Install and configure for Ubuntu

This section describes how to install and configure the Telemetry service, code-named ceilometer, on the controller node.

Prerequisites

Before you install and configure the Telemetry service, you must configure a target to send metering data to. The recommended endpoint is Gnocchi.

Install Gnocchi

  1. Install the Gnocchi packages. Alternatively, Gnocchi can be install using pip:

    # apt-get install gnocchi-api gnocchi-metricd python-gnocchiclient

    Note

    Depending on your environment size, consider installing Gnocchi separately as it makes extensive use of the cpu.

Finalize Gnocchi installation

  1. Restart the Gnocchi services:

    # service gnocchi-api restart
    # service gnocchi-metricd restart

Install and configure components

  1. Install the ceilometer packages:

    # apt-get install ceilometer-agent-notification \
      ceilometer-agent-central

Finalize installation

  1. Restart the Telemetry services:

    # service ceilometer-agent-central restart
    # service ceilometer-agent-notification restart
