Verify operation

Verify operation of the Telemetry service. These steps only include the Image service meters to reduce clutter. Environments with ceilometer integration for additional services contain more meters.

Note

Perform these steps on the controller node.

Note

The following uses Gnocchi to verify data. Alternatively, data can be published to a file backend temporarily by using a file:// publisher.

1. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

   $ . admin-openrc

2. List available resource and its metrics:

   $ gnocchi resource list  --type image

3. Download the CirrOS image from the Image service:

   $ IMAGE_ID=$(glance image-list | grep 'cirros' | awk '{ print $2 }')
   $ glance image-download $IMAGE_ID > /tmp/cirros.img

4. List available meters again to validate detection of the image download:

   $ gnocchi measures show 839afa02-1668-4922-a33e-6b6ea7780715
   +---------------------------+-------------+-----------+
   | timestamp                 | granularity |     value |

   +---------------------------+-------------+-----------+

5. Remove the previously downloaded image file /tmp/cirros.img:

   $ rm /tmp/cirros.img
