[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#829396: ceilometer-common: ceilometer.conf contain hardcoded MongoDB connection setting

[Turbo Fredriksson]

Package: ceilometer-common
Version: 1:6.0.0-2
Severity: normal

The default ceilometer.conf comes with the setting

    connection=mongodb://localhost:27017/ceilometer

which means that the installation will hang on installation
if installing on a host which don't run MongoDB (I have that
on my DB/Controller node).

Please create some debconf template question for allowing
to seed this.


At the moment, I had to resort to some ugly iptables rules
to forward localhost:27017 to mongodb-server:27017 and then
remove it after package installation.
