Terminates replicator if RabbitMQ connection dropped
Audience: Operator
Component: replicator

Previously a dropped connection could lead to a state where the app does not recover the connection to RabbitMQ again after a failure. This fix terminates the app and relies on a external watchdog like Cloudfoundry or Docker restart policy to restart the replicator app again.

The GITC_PW prefix for project names and identifiers is now set automatically by the system.

Harmonize nova server "active" values
Audience: Operator
Component: billing
Description
Some OpenStack deployments deliver inconsistent values for the "active" trait of a server. meshStack metering will now harmonize these values to produce consistent results. Affected, non-finalized tenant usage reports will be automatically re-calculated.
