ceilometer resource-list and ceilometer meter-list raise exception because of wrong resource_id type

[zhangjialong]

I got an exception when i execute ceilometer resource-list and ceilometer meter-list.

The follows are log of error:

2014-02-17 10:41:11.753 27899 ERROR wsme.api [-] Server-side error: "resource_id: Wrong type. Expected '
<type 'unicode'>', got '<type 'int'>'". Detail:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise ValueError("%s: %s" % (self.name, e))

ValueError: resource_id: Wrong type. Expected '<type 'unicode'>', got '<type 'int'>'

Then, i found the data in mongodb like this:
{
  "_id" : ObjectId("5301768f594c106d138ad958"),
  "counter_name" : "ip.floating",
  "user_id" : null,
  "message_signature" : "dc1b2936c40e222fdb1c697902e6d9ca6f723def78c4bff75839e00fe346fcb3",
  "timestamp" : ISODate("2014-02-17T02:40:15.914Z"),
  "resource_id" : 11,
  "resource_metadata" : {
    "pool" : "nova",
    "address" : "192.168.7.11"
  },
  "source" : "openstack",
  "counter_unit" : "ip",
  "counter_volume" : 1,
  "project_id" : null,
  "message_id" : "d527eede-977c-11e3-96c6-c83a35d203f9",
  "counter_type" : "gauge"
}

I`m sure this error occured because of the resource_id .

The version of ceilometer i used is havana.

what's the cli command you are using?

[zhangjialong (zhangjl)]

I used the commands like follows

ceilometer meter-list

ceiloleter resource-list

[Zhenshi Zhou (joker-zhou)]

I have the same issue on Centos-6.3 with ceilometer-2013.2.1 and python-ceilometercilent-1.0.8

[Koteswara Rao Kelam (koti-kelam)]

I am also facing this issue in my ceilometer icehouse GA setup. If I uninstall mongodb and install it again then it started working fine.
# ceilometer meter-list
WARNING (http:172) Request returned failure status.
HTTPBadRequest (HTTP 400)

In ceilometer-api.log I can see following warning. Did you root caused this issue and have the solution? I can see the defect status as “Traiged” in Launchpad.

In my openstack, if i reinstall mongodb, ceilometer can run well just a minute and then go bad . The temporary solution i used is to delete the floatingip but it is not the perfect. I tried to find better but faild

[Liusheng (liusheng)]

How to reproduce this issue? this bug only exist in icehouse? in my devstack(with mongodb as storage backend), I can't reproduce:(

[zhangjialong (zhangjl)]

@Liusheng, Sorry for late reply. If you want to reproduce, please use nova-network ,and add floating ips. Then maybe, you can find the error above. By the way , the version of openstack i used is havana.

@Koteswara Rao Kelam (koti-kelam)
when run 'ceilometer meter-list' and 'ceilometer resource-list':
 WARNING wsme.api [-] Client-side error: Invalid input for field/attribute resource_id. Value: 'True'. Wrong type. Expected '<type 'unicode'>', got '<type 'bool'>'
my openstack is icehouce. Is it the problem of mongodb?

[gordon chung (chungg)]

i believe the issue is more that the resource_id is an int but we expect a string.

[Ananya Chatterjee (ananya23d)]

I am unable to reproduce this bug in Liberty. No such error in api.log
