OK, let me give some context/background here.

Prior to late in the Icehouse cycle (i.e. Mar 26) we had used the
check_uptodate script to ensure that a statically checked-in sample
.conf file was up-to-date with respect to the code-level descriptions
of these config options.

This caused recurrent problems in CI, so as temporary work-around we
disabled this check so as to unblock the gate.

However there was then no guarantee that reality wouldn't slowly
diverge from the static .conf sample, so early in Juno (Apr 18) we
decided to follow nova's lead and also remove the static in-tree
sample, in favor of re-generating on the fly.

In the meantime, there has been a lot of churn in config caused mainly
by:

1. a new keystoneclient release, which seems to include lots of
   white-space/docstr related changes to the generated config

2. landing the oslo-messaging switch-over in ceilometer, which
   deprecates all the old common RPC config options

So of the 3 attachments:

> Version before it disappeared in the ceilometer project:
> ceilometer.conf.sample-5995bf906cea07e69

This is a snapshot in time, which was correct on Apr 18 but has
since been superceeded.

This is less out-of-date, but should be re-generated from master
as of today.
 
> Your version that I found in openstack-manuals:
> ceilometer.conf-manuals 

This is quite stale, as it seems to predate the landing of the
oslo-messaging switchover.

Note that I'm assuming all along that the docco should be based on
master, as opposed to being in lockstep with the last release (i.e.
the icehouse final tag).

Hope this helps,
Eoghan
