Telemetry uses a combination of notifications and an agent to collect Compute meters. Perform these steps on each compute node. Install the packages: # apt-get install ceilometer-agent-compute # yum install openstack-ceilometer-compute python-ceilometerclient python-pecan # zypper install openstack-ceilometer-agent-compute Edit the /etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf file and complete the following actions: In the [publisher] section, configure the telemetry secret: [publisher] ... telemetry_secret = TELEMETRY_SECRET Replace TELEMETRY_SECRET with the telemetry secret you chose for the Telemetry module. In the [DEFAULT] and [oslo_messaging_rabbit] sections, configure RabbitMQ message queue access: [DEFAULT] ... rpc_backend = rabbit [oslo_messaging_rabbit] ... rabbit_host = controller rabbit_userid = openstack rabbit_password = RABBIT_PASS Replace RABBIT_PASS with the password you chose for the openstack account in RabbitMQ. In the [keystone_authtoken] section, configure Identity service access: [keystone_authtoken] ... auth_uri = http://controller:5000/v2.0 identity_uri = http://controller:35357 admin_tenant_name = service admin_user = ceilometer admin_password = CEILOMETER_PASS Replace CEILOMETER_PASS with the password you chose for the Telemetry module database. Comment out any auth_host, auth_port, and auth_protocol options because the identity_uri option replaces them. In the [service_credentials] section, configure service credentials: [service_credentials] ... os_auth_url = http://controller:5000/v2.0 os_username = ceilometer os_tenant_name = service os_password = CEILOMETER_PASS os_endpoint_type = internalURL os_region_name = RegionOne Replace CEILOMETER_PASS with the password you chose for the ceilometer user in the Identity service. (Optional) To assist with troubleshooting, enable verbose logging in the [DEFAULT] section: [DEFAULT] ... verbose = True Configure the Compute service to send notifications to the message bus. Edit the /etc/nova/nova.conf file and configure notifications in the [DEFAULT] section: [DEFAULT] ... instance_usage_audit = True instance_usage_audit_period = hour notify_on_state_change = vm_and_task_state notification_driver = messagingv2 Restart the agent: # service ceilometer-agent-compute restart Start the Telemetry agent and configure it to start when the system boots: # systemctl enable openstack-ceilometer-agent-compute.service # systemctl start openstack-ceilometer-agent-compute.service Start the Telemetry agent and configure it to start when the system boots: # systemctl enable openstack-ceilometer-compute.service # systemctl start openstack-ceilometer-compute.service Restart the Compute service: # service nova-compute restart # systemctl restart openstack-nova-compute.service
