find the memory.usage?

What is your hypervisor? I think right now, the memory usage metric in ceilometer only support Vmware hypervisor(ESXi). See this. Also the status of the task on the ceilometer blueprint(The link that you have provided) needs approval and this means it isn't accepted and implemented yet for other hypervisors such as KVM. See this.

I am not sure, but I think memory usage is not supported in ceilometer for other hypervisors than vmware ESXi.

HI Maestropandy,

We are looking to get the memory usage of an instance with this meter. But after installing openstack we dont have memory.usage or disk.usage parameters in the meter-list.

We needed some help in regards in how can we have these meters into our list too.
