multi region support --os-region-name doesnt work

[Tomer Shtilman]

In multi region setup the --os-region-name does not work

we have a keystone with two regions R1 R2
these are two ceilometer endpoints ( one endpoint for each region)

| 014f8b3d93f04275b73c37cca6a03557 | R2 | http://135.248.18.161:8777/ | http://135.248.18.161:8777/ | http://135.248.18.161:8777/ | 1d1cf2b896d7459eb874e4877b3b92df |

the following command using --os-region-name returns an empty list
 ceilometer --os-tenant-name=demo --os-region-name=R2 meter-list -q 'resource=989d53f5-2244-45c8-8b74-ecd979fd59ac'
+------+------+------+-------------+---------+------------+
| Name | Type | Unit | Resource ID | User ID | Project ID |
+------+------+------+-------------+---------+------------+
+------+------+------+-------------+---------+------------+

if we change the command to use ceilomoter url (the same as the one in keystone) instead of the the region name the correct data is returned

ceilometer --os-tenant-name=demo --ceilometer-url http://135.248.18.161:8777/ meter-list -q 'resource=989d53f5-2244-45c8-8b74-ecd979fd59ac'

what version are you using?

does this patch https://github.com/openstack/python-ceilometerclient/commit/bfb6d122fa99d94a61aea4432f74cbbf3f5d03cc fix your issue?

[Tomer Shtilman (tomer-shtilman)]

working on devstack master
stack@tshtilma-devstack-r1:~$ ceilometer --version
1.0.13
will pull the newest code and retry

[gordon chung (chungg)]

just an update. it was backported to 1.0.14 (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/175516/)

it will probably only be usable against kilo though.

[Tomer Shtilman (tomer-shtilman)]

check with updated ceilometer client seems like issue is fixed
thanks
