<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the reply. Looking at following architecture diagram I got a different idea about publishing from the collector <a href="http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/_images/7-overallarchi.png">http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/_images/7-overallarchi.png</a>. I do realize that the pipeline.py file is not even invoked when I run the ceilometer-collector. However, the architecture diagram seems to suggest that I can publish from the collector. <div>

</div></div>The collector does not publish any samples, it's a sink. It's the one<br>
that is going to listen on RPC and/or UDP.<br>
