ceilometer event publisher not working with file driver

[cristi1979]

It seems I can't use the file publisher for events

This is the event_pipeline.yaml file:

        ---
        sources:
        - name: event_source
            events:
            - "*"
            sinks:
            - event_sink
        sinks:
        - name: event_sink
            publishers:
            # - notifier://?topic=alarm.all
            - file:///var/log/ceilometer/cucu.log

And the error I get in ceilometer:

Is this suppose to work? Can I get an answer to this?

[James Page (james-page)]

No I don't think this is mean't to work:

ceilometer.event.publisher =
    test = ceilometer.publisher.test:TestPublisher
    notifier = ceilometer.publisher.messaging:EventNotifierPublisher
    http = ceilometer.publisher.http:HttpPublisher
    https = ceilometer.publisher.http:HttpPublisher
    gnocchi = ceilometer.publisher.gnocchi:GnocchiPublisher
    zaqar = ceilometer.publisher.zaqar:ZaqarPublisher

'file' is not listed as a entry point for the event publisher in Ceilometer

[James Page (james-page)]

However file is for sample; this gets configured in pipeline.yaml rather than event_pipeline.yaml

[Shamika Joshi (shamikajsh)]

I am trying to configure the file publisher for sample. Can anyone suggest a proper pipeline.yaml structure that should be used. I am using the entire sample pipeline.yaml available at: https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/config-reference/telemetry/samples/pipeline.yaml.html

Also, would there be any other additional steps to configure the file publisher?
