Configure the Object Storage service To retrieve storage-oriented events and samples, configure the Object Storage service to send notifications to the message bus. To configure prerequisites The Telemetry service requires access to the Object Storage service using the ResellerAdmin role. Perform these steps on the controller node. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands. $ source admin-openrc.sh Create the ResellerAdmin role: $ openstack role create ResellerAdmin +-------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-------+----------------------------------+ | id | 462fa46c13fd4798a95a3bfbe27b5e54 | | name | ResellerAdmin | +-------+----------------------------------+ Add the ResellerAdmin role to the service tenant and ceilometer user: $ openstack role add --project service --user ceilometer ResellerAdmin +-------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-------+----------------------------------+ | id | 462fa46c13fd4798a95a3bfbe27b5e54 | | name | ResellerAdmin | +-------+----------------------------------+ To configure notifications Perform these steps on the controller and any other nodes that run the Object Storage proxy service. Edit the /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf file and complete the following actions: In the [filter:keystoneauth] section, add the ResellerAdmin role: [filter:keystoneauth] ... operator_roles = admin,user,ResellerAdmin In the [pipeline:main] section, add ceilometer: [pipeline:main] ... pipeline = authtoken cache healthcheck keystoneauth proxy-logging ceilometer proxy-server In the [filter:ceilometer] section, configure notifications: [filter:ceilometer] ... paste.filter_factory = ceilometermiddleware.swift:filter_factory control_exchange = swift url = rabbit://openstack:RABBIT_PASS@controller:5672/ driver = messagingv2 topic = notifications log_level = WARN Replace RABBIT_PASS with the password you chose for the openstack account in RabbitMQ. Add the swift system user to the ceilometer system group to permit access to the Telemetry configuration files by the Object Storage service: # usermod -a -G ceilometer swift Install the ceilometermiddleware package: # pip install ceilometermiddleware Restart the Object Storage proxy service: # service swift-proxy restart # systemctl restart openstack-swift-proxy.service
