Hello,

I get an error "libvir:  error : name in virDomainLookupByName must not be
NULL" when trying to collect nova compute counters for VMs:

Problem seems to occur inside
ceilometer/compute/pollsters.py's _instance_name() method
where OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:instance_name can't be retrieved:

def _instance_name(instance):
    """Shortcut to get instance name."""

    # my modifications start
    LOG.debug("HEEHO _instance_name 1: " + str(instance))
    name = getattr(instance, 'OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:instance_name', None)
    LOG.debug("HEEHO _instance_name 2: " + str(name))
    # my modifications end

    return getattr(instance, 'OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:instance_name', None)

Log:

Any ideas what causes this behaviour? I have grizzly in use.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
