This section describes how to install and configure the Telemetry module, code-named ceilometer, on the controller node. The Telemetry module uses separate agents to collect measurements from each OpenStack service in your environment. Before you install and configure Telemetry, you must install MongoDB, create a MongoDB database, service credentials, and API endpoint. Enable the Open Build Service repositories for MongoDB based on your openSUSE or SLES version: On openSUSE: # zypper addrepo -f obs://server:database/openSUSE_13.2 Database On SLES: # zypper addrepo -f obs://server:database/SLE_12 Database The packages are signed by GPG key 562111AC05905EA8. You should verify the fingerprint of the imported GPG key before using it.

If you want to reduce the size of each journal file to 128 MB and limit total journal space consumption to 512 MB, assert the smallfiles key: smallfiles = true If you change the journaling configuration, stop the MongoDB service, remove the initial journal files, and start the service: # service mongodb stop # rm /var/lib/mongodb/journal/prealloc.* # service mongodb start You can also disable journaling. For more information, see the MongoDB manual. Restart the MongoDB service: # service mongodb restart Start the MongoDB services and configure them to start when the system boots: # systemctl enable mongodb.service # systemctl start mongodb.service # systemctl enable mongod.service # systemctl start mongod.service Create the ceilometer database: # mongo --host controller --eval ' db = db.getSiblingDB("ceilometer"); db.addUser({user: "ceilometer", pwd: "CEILOMETER_DBPASS", roles: [ "readWrite", "dbAdmin" ]})' MongoDB shell version: X.Y.Z connecting to: controller:27017/test { "user" : "ceilometer", "pwd" : "72f25aeee7ad4be52437d7cd3fc60f6f", "roles" : [ "readWrite", "dbAdmin" ], "_id" : ObjectId("5489c22270d7fad1ba631dc3") } Replace CEILOMETER_DBPASS with a suitable password. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands: $ source admin-openrc.sh To create the service credentials, complete these steps: Create the ceilometer user: $ keystone user-create --name ceilometer --pass CEILOMETER_PASS Replace CEILOMETER_PASS with a suitable password. Add the admin role to the ceilometer user. $ keystone user-role-add --user ceilometer --tenant service --role admin Create the ceilometer service entity: $ keystone service-create --name ceilometer --type metering \ --description "Telemetry" Create the Telemetry module API endpoint: $ keystone endpoint-create \ --service-id $(keystone service-list | awk '/ metering / {print $2}') \ --publicurl http://controller:8777 \ --internalurl http://controller:8777 \ --adminurl http://controller:8777 \ --region regionOne Before you install and configure Telemetry, you must install MongoDB. Install the MongoDB package: # apt-get install mongodb-server Edit the /etc/mongodb.conf file and complete the following actions: Configure the bind_ip key to use the management interface IP address of the controller node. bind_ip = 10.0.0.11 By default, MongoDB creates several 1 GB journal files in the /var/lib/mongodb/journal directory. If you want to reduce the size of each journal file to 128 MB and limit total journal space consumption to 512 MB, assert the smallfiles key: smallfiles = true If you change the journaling configuration, stop the MongoDB service, remove the initial journal files, and start the service: # service mongodb stop # rm /var/lib/mongodb/journal/prealloc.* # service mongodb start You can also disable journaling.

Restart the MongoDB service: # service mongodb restart Install the packages: # apt-get install ceilometer-api ceilometer-collector ceilometer-agent-central \ ceilometer-agent-notification ceilometer-alarm-evaluator ceilometer-alarm-notifier \ python-ceilometerclient # yum install openstack-ceilometer-api openstack-ceilometer-collector \ openstack-ceilometer-notification openstack-ceilometer-central openstack-ceilometer-alarm \ python-ceilometerclient # zypper install openstack-ceilometer-api openstack-ceilometer-collector \ openstack-ceilometer-agent-notification openstack-ceilometer-agent-central python-ceilometerclient \ openstack-ceilometer-alarm-evaluator openstack-ceilometer-alarm-notifier Generate a random value to use as the telemetry secret: $ openssl rand -hex 10 Edit the /etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf file and complete the following actions: In the [database] section, configure database access: [database] ... connection = mongodb://ceilometer:CEILOMETER_DBPASS@controller:27017/ceilometer Replace CEILOMETER_DBPASS with the password you chose for the Telemetry module database. You must escape special characters such as ':', '/', '+', and '@' in the connection string in accordance with RFC2396. In the [DEFAULT] section, configure RabbitMQ message broker access: [DEFAULT] ... rpc_backend = rabbit rabbit_host = controller rabbit_password = RABBIT_PASS Replace RABBIT_PASS with the password you chose for the guest account in RabbitMQ. In the [DEFAULT] and [keystone_authtoken] sections, configure Identity service access: [DEFAULT] ... auth_strategy = keystone [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 celiometer user in the Identity service. 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 Replace CEILOMETER_PASS with the password you chose for the ceilometer user in the Identity service. In the [publisher] section, configure the telemetry secret: [publisher] ... telemetry_secret = TELEMETRY_SECRET Replace TELEMETRY_SECRET with the telemetry secret that you generated in a previous step. In the [collector] section, configure the dispatcher: [collector] ... dispatcher = database (Optional) To assist with troubleshooting, enable verbose logging in the [DEFAULT] section: [DEFAULT] ... verbose = True Install the packages: # apt-get install ceilometer-api ceilometer-collector ceilometer-agent-central \ ceilometer-agent-notification ceilometer-alarm-evaluator ceilometer-alarm-notifier \ python-ceilometerclient Respond to prompts for database management, Identity service credentials, service endpoint registration, and message broker credentials. Generate a random value to use as the telemetry secret: $ openssl rand -hex 10 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 that you generated in a previous step. 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 Replace CEILOMETER_PASS with the password you chose for the ceilometer user in the Identity service.
