Install and configure for openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise

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. To enable Gnocchi, please see its install guide.

Install and configure components

1. Install the packages:

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

Finalize installation

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

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