There are a couple of things you could verify in this case:

1) Make sure Cinder is correctly speaking with the message broker 2) Make sure the volume is being created

This sounds like a configuration issue related to ceilometer. If you're able to create a volume, it means that cinder is talking with the message broker. Could you share your configs or more info related to that? What do logs say?

Also, the volume's events are: create.start and create.end

Hi,

do you see in your cinder-volume.log some thing like :

DEBUG [cinder.openstack.common.rpc.amqp] Sending volume.create.start on notifications.info

DEBUG [cinder.openstack.common.rpc.amqp] Sending volume.create.end on notifications.info

DEBUG [cinder.openstack.common.rpc.amqp] Sending volume.delete.start on notifications.info

DEBUG [cinder.openstack.common.rpc.amqp] Sending volume.delete.end on notifications.info

if not, configure cinder.conf to send notifications : notificationdriver=cinder.openstack.common.notifier.rpcnotifier
