Hi all,

I found strange behavior of command 'ceilometer metric-list' , ceilometer database and horizon.
First the command 'ceilometer metric-list'.
It displays only "Name cpu.cpu" and that is all. But If I look into database of ceilometer, then I see this:
MariaDB [ceilometer]> select * from meter;
+----+-----------------------------------+------------+-----------+
| id | name                              | type       | unit      |
+----+-----------------------------------+------------+-----------+
| 58 | cpu                               | cumulative | ns        |
|  1 | cpu.cpu                           | gauge      | jiffies   |
| 74 | cpu.delta                         | delta      | ns        |
| 71 | cpu_util                          | gauge      | %         |
...
64 | disk.usage                        | gauge      | B         |
| 62 | disk.write.bytes                  | cumulative | B         |
| 72 | disk.write.bytes.rate             | gauge      | B/s       |
| 49 | disk.write.requests               | cumulative | request   |
| 66 | disk.write.requests.rate          | gauge      | request/s |
| 14 | hugepages.free_hugepages          | gauge      | None      |
| 23 | hugepages.nr_hugepages            | gauge      | None      |
...

I have also proper resources and samples in db.

*****
And my question is: How is connected the database table meter and the command metric-list?
Second question how I can propagate the metrics to horizon dashboard "Resource usage"?
(I'm able only see cpu metric from started worker image)

Can you please point me out?
Thanks a lot!
Jarek

Background:
I'm writing plugin which connects collectd and ceilometer and I want to see the collectd metrics in the horizon or at least in the ceilometer shell.
