Overview
This document describes the Monasca API v2.0, which supports Monitoring as a Service (MONaaS). The Monasca API provides a RESTful JSON interface for interacting with and managing monitoring related resources.
The API consists of six main resources:
- Versions - Provides information about the supported versions of the API.
- Metrics - Provides for storage and retrieval of metrics.
- Measurements - Operations for querying measurements of metrics.
- Statistics - Operations for evaluating statistics of metrics.
- Notification Methods - Represents a method, such as email, which can be associated with an alarm definition via an action. When an alarm is triggered notification methods associated with the alarm definition are triggered.
- Alarm Definitions - Provides CRUD operations for alarm definitions.
- Alarms - Provides CRUD operations for alarms, and querying the alarm state history.
Before using the API, you must first get a valid auth token from Keystone. All API operations require an auth token specified in the header of the http request.
Metric Name and Dimensions
A metric is uniquely identified by a name and set of dimensions.
Name
Defines the name of a metric. A name is of type string(255).
Dimensions
A dictionary of (key, value) pairs. The key and value are of type string(255). The first character in the dimension is restricted to the following: a-z A-Z 0-9 _ / \ $
.
However, the next characters may be any character except for the following: ; } { = , & ) ( "
. If one of the restricted characters is needed, this can be achieved by double quoting the dimensions.
Text Representation
In this document, metrics will be represented in the form name{name=value,name=value}
where name is the metric name and the name=value pairs in the curly braces are the dimensions. For example, cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=mini-mon}
represents a metric with the name "cpu.idle_perc" and the dimensions "service=monitoring" and "hostname=mini-mon".
Alarm Definitions and Alarms
Alarm Definitions are policies that specify how Alarms should be created. By using Alarm Definitions, the user doesn't have to create individual alarms for each system or service. Instead, a small number of Alarm Definitions can be managed and Monasca will create Alarms for systems and services as they appear.
An Alarm Definition has an expression for evaluating one or more metrics to determine if there is a problem. Depending on the Alarm Definition expression and match_by value, Monasca will create one or more Alarms depending on the Metrics that are received. The match_by parameter specifies which dimension or dimensions should be used to determine if one or more alarms will be created.
An example is the best way to show this. Imagine two Alarm Definitions have been created:
Alarm Definition 1 has an expression of avg(cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring}) < 20
and the match_by parameter is not set. Alarm Definition 2 has an expression of min(cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring}) < 10
and the match_by parameter is set to hostname
.
When the metric cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=mini-mon} is first received after the Metric Definitions have been created, an Alarm is created for both Alarm Definitions. The metric is added to both Alarms. The following set of Alarm Definitions and Alarm would exist:
Alarm Definition 1:
Alarm 1 - Metrics: cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=mini-mon}
Alarm Definition 2:
Alarm 1 - Metrics: cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=mini-mon}
Now, when the metric cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=devstack} is received, the two Alarm Definitions define different behaviors. Since the value for the hostname dimension is different than the value for the existing Alarm from Alarm Definition 2, an new Alarm will be created. Alarm Definition 1 does not have a value for match_by, so this metric is added to the existing Alarm. This gives us the following set of Alarm Definitions and Alarms:
Alarm Definition 1:
Alarm 1 - Metrics: cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=mini-mon} and cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=devstack}
Alarm Definition 2:
Alarm 1 - Metrics: cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=mini-mon}
Alarm 2 - Metrics: cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=devstack}
Alarm Definition 1 is evaluating the status of the monitoring service as a whole, while Alarm Definition 2 evaluates each system in the service.
Now if another system is configured into the monitoring service, then its cpu.idle_perc metric will be added to the Alarm for Alarm Definition 1 and a new Alarm will be created for Alarm Definition 2, all without any user intervention. The system will be monitored without requiring the user to explicitly add alarms for the new system as other monitoring systems require.
If an Alarm Definition expression has multiple subexpressions, for example, avg(cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring}) < 10 or avg(cpu.user_perc{service=monitoring}) > 60
and a match_by value set, then the metrics for both subexpressions must have the same value for the dimension specified in match_by. For example, assume this Alarm Definition:
Expression avg(cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring}) < 10 or avg(cpu.user_perc{service=monitoring}) > 60
and match_by is hostname
Now assume four metrics are received by Monasca:
cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=mini-mon}
cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=devstack}
cpu.user_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=mini-mon}
cpu.user_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=devstack}
This will cause two Alarms to be created, one for each unique value of hostname. One Alarm will have the metrics:
avg(cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=mini-mon}) and avg(cpu.user_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=mini-mon})
and another will have the metrics:
avg(cpu.idle_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=devstack}) and avg(cpu.user_perc{service=monitoring,hostname=devstack})
Note that the value of match_by, "hostname", is used to match the metrics between the subexpressions, hence the name match_by.
An Alarm will only get created when metrics are seen that match all subexpressions in the Alarm Definition. If match_by is set, then each metric must have a value for at least one of the values in match_by. If match_by is not set, only one Alarm will be created for an Alarm Definition.
The value of the match_by parameter can also be a list, for example, hostname,device
. In that case, Alarms will be created based and metrics added based on all values of match_by.
For example, assume the Alarm Definition with the expression max(disk.space_used_perc{service=monitoring}) > 90
and match_by set to hostname
. This will create one alarm for each system that contains all of the metrics for each device. If instead, the match_by is set to hostname,device
, then a separate alarm will be created for each device in each system.
To illustrate, assume these four metrics are received by Monasca:
disk.space_used_perc{device:/dev/sda1,hostname=mini-mon}
disk.space_used_perc{device:tmpfs,hostname=mini-mon}
disk.space_used_perc{device:/dev/sda1,hostname=devstack}
disk.space_used_perc{device:tmpfs,hostname=devstack}
Given the expression max(disk.space_used_perc{service=monitoring}) > 90
and match_by set to hostname
, this will create two alarms:
Alarm 1 - Metrics: disk.space_used_perc{device:/dev/sda1,hostname=mini-mon}, disk.space_used_perc{device:tmpfs,hostname=mini-mon}
Alarm 2 - Metrics: disk.space_used_perc{device:/dev/sda1,hostname=devstack}, disk.space_used_perc{device:tmpfs,hostname=devstack}
If instead, match_by is set to hostname,device
, then four alarms will be created:
Alarm 1 - Metrics: disk.space_used_perc{device:/dev/sda1,hostname=mini-mon}
Alarm 2 - Metrics: disk.space_used_perc{device:tmpfs,hostname=devstack}
Alarm 3 - Metrics: disk.space_used_perc{device:/dev/sda1,hostname=devstack}
Alarm 4 - Metrics: disk.space_used_perc{device:tmpfs,hostname=devstack}
The second value of match_by will create an Alarm for each device. For each device that fills up, a separate Alarm will be triggered. The first value of match_by will give you less Alarms to display in the dashboard but if an Alarm has already triggered for one device and another device fills up, the Alarm won't be triggered again.
If desired, an Alarm Definition can be created that exactly matches a set of metrics. The match_by should not be set. Only one Alarm will be created for that Alarm Definition.
Alarms have a state that is set by the Threshold Engine based on the incoming metrics. The states are: UNDETERMINED - No metrics for at least one of the subexpressions has been received in (period + 2) times periods (see below for definition of period and periods OK - Metrics have been received and the Alarm Definition Expression evaluates to false for the given metrics ALARM - Metrics have been received and the Alarm Definition Expression evaluates to true for the given metrics
The Alarms are evaluated and their state is set once per minute.
Alarm Definition Expressions
The alarm definition expression syntax allows the creation of simple or complex alarm definitions to handle a wide variety of needs. Alarm expressions are evaluated every 60 seconds.
An alarm expression is a boolean equation which if it evaluates to true with the incoming metrics, will then trigger a notification to be sent.
Syntax
At the highest level, you have an expression, which is made up of one or more subexpressions, joined by boolean operators. Parenthesis can be used around groups of subexpressions to indicated higher precedence. In a BNF style format where items enclosed in [] are optional, '*' means zero or more times, and '|' means or.
<expression>
::= <subexpression> [(and | or) <subexpression>]*
More formally, taking boolean operator precedence into account, where 'and' has higher precedence than 'or', results in the following.
<expression>
::= <and_expression> <or_logical_operator> <expression>
| <and_expression>
<and_expression>
::= <sub_expression> <and_logical_operator> <and_expression>
| <sub_expression>
Each subexpression is made up of several parts with a couple of options:
<sub_expression>
::= <function> '(' <metric> [',' period] ')' <relational_operator> threshold_value ['times' periods]
| '(' expression ')'
Period must be an integer multiple of 60. The default period is 60 seconds.
The logical_operators are: and
(also &&
), or
(also ||
).
<and_logical_operator> ::= 'and' | '&&'
<or_logical_operator> ::= 'or' | '||'
A metric can be a metric name only or a metric name followed by a list of dimensions. The dimensions further qualify the metric name.
<metric>
::= metric_name
| metric_name '{' <dimension_list> '}'
Any number of dimensions can follow the metric name.
<dimension_list>
::= <dimension>
| <dimension> ',' <dimension_list>
A dimension is simply a key-value pair.
<dimension>
::= dimension_name '=' dimension_value
The relational_operators are: lt
(also <
), gt
(also >
), lte
(also <=
), gte
(also >=
).
<relational_operator>
::= 'lt' | '<' | 'gt' | '>' | 'lte' | '<=' | 'gte' | '>='
The list of available statistical functions include the following.
<function>
::= 'min' | 'max' | 'sum' | 'count' | 'avg'
where 'avg' is the arithmetic average. Note, threshold values are always in the same units as the metric that they are being compared to.
Simple Example
In this example the metric uniquely identified with the name cpu.system_perc
and dimension hostname=host.domain.com
is compared to the threshold 95.
cpu.system_perc{hostname=host.domain.com} > 95
More Complex Example
In this example the average of the same metric as in the previous example is evaluated over a 120 second period for 3 times so that the expression will evaluate to true if the average is greater than 95 for a total of 360 seconds.
avg(cpu.system_perc{hostname=host.domain.com}, 120) > 95 times 3
Note that period is the number of seconds for the measurement to be done on. They can only be in a multiple of 60. Periods is how many times in a row that this expression must be true before triggering the alarm. Both period and periods are optional and default to 60 and 1 respectively.
Functions work on all metric measurements during the period time frame.
- min (returns the minimum of all the values)
- max (returns the maximum of all the values)
- sum (returns the sum of all the values)
- count (returns the number of metric observations)
- avg (returns the average of all the values)
The metric is a complex identifier that says the name and optional dimensions.
Compound alarm example
In this example a compound alarm expression is evaluated involving two thresholds.
avg(cpu.system_perc{hostname=hostname.domain.com}) > 90 or avg(disk_read_ops{hostname=hostname.domain.com, device=vda}, 120) > 1000
Changing Alarm Definitions
Once an Alarm Definition has been created, the value for match_by and any metrics in the expression cannot be changed. This is because those fields control the metrics used to create Alarms and Alarms may already have been created. The function, operator, period, periods and any boolean operators can change, but not the metrics in subexpressions or the number of subexpressions. All other fields in an Alarm Definition can be changed.
The only option to change metrics or match_by is to delete the existing Alarm Definition and create a new one. Deleting an Alarm Definition will delete all Alarms associated with it.
