[Bug 1885430] Please test proposed package

[Brian Murray]

Hello Pedro, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ceilometer into focal-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceilometer/1:14.0.0-0ubuntu0.20.04.3
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  Bionic/Stein - stable 20.05 charms
  Juju 2.7.6

  I am aware of: https://bugs.launchpad.net/charm-ceilometer-agent/+bug/1850846
  Decided to open a new bug since there was no activity on the previous one and it expired.

  After rebooting my cloud (rack-by-rack), I got into a situation where
  I could not collect memory.usage from VMs anymore.

  Looking into: openstack metric resource --type instance <ID>
  I could not see memory.usage there.

  Access to ceilometer-agent and I could see the services were on active/running status, but following log was present:
  Jun 27 22:34:09 sgdemr0114bp033 ceilometer-agent-compute[2244]: Deprecated: Option "logdir" from group "DEFAULT" is deprecated. Use option "log-dir" from group "DEFAULT".                                       
  Jun 27 22:34:09 sgdemr0114bp033 ceilometer-agent-compute[2244]: libvirt: XML-RPC error : Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': No such file or directory                               
  Jun 27 22:34:09 sgdemr0114bp033 ceilometer-agent-compute[2244]: message repeated 33 times: [ libvirt: XML-RPC error : Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': No such file or directory] 

  
  stat on that /var/run file shows me:
  stat /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro
    File: /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro
    Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   socket
  Device: 17h/23d Inode: 1289        Links: 1

  Change: 2020-06-27 22:34:11.010520529 +0000
   Birth: -

  
  So, I guess there is a race-condition here, where libvirt is opening the socket after ceilometer-agent-compute tried to reach out for it; which gives up and stop working.

  Restarting it restores memory.usage back to normal.

  However, I still cannot see all the metrics as shown in:
