Bug Description

Based on the ceilometer install guide for ubuntu, the installation fails on several points.

The guide asks the user to install gnocchi-api but the service is not created on ubuntu. An addition is needed to clarify how this can be fixed. I had the exact same problem over 3 years ago and it is still not addressed.

The coordination_url does not work and returns an error that the connection was refused. The guide also tells the user to put it in [storage] when it should be in [DEFAULT] section. Redis is not installed in the guide but the endpoint requires redis. No information on how to configure this. Thread coordination does not work based on the guide. I had to comment it out but then it floods the logs with entries about thread contention.

The guide asks to edit /etc/ceilometer/pipeline.yaml but it does not exist and needs to be created instead.

The guide does not mention panko but the ceilometer notification agent log returns an error saying that panko is not found.

Ceilometer verification steps return a blank line in the terminal because almost all ceilometer services are in failed state because of the errors mentioned above.

This bug tracker is for errors with the documentation, use the following as a template and remove or add fields as you see fit. Convert [ ] into [x] to check boxes:

- [x] This doc is inaccurate in this way: ___In every way. Ubuntu does not install gnocchi-api service so it cannot be restarted, ceilometer-agent-notification complains about missing Panko, gnocchi coordination url requests redis but the guide does not install it and even when installed it fails to open the port___
- [ ] This is a doc addition request.
- [ ] I have a fix to the document that I can paste below including example: input and output.
