</span>first and most importantly, the ceilometer-api is deprecated and not<br>
supported upstream anymore. please use gnocchi for proper time series<br>

</span>when posting samples to ceilometer-api, the data goes through pipeline<br>
before being stored. therefore, you need notification-agent enabled AND<br>
you need to make sure the pipeline.yaml accepts the meter.<br>
