This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2092088 Ceilometer-agent-compute could be started on compute nodes before libvirt populated the corresponding directories under /var/run/libvirt which will cause ceilometer to fail to collect virt mertrics. I observe this behavior on a recent OSP16.2 deployment where ceilometer fails to collect virt metrics for instances. Error that I see in ceilometer compute log file: 2022-05-29 16:59:40.289 15 DEBUG ceilometer.compute.virt.libvirt.utils [-] Connecting to libvirt: qemu:///system new_libvirt_connection /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ceilometer/compute/virt/libvirt/utils.py:87 2022-05-29 16:59:40.290 15 DEBUG ceilometer.polling.manager [-] Skip loading extension for perf.cache.misses: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': Permission denied _catch_extension_load_error /usr/lib/python3.6/sit Restarting ceilometer_agent_compute container solves the problem. python3-ceilometer-13.1.3-2.20210802103828.20756c9.el8ost.noarch openstack-ceilometer-common-13.1.3-2.20210802103828.20756c9.el8ost.noarch openstack-ceilometer-polling-13.1.3-2.20210802103828.20756c9.el8ost.noarch openstack-ceilometer-compute-13.1.3-2.20210802103828.20756c9.el8ost.noarch
