Currently, Ceilometer checks the state of Neutron FWaaS firewalls and does not generate samples if they have unknown status, leaving a warning in the Ceilometer logs. There are two major issues with this: * It makes visibility of resources with unknown/invalid state worse, since samples are not being generated for affected resources at all. * Downstream rating/billing services such as CloudKitty prefer to know everything about as many resources as possible, so business logic can be implemented around that information. Sometimes resources should be billed even if they are in unknown/error state, because they still consume resources. This patch changes the network.services.firewall pollster to always sample all found firewalls. For resources with unknown status or status None, the sample volume is set to -1. This lines FWaaS polling up with the changes previously made for floating IPs and VPNaaS [1]. FWaaS was not done as at the time FWaaS polling was deprecated.
