Hi Eoghan,

Thank you. Tried this, but unfortunately it seems the user_metadata part
causes a failure.
Command having just AutoScalingGroupName as a metadata goes through ok:

curl -X POST -H 'X-Auth-Token: f66288ad283d4ee0a322d03c95db2a4b' -H
'Content-Type: application/json' -d '[ { "counter_name": "vm_cpu_load",
"resource_id": "8d326543-cde9-4c3c-9c7e-3973cfbcb057", "resource_metadata"
: { "AutoScalingGroupName": "tykyauto-Group_B-ljhkoj244qzh" },
"counter_unit": "%", "counter_volume": 11, "counter_type": "gauge" } ]'
http://192.168.100.5:8777/v2/meters/vm_cpu_load

...but when I add the user_metadata part:

curl -X POST -H 'X-Auth-Token: f66288ad283d4ee0a322d03c95db2a4b' -H
'Content-Type: application/json' -d '[ { "counter_name": "vm_cpu_load",
"resource_id": "8d326543-cde9-4c3c-9c7e-3973cfbcb057", "resource_metadata"
: { "AutoScalingGroupName": "tykyauto-Group_B-ljhkoj244qzh",
"user_metadata": {"server_group": "Group_B"} }, "counter_unit": "%",
"counter_volume": 11, "counter_type": "gauge" } ]'
http://192.168.100.5:8777/v2/meters/vm_cpu_load

...the following error occurs:

<43>Apr  4 09:08:56 node-6
ceilometer-ceilometer.collector.dispatcher.database ERROR: Failed to record

    raise OperationFailure(details["err"], details["code"])
OperationFailure: not okForStorage

I have mongo configured as a database for Ceilometer (otherwise
ceilometer-alarm-evaluator error ERROR: Server-side error: "metaquery not
implemented" occurs).

In our environment the following versions of Ceilometer components have
been installed:

2013.2.2:
ceilometer-agent-central
ceilometer-alarm-evaluator
ceilometer-alarm-notifier
ceilometer-api
ceilometer-collector
ceilometer-common
python-ceilometer

1:1.0.5:
python-ceilometerclient

Br,
-Juha
