By default glance notifications are simply discarded (via the so-called noop notification strategy). So the first step is to ensure that these notifications are routed via the qpid AMQP provider instead:

 sudo openstack-config --set /etc/glance/glance-api.conf DEFAULT notifier_strategy qpid
 sudo service openstack-glance-api restart

Then use the ceilometer CLI to display the image.* meters:

Choose an image and download it:

 IMAGE_ID=$(glance image-list | awk '/ active / {print $2}' | head -1)
 glance image-download $IMAGE_ID | wc -c

Check that the corresponding image.download meter reflects the volume of image data downloaded:

 ceilometer sample-list -c image.download -r $IMAGE_ID

Then download again and note the availability of an additional sample point:

 glance image-download $IMAGE_ID > /dev/null
 ceilometer sample-list -c image.download -r $IMAGE_ID
