Louie KWAN 76b7dd04c0 Introspective Instance Monitoring through QEMU Guest Agent
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/masakari/+spec/introspective-instance-monitoring

Currently, Masakari instance monitoring is strictly black-box
type monitoring through qemu and libvirt. There are however
a number of internal instance/VM faults, that if monitored and detected
by Masakari, could be recovered by existing Masakari auto-recovery
mechanisms; increasing the overall availability of the instance/VM. This
blueprint introduces the capability of performing introspective instance
monitoring of VMs, in order to detect, report and optionally recover VMs
from internal VM faults. Specifically, VM Heartbeating Monitoring via
the QEMU Guest Agent.

Discussed at openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org, SamP and others, from
Masakari point of view, iim notification is an instance event.  Because
there is something wrong within the VM, Masakari can reuse the same
recovery workflow for instance failures by stop and start etc.

To integrate the notification to masakari engine, one option is to
add a new event within the INSTANCE_EVENTS defined at
masakari/engine/instance_events.py.

Masakari

Virtual Machine High Availability (VMHA) service for OpenStack

Masakari provides Virtual Machine High Availability (VMHA) service for OpenStack clouds by automatically recovering the KVM-based Virtual Machine(VM)s from failure events such as VM process down, provisioning process down, and nova-compute host failure. It also provides API service for manage and control the automated rescue mechanism.

NOTE: Use masakari only if instance path is configured on shared storage system i.e, 'instances_path' config option of nova has a path of shared directory otherwise instance data will be lost after the evacuation of instance from failed host if, * instance is booted from image * flavor using ephemeral disks is used

Configure masakari-api

1. Create masakari user: $ openstack user create --password-prompt masakari (give password as masakari)

2. Add admin role to masakari user: $ openstack role add --project service --user masakari admin

3. Create new service: $ openstack service create --name masakari --description "masakari high availability" masakari

4. Create endpoint for masakari service: $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne masakari --publicurl http://<ip-address>:<port>/v1/%(tenant_id)s --adminurl http://<ip-address>:<port>/v1/%(tenant_id)s --internalurl http://<ip-address>:<port>/v1/%(tenant_id)s

5. Clone masakari using $ git clone https://github.com/openstack/masakari.git

6. Run setup.py from masakari $ sudo python setup.py install

  1. Create masakari directory in /etc/
  2. Copy masakari.conf, api-paste.ini and policy.json file from masakari/etc/ to /etc/masakari folder

9. To run masakari-api simply use following binary: $ masakari-api

Configure masakari database

  1. Create 'masakari' database
  2. After running setup.py for masakari '$ sudo python setup.py install'

    run 'masakari-manage' command to sync the database $ masakari-manage db sync
