Is it possible dbcounter was not installed at the time glance was starting up? I didn't think so given the timestamp on the package dir:
Certainly doesn't seem like it, based on when we do it in the devstack sequence either.
I couldn't figure out anything so finally I tried restarting the g-api service and it started without any error. Subsequent restart also had no error.
Huh, interesting. I haven't been able to repro this locally so I haven't been able to poke at it. Restarting it and having it work certainly supports your sequencing theory. I guess I'll try to chase that possibility tomorrow. If lots of people start hitting this, we might want to just disable by default and enable the performance gathering in our jobs. It's already been helpful a couple times for debugging resource usage in the gate. --Dan
