regarding ceilometer+oslo.messaging backend[1]. i feel like i should 
mention, i'm not sure how you guys are using the query but i should 
mention that is not the correct way to use Ceilometer meters as it 
currently isn't measuring anything (see hardcoded - volume:1)

again, i'm not sure what query you are utilising, but i would suggest 
you probably change this to use Events (possibly with elasticsearch) 
rather than Meters because it currently doesn't seem to make much sense.
