If fully second Emilien's suggestions.  As a quick note, I'd like to
level set your expectation as Ceilometer is metering tool, not a full
billing tool.  A full billing solution needs 3 components:

- Metering: to know what has happened on the cloud
- Rating: which transforms what has happened into price to bill (line items)
- Billing: which accumulates line items and create a bill to send to
customer and collect money

Which means that you will still need component 2 and 3 to do billing
after you have deployed Ceilometer.

Hope this helps.
Nick
