Plugins and Metrics

There are several plugins, mapping to each of the openstack components.

Find below a list of the available plugins and the metrics they publish.

• cinder_plugin
  • openstack-cinder.<tenant>.volumes.count (number of tenant volumes)
  • openstack-cinder.<tenant>.volumes.bytes (total bytes of tenant volumes)
  • openstack-cinder.<tenant>.volume-snapshots.count (number of tenant snapshots)
  • openstack-cinder.<tenant>.volume-snapshots.bytes (total bytes of tenant snapshots)
  • openstack-cinder.<tenant>.limites-{maxTotalVolumeGigabytes,maxTotalVolumes}
• glance_plugin
  • openstack-glance.<tenant>.images.count (number of tenant images)
  • openstack-glance.<tenant>.images.bytes (total bytes of tenant images)
• keystone_plugin
  • openstack-keystone.<tenant>.users.count (number of tenant users)
  • openstack-keystone.totals.tenants.count (total number of tenants)
  • openstack-keystone.totals.users.count (total number of users)
  • openstack-keystone.totals.services.count (total number of services)

  • openstack-nova.<hypervisor-hostname>.{current_workload,free_disk_gb,free_ram_mb,hypervisor_version, memory_mb,memory_mb_overcommit,memory_mb_overcommit_withreserve, memory_mb_used,running_vms,vcpus,vcpus_overcommit, vcpus_overcommit_withreserve,vcpus_used}

Requirements

It assumes an existing installation of collectd.

Check its documentation for details.

Setup and Configuration

The example configuration(s) below assume the plugins to be located under /usr/lib/collectd/plugins.

If you're under ubuntu, consider installing from this ppa.

Each plugin should have its own config file, under /etc/collectd/conf.d/<pluginname>.conf, which should follow some similar to:

# cat /etc/collectd/conf.d/keystone.conf

<LoadPlugin "python">
    Globals true
</LoadPlugin>

<Plugin "python">
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/collectd/plugins"

    Import "keystone_plugin"

    <Module "keystone_plugin">
        Username "admin"
        Password "123456"
        TenantName "openstack"
        AuthURL "https://api.example.com:5000/v2.0"
        Verbose "False"
    </Module>
</Plugin>

Puppet

If you use puppet for configuration, then try this excelent collectd module.

It has plenty of docs on how to use it, but for our specific plugins:

  collectd::plugin::python { 'keystone':
    modulepath => '/usr/lib/collectd/plugins',
    module     => 'keystone_plugin',
    config     => {
      'Username'   => 'admin',
      'Password'   => '123456',
      'TenantName' => 'openstack',
      'AuthURL'    => 'https://api1.example.com:5000/v2.0',
      'Verbose'    => 'true',
    },
  }

Additional Notes

Ubuntu Packaging

These instructions should give full details.

In summary, do this once to prepare your environment:

pbuilder-dist precise create

and for every release (from master):

mkdir /tmp/build-collectd-os
cd /tmp/build-collectd-os
wget https://github.com/catalyst/collectd-openstack/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
tar zcvf collectd-openstack-0.7.0.tar.gz collectd-openstack-master/
bzr dh-make collectd-openstack 0.7.0 collectd-openstack-0.7.0.tar.gz
cd collectd-openstack
bzr builddeb -S
cd ../build-area
pbuilder-dist precise build collectd-openstack_0.7.0-1ubuntu.dsc
dput ppa:catalystit/collectd ../collectd-openstack_0.7.0-1ubuntu_source.changes
