Getting Started

Plugin retrieves statistics using Nova Compute v2 Rest API.

System Requirements

Operating systems

All OSs currently supported by snap:

  • Linux/amd64

Installation

Download OpenStack Nova plugin binary:

You can get the pre-built binaries for your OS and architecture at plugins's GitHub Releases page. Download the plugins package from the latest release, unzip and store in a path you want snaptel to access.

To build the plugin binary:

Fork https://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap-plugin-collector-nova

Clone repo into $GOPATH/src/github.com/intelsdi-x/:

$ git clone https://github.com/<yourGithubID>/snap-plugin-collector-nova.git

Build the plugin by running make within the cloned repo:

$ make

This builds the plugin in ./build/

Configuration and Usage

Configuration for this plugin is given via global config. Global configuration files are described in snap's documentation. You have to add section "nova-compute" in "collector" section and then specify following options:

  • "openstack_user" - user name used to authenticate (ex. "admin"),
  • "openstack_pass"- password used to authenticate (ex. "admin"),
  • "openstack_tenant" - tenant name used to authenticate (ex. "admin"),
  • "openstack_auth_url" - keystone url (ex. "http://172.16.0.5:5000/v2.0/").

These values should correspond to values given in nova.conf:

  • "allocation_ratio_cores" - oversubscription ratio for vcpus, used to derive some metrics for hypervisors (ex. 1.5),
  • "allocation_ratio_ram" - oversubscription ratio for memory, used to derive some metrics for hypervisors (ex. 3),
  • "reserved_node_cores" - reserved virtual cores, used to derive some metrics for hypervisors (ex. 2),
  • "reserved_node_ram_mb" - reserved virtual memory, used to derive some metrics for hypervisors (ex. 2048).

Example global configuration file for snap-plugin-collector-nova plugin (exemplary file in [examples/cfg/] (examples/cfg/)):

{
    "control": {
        "plugins": {
            "collector": {
                "nova-compute": {
                  "all": {
                    "openstack_auth_url": "http://localhost:5000/v2.0/",
                    "openstack_user": "admin",
                    "openstack_pass": "admin",
                    "openstack_tenant": "admin",
                    "allocation_ratio_cores" : 1.5,
                    "allocation_ratio_ram": 3,
                    "reserved_node_cores" : 2,
                    "reserved_node_ram_mb" : 2048
                  }
                }
            },
            "publisher": {},
            "processor": {}
        }
    }
}

Documentation

Collected Metrics

List of collected metrics is described in METRICS.md.

Examples

Example running nova collector and writing data to a file.

Create or download example global config on snapteld's node:

mkdir -p /etc/snap/
curl -sfLO https://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap-plugin-collector-nova/blob/master/examples/cfg/cfg.json -o /etc/snap/snapteld.conf

Ensure snap daemon is running:

  • initd: sudo service snap-telemetry start
  • systemd: sudo systemctl start snap-telemetry
  • command line: sudo snapteld -l 1 -t 0 &

Download and load snap plugins:

$ wget http://snap.ci.snap-telemetry.io/plugins/snap-plugin-collector-nova/latest/linux/x86_64/snap-plugin-collector-nova
$ wget http://snap.ci.snap-telemetry.io/plugins/snap-plugin-publisher-file/latest/linux/x86_64/snap-plugin-publisher-file
$ snaptel plugin load snap-plugin-collector-nova
$ snaptel plugin load snap-plugin-publisher-file

See available metrics for your system

$ snaptel metric list

Download an example task file and load it:

$ curl -sfLO https://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap-plugin-collector-nova/blob/master/examples/tasks/task.json
$ snaptel task create -t task.json
