This step is a prerequisite for the collector, notification agent and API services. You may use one of the listed database backends below to store Aodh data.
The recommended Aodh storage backend is any SQLAlchemy-supported database (PostgreSQL or MySQL). You need to create a aodh database first and then initialise it by running:
aodh-dbsync
To use MySQL as the storage backend, change the ‘database’ section in aodh.conf as follows:
[database]
connection = mysql+pymysql://username:password@host/aodh?charset=utf8
