The service seems to be running for a few seconds after install but
than fails:

# systemctl status ceilometer-api.service
● ceilometer-api.service - OpenStack Ceilometer API
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ceilometer-api.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2017-04-26 18:29:45 CEST; 39s ago

  Process: 9503 ExecStartPre=/bin/chown ceilometer:ceilometer /var/lock/ceilometer /var/lib/ceilometer (code=exited,

 Main PID: 9509 (code=exited, status=2)

If I try running the failed command manually:

# /etc/init.d/ceilometer-api systemd-start
usage: ceilometer-api [-h] [--port PORT] -- [passed options]
ceilometer-api: error: unrecognized arguments: --config-file=/etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf --log-file=/var/log/ceilometer/ceilometer-api.log
# echo $?
2

So this is totally reproducible on my side :)
