Configuring the Monitoring (monasca) agent (optional)¶
Note
This feature is experimental at this time and it has not been fully production tested yet.
The Monasca Agent is a modern Python monitoring agent for gathering metrics and sending them to the Monasca API. The Agent supports collecting metrics from a variety of sources.
The Agent is extensible through configuration of additional check and setup plugins, written in Python.
Configuring target hosts¶
Modify /etc/openstack_deploy/conf.d/monasca.yml by adding a list of
monasca-agent-infra_hosts, containing all the hosts that needs to
be monitored:
In monasca.yml:
[...] monasca-agent-infra_hosts: infra01: ip: INFRA01_IP_ADDRESS infra02: ip: INFRA02_IP_ADDRESS infra03: ip: INFRA03_IP_ADDRESS
Replace *_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address of the br-mgmt container
management bridge on each target host.
Setting up monasca-agent¶
Build the monasca-agent packages/virtual environment (if not built already) and run its playbook:
# cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks # openstack-ansible repo-build.yml # openstack-ansible os-monasca-agent-install.yml
Plugins¶
By default the monasca-agent role configures the following plugins:
- apache
- ceph
