default polling interval not compatible with gnocchi retention periods

[James Page]

The default polling interval in older ceilometer releases (600s) is not compatible with the low archive policy in gnocchi (300s); newer ceilometer releases have switched to 300s.

Hello James, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ceilometer into ocata-proposed. The package will build now and be available in the Ubuntu Cloud Archive in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. To enable the -proposed repository:

  sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:ocata-proposed
  sudo apt-get update

Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-ocata-needed to verification-ocata-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-ocata-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
