.. include:: install-base-prereq-common.inc

Install and configure components

1. Install the packages:

   .. code-block:: console

      # zypper install openstack-ceilometer-agent-notification \
        openstack-ceilometer-agent-central python-ceilometerclient

.. include:: install-base-config-common.inc

Finalize installation
---------------------

#. Start the Telemetry services and configure them to start when the
   system boots:

   .. code-block:: console

      # systemctl enable openstack-ceilometer-agent-notification.service \
        openstack-ceilometer-agent-central.service
      # systemctl start openstack-ceilometer-agent-notification.service \
