Ceilometer Invalid input for field/attribute max

[George]

I am using the following charm versions:
cs:trusty/ceilometer-236
cs:trusty/cilometer-agent-232
OpenStack origin no both charms is cloud:trusty-liberty

When I tried to access http://horizon_url/horizon/admin/metering/ I got empty response.
Looking at the apache2 logs on the openstack-dashboard LXC I found multiple instances of the following error:

Finally after turning debug on ceilometer charm I found this error in the ceilometer-api.log

I found 2 OpenStack community bugs on this, and both fixes have been committed.

[James Page (james-page)]

Looks like bug 1532661; the Liberty UCA has Ceilometer 5.0.5 which should include the fixes to the stable/liberty branch upstream.

Unfortunately I can't tell which version of ceilometer you're using from this bug report - please could you confirm the version of the ceilometer-common package installed on your ceilometer units.

Either way, this is a ceilometer bug not a charm bug - so moving the target directly to the Ubuntu Cloud Archive.

Marking 'Incomplete' and 'Low' for now.
