[Bug 1372792] [NEW] Inconsistent timestamp formats in ceilometer metering messages

 

Public bug reported:

The messages generated by neutron-metering-agent contain timestamps in a
different format than the other messages received through UDP from
ceilometer-agent-notification. This creates unnecessary troubles for
whoever is trying to decode the messages and do something useful with
them.

I particular, up to now, I found out about the timestamp field in the
bandwidth message.

They contain UTC dates (I hope), but there is no Z at the end, and they
contain a space instead of a T between date and time. In short, they are
not in ISO8601 as the timestamps in the other messages. I found out
about them because elasticsearch tries to parse them and fails, throwing
away the message.

This bug was filed against Ceilometer, but I have been redirected here:
