This commit integrates functionality from the `openstack.common.report` module into Ceilometer. This enables Ceilometer services to receive SIGUSR1 and print a Guru Meditation Report to stderr or file. The required modules were added to 'openstack-common.conf' as well.

Guru Meditation Reports
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Ceilometer contains a mechanism whereby developers and system administrators
|
|
can generate a report about the state of a running Ceilometer executable. This
|
|
report is called a *Guru Meditation Report* (*GMR* for short).
|
|
|
|
Generating a GMR
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
A *GMR* can be generated by sending the *USR1* signal to any Ceilometer process
|
|
with support (see below). The *GMR* will then be outputted standard error for
|
|
that particular process.
|
|
|
|
For example, suppose that ``ceilometer-polling`` has process id ``8675``, and
|
|
was run with ``2>/var/log/ceilometer/ceilometer-polling.log``. Then,
|
|
``kill -USR1 8675`` will trigger the Guru Meditation report to be printed to
|
|
``/var/log/ceilometer/ceilometer-polling.log``.
|
|
|
|
Structure of a GMR
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The *GMR* is designed to be extensible; any particular executable may add its
|
|
own sections. However, the base *GMR* consists of several sections:
|
|
|
|
Package
|
|
Shows information about the package to which this process belongs, including
|
|
version information
|
|
|
|
Threads
|
|
Shows stack traces and thread ids for each of the threads within this process
|
|
|
|
Green Threads
|
|
Shows stack traces for each of the green threads within this process (green
|
|
threads don't have thread ids)
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
Lists all the configuration options currently accessible via the CONF object
|
|
for the current process
|
|
|
|
Adding Support for GMRs to New Executables
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Adding support for a *GMR* to a given executable is fairly easy.
|
|
|
|
First import the module (currently residing in oslo-incubator), as well as the
|
|
Ceilometer version module:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from oslo_reports import guru_meditation_report as gmr
|
|
from ceilometer import version
|
|
|
|
Then, register any additional sections (optional):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
TextGuruMeditation.register_section('Some Special Section',
|
|
some_section_generator)
|
|
|
|
Finally (under main), before running the "main loop" of the executable (usually
|
|
``service.server(server)`` or something similar), register the *GMR* hook:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
TextGuruMeditation.setup_autorun(version)
|
|
|
|
Extending the GMR
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
As mentioned above, additional sections can be added to the GMR for a
|
|
particular executable. For more information, see the inline documentation
|
|
about oslo.reports:
|
|
`oslo.reports <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/oslo.reports/>`_
