+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1050213 +++ The code for receiving and processing qpid messages runs in its own greenthread. Unfortunately, there is a code path that if it raises an exception, the greenthread will die silently, without any entry in the log file. In particular, the code in question is: https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/nova/tree/nova/openstack/common/rpc/impl_qpid.py?h=stable/grizzly#n468 if self.session.next_receiver() raises an exception other than qpid's Empty or ConnectionError exceptions, the thread will die and no more messages will be received. The fix is to backport the portion of the following change that applies to impl_qpid. That includes the new decorator in excutils and the change to impl_qpid.py.
The change that needs to be backported is: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/32235/13 I also attached a version of the backport for nova to bug 1050213
Fix proposed upstream to stable/grizzly: https://review.openstack.org/67838 (for completeness only, without the expectation that it will land as that branch is restricted now to security fixes)
Backport proposed to internal gerrit: https://code.engineering.redhat.com/gerrit/#/c/18581/
Verified: 1) retry decorator is in place /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ceilometer/openstack/common/rpc/impl_qpid.py 2) Package Installed Packages Name : python-ceilometer Arch : noarch Version : 2013.1.4 Release : 2.el6ost
