CloudKitty - Rating service guide
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
~~~~~~~~
|
||||
CloudKitty is the Openstack service used to rate your platform usage.
|
||||
As a rating service, CloudKitty does not provide billing services such as
|
||||
generating a bill to send to your customers every month.
|
||||
|
||||
However, it provides you the building bricks you can use to build your own
|
||||
billing service upon internally.
|
||||
|
||||
Because cloudkitty is a flexible rating service, it's highly customizable while
|
||||
still offering a generic approach to the rating of your platform.
|
||||
|
||||
It lets you choose which metrics you want to rate, from which datasource
|
||||
and where to finally store the processed rate of those resources.
|
||||
|
||||
This document will explain how to use the different features available and that
|
||||
Kolla Ansible supports.
|
||||
|
||||
See the :cloudkitty-doc:`CloudKitty documentation </>` for further information.
|
||||
|
||||
CloudKitty Collector backend
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
CloudKitty natively supports multiple collector backends.
|
||||
|
||||
By default Kolla Ansible uses the Gnocchi backend,
|
||||
however we also support using the following backend types:
|
||||
|
||||
- ``prometheus`` - Use Prometheus metrics as dataset for cloudkitty to process.
|
||||
- ``monasca`` - Use Openstack Monasca metrics as dataset for cloudkitty to
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration parameter related to this option is
|
||||
``cloudkitty_collector_backend``.
|
||||
|
||||
To use the Prometheus collector backend:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
cloudkitty_collector_backend: prometheus
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, to use the Monasca collector backend:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
cloudkitty_collector_backend: monasca
|
||||
|
||||
Cloudkitty Storage Backend
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
As for collectors, CloudKitty supports multiple backend to store ratings.
|
||||
By default, Kolla Ansible uses the InfluxDB based backend.
|
||||
|
||||
Another famous alternative is Elasticsearch and can be activated in Kolla
|
||||
Ansible using the ``cloudkitty_storage_backend`` configuration option in
|
||||
your ``globals.yml`` configuration file:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
cloudkitty_storage_backend: elasticsearch
|
||||
|
||||
You can only use one backend type at a time, selecting elasticsearch
|
||||
will automatically enable Elasticsearch deployment and creation of the
|
||||
required CloudKitty index.
