Hi everyone I have installed devstack in my standalone box. I have created some VM instances as well. Now when I try to get meter list from ceilometer through API I get only 4 meters all starting with 'storage.objects' (storage.objects.outgoing.bytes, storage.objects.incoming.bytes). I do not see any metrics about cpu utilization , memory, etc. Please help me how can I debug this.

did you find any errors in the ceilometer related logs and ensure the rabbitmq can be reached.

I checked /var/log/ceilometer-api/ceilometer-api.log. There are no new messages and no error. The messages were of old timestamp. How can I check if rabbitmq is reachable?

try this way, remove or backup all the logs related to ceilometer then restart all the ceilometer services(c-api,c-collector,c-compute-agent,etc) and paste all the logs to paste.openstack.org and we will take a close look.

Hi.. I do not see any logs for ceilometer under /var/log/ apart from /var/log/ceiloemter-api/ceilometer-api.log . I have pasted the logs of other ceilometer process here http://paste.openstack.org/show/165477/ . Does this help?

Hi I wanted a few more answers . So I am posting my questions here. Glad if you could help. Thanks in adavance 1. The meters being collected by ceilometer - does it depend on hypervisor being used? 2. What is the default hypervisor used by openstack(devstack installation) ? How can I figure it out?

Get Meters call wont show up metrics for resources that do not exist. Unless you spin a VM you will not see meters such as cpu utilization and memory. Devstack would have nova configurations in place if you have ceilometer services enabled using local.conf. Make sure you have the following in local.conf

enable_service ceilometer-acompute ceilometer-acentral ceilometer-anotification ceilometer-collector
