Bug Description

Hi all,

I am installing ceilometer on an OpenStack environment. When I am trying to run a compute agent using command #systemctl start openstack-ceilometer-compute.service, I got the following Unicode error and cannot get the resource usages. (I am using kilo version)

Is this a bug? Or there is some kind of library that I need to download?
Thank you so much for your help!

Can you please post the /etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf file here and also which version of OpenStack are you using and on what platform?.
