Install the python-ceilometerclient package on your Object Storage proxy server: # apt-get install python-ceilometerclient # yum install python-ceilometerclient # zypper install python-ceilometerclient To retrieve object store statistics, the Telemetry service needs access to Object Storage with the ResellerAdmin role. Give this role to your os_username user for the os_tenant_name tenant: $ keystone role-create --name ResellerAdmin +----------+----------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +----------+----------------------------------+ | id | 462fa46c13fd4798a95a3bfbe27b5e54 | | name | ResellerAdmin | +----------+----------------------------------+ $ keystone user-role-add --tenant service --user ceilometer \ --role 462fa46c13fd4798a95a3bfbe27b5e54 You must also add the Telemetry middleware to Object Storage to handle incoming and outgoing traffic. Add these lines to the /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf file: [filter:ceilometer] use = egg:ceilometer#swift Add ceilometer to the pipeline parameter of that same file: [pipeline:main] pipeline = healthcheck cache authtoken keystoneauth ceilometer proxy-server Add the system user swift to the system group ceilometer to give Object Storage access to the ceilometer.conf file. # usermod -a -G ceilometer swift Add ResellerAdmin to the operator_roles parameter of that same file: operator_roles = Member,admin,swiftoperator,_member_,ResellerAdmin Restart the service with its new settings: # service swift-proxy restart # service openstack-swift-proxy restart
