Matthew Kassawara 5ee72cfa36 [install] Fix various minor problems
Fix the following minor problems to reduce work after
stable/liberty branching:

1) RDO: Revert Python MySQL library from PyMySQL to MySQL-python
   due to lack of support for the former.
2) RDO: Explicitly install 'ebtables' and 'ipset' packages due
   to dependency problems.
3) General: Change numbered list to bulleted list for lists with
   only one item.
4) General: Restructure horizon content to match other services.
   More duplication of content, but sometimes RST conditionals
   are terrible and distro packages should use the same
   configuration files.
5) General: Restructure NoSQL content to match SQL content.
6) General: Improve clarity of NTP content.

Install and configure

This section describes how to install and configure the Telemetry service, code-named ceilometer, on the controller node. The Telemetry service collects measurements from most OpenStack services and optionally triggers alarms.

Prerequisites

Before you install and configure the Telemetry service, you must create a database, service credentials, and API endpoints. However, unlike other services, the Telemetry service uses a NoSQL database. See environment-nosql-database to install and configure MongoDB before proceeding further.

obs or ubuntu

  1. 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: 2.4.x
    connecting to: controller:27017/test
    {
     "user" : "ceilometer",
     "pwd" : "72f25aeee7ad4be52437d7cd3fc60f6f",
     "roles" : [
      "readWrite",
      "dbAdmin"
     ],
     "_id" : ObjectId("5489c22270d7fad1ba631dc3")
    }

    Replace CEILOMETER_DBPASS with a suitable password.

rdo

  1. Create the ceilometer database:

    # mongo --host controller --eval '
      db = db.getSiblingDB("ceilometer");
      db.createUser({user: "ceilometer",
      pwd: "CEILOMETER_DBPASS",
      roles: [ "readWrite", "dbAdmin" ]})'
    
    MongoDB shell version: 2.6.x
    connecting to: controller:27017/test
    Successfully added user: { "user" : "ceilometer", "roles" : [ "readWrite", "dbAdmin" ] }

    Replace CEILOMETER_DBPASS with a suitable password.

  1. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

    $ source admin-openrc.sh
  2. To create the service credentials, complete these steps:

    • Create the ceilometer user:

      $ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt ceilometer
      User Password:
      Repeat User Password:
      +-----------+----------------------------------+
      | Field     | Value                            |
      +-----------+----------------------------------+
      | domain_id | default                          |
      | enabled   | True                             |
      | id        | c859c96f57bd4989a8ea1a0b1d8ff7cd |
      | name      | ceilometer                       |
      +-----------+----------------------------------+
    • Add the admin role to the ceilometer user.

      $ openstack role add --project service --user ceilometer admin

      Note

      This command provides no output.

    • Create the ceilometer service entity:

      $ openstack service create --name ceilometer \
        --description "Telemetry" metering
      +-------------+----------------------------------+
      | Field       | Value                            |
      +-------------+----------------------------------+
      | description | Telemetry                        |
      | enabled     | True                             |
      | id          | 5fb7fd1bb2954fddb378d4031c28c0e4 |
      | name        | ceilometer                       |
      | type        | metering                         |
      +-------------+----------------------------------+
  3. Create the Telemetry service API endpoints:

    $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
      metering public http://controller:8777
    +--------------+----------------------------------+
    | Field        | Value                            |
