Bug Description
Description of the environment:
Ceilometer with mongodb as backend
Steps to reproduce:
run in production environment
Expected result:
* time_to_live is configured ( N seconds > 0 )
* ceilometer-expirer is enabled to wipe out outdated metrics from database
Actual result:
ceilometer-expirer is disabled
Workaround:
Set time_to_live option in ceilometer.conf
and activate cron periodic expirer task
Impact:
Ceilometer collects quite huge amounts of metrics which keep in the database forever
In fuel 7.0 this should be done using native mongodb feature (as it's support was introduced in early kilo upstream code).

There is currently no best practice solution and we are too close to release of 6.0 right now. So we are putting this into release notes.
In order to apply a fix, user needs to setup cron job for ceilomter-expirer script and change time_to_live parameter to desired value in ceilometer.conf. After that he will need to restart collector service on all the controllers:
On CentOS:
/etc/init.
On Ubuntu:
/etc/init.
But user should be aware that all the old data will still be created with old ttl value, so if he needs he will need to wipe the data himself.
