Steps to reproduce:
1. Deploy environment with 3 controllers+mongo and 1 compute with enabled Ceilometer
2. ssh to controller node
3. Run command
# . openrc && ceilometer event-type-list

Expected result:
compute.instance.* event types are contained in output

Actual result:
Output contains only compute.instance.update event type:

but other compute.instance.* event types are defined in event _definitions.yaml:

Not a bug.

After making workaround we find out that events with types compute.instance.* are not obtained because there are no relevant notifications from nova. After new instance is created (or existed one deleted) we get notification with type 'compute.instance.update' and corresponding event is stored.

Nova send next notifications in rabbit after new instance is created:

Nova team, could you please take a look on this? The question is: why nova doesn't send notifications with event compute.nova.creation.* and compute.nova.deletion.* ? Instead, it sends compute.nova.update with appropriate "state_description" ?

I'm running MOS 7.0 GA and have the same issue. Any pointers as to how you solved it would be much appreciated...
