when I configure swift for ceilometer,　restart swift-proxy service failed. and I start it by myself:

root@controller:~# python /usr/bin/swift-init proxy-server start

swift-proxy.conf in Kilo:

[filter:ceilometer]
...
paste.filter_factory = ceilometermiddleware.swift:filter_factory

in Juno:

[filter:ceilometer]
use = egg:ceilometer#swift

and I couln't find ceilometermiddleware in my path,
in Kilo, I set this filter as the Juno, it works.

Please do not submit patches prior to bug triage/discussion/prioritization. A packaging problem appears to cause this issue, not an installation guide problem. While the installation guide contains some workarounds for packaging issues, it does not install software via methods other than the distribution package management tools because they often cause issues with the official packages. I suggest that we temporarily remove the ceilometer swift bits from the installation guide and raise bugs with the package maintainers.

[Haifeng.Yan (yanheven)]

Actually I don't think is a packaging problem, because swift-proxy service don't require ceilometermiddleware, we wouldn't add ceilometermiddleware to it's requirement list. Only when we want to add metering service to object service, we need ceilometermiddleware.

[Matt Kassawara (ionosphere80)]

Maybe the ceilometer packages should install it?

[Haifeng.Yan (yanheven)]

only swift-proxy node need it. but swift-proxy node don't need other ceilometer packages.

[Matt Kassawara (ionosphere80)]

How does Juno handle this module?

[Tom Fifield (fifieldt)]

I think to fix this, ceilometermiddleware probably needs its own package. I don't see any existing package providing this at the moment after a quick look at ubuntu repos.

As Haifeng notes, I don't think the dependencies for swift-proxy need to be updated. However, it should be possible to install this middleware using apt :)

I packages this for fedora. Here is the bug to get it upstream: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1230811

[gordon chung (chungg)]

zigo has updated ubuntu to include these packages.
