Ceilometer Sample Configuration File
====================================

Configure Ceilometer by editing /etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf.

No config file is provided with the source code, it will be created during
the installation. In case where no configuration file was installed, one
can be easily created by running::

    oslo-config-generator \
        --config-file=/etc/ceilometer/ceilometer-config-generator.conf \
        --output-file=/etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf

The following is a sample Ceilometer configuration for adaptation and use. It is
auto-generated from Ceilometer when this documentation is built, and can also be
viewed in `file form <_static/ceilometer.conf.sample>`_.
