• Download your private SSH key (heat_monasca_2019.pem) from here.

• Change permissions

  chmod 600 heat_monasca_2019.pem

• SSH to your instance

  ssh -i heat_monasca_2019.pem ubuntu@<your_instance_ip>

• Pull the latest changes

  cd monasca-autoscaling
  git checkout -- .    # dont miss the . (dot) at end
  git pull

• Start Monasca services

  cd scripts
  ./start_services.sh
  

For Windows users

• You can use your favorite SSH client.

• We recommend Git BASH, BASH emulator with SSH client.

For PuTTY users

• Set the private key for authentication in Connection -> SSH -> Auth. Choose heat_monasca_2019.ppk as your private key.

• Remember to save the session settings.

Agenda

• Monasca Introduction
• Heat Introduction
• Assignments Playbook

Running the playbook on your own

You will require:

• Ubuntu Linux 18.04

• and follow the setup procedure

Troubleshooting

Check if all services are running fine

systemctl list-units | grep devstack OR systemctl list-units | grep failed

All services should be in 'running' state, if not restart them

LOGS: journalctl -u devstack@n-cpu.service

In case services reporting AMQP errors

CHECK: sudo rabbitmqctl list_users

if there is NO stackrabbit user then:

sudo rabbitmqctl add_user stackrabbit secretrabbit
sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions stackrabbit '.*' '.*' '.*'
sudo rabbitmqctl list_vhosts
sudo rabbitmqctl add_vhost nova_cell1
sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p nova_cell1 stackrabbit '.*' '.*' '.*'
sudo systemctl restart devstack@*

Monasca Services not running

CHECK: ~/monasca-autoscaling/scripts/list_services.sh

~/monasca-autoscaling/scripts/stop_services.sh ~/monasca-autoscaling/scripts/start_services.sh

Check server can be launched

CHECK: openstack server create --debug --image cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-disk --network private --flavor m1.nano --security-group testvm --wait vm1

FAILURE: "message": "Host 'YOUR-HOSTNAME' is not mapped to any cell", "code": 400

sudo hostname localhost
sudo sed -i "s/$HOSTNAME/localhost/g"  /etc/hosts

sudo systemctl restart devstack@*
~/monasca-autoscaling/scripts/stop_services.sh
~/monasca-autoscaling/scripts/start_services.sh

Network connectivity issues within the host:

CHECK: openstack network agent list

All agents should be up, if not:

systemctl restart devstack@q-dhcp.service 
systemctl restart devstack@q-agt.service 

CHECK: ip netns list

there should be two qdhcp namespaces, if you have atleast one instnace
