monasca-ceilometer

Python plugin and storage driver for Ceilometer to send samples to monasca-api

Installation Instructions for setting up Ceilosca manually

To set up ceilosca automatically, read the instructions in deployer/README.md or use the included Vagrantfile

Assumes that an active monasca-api server is running.

1. Run devstack to get openstack installed.

2. Install python-monascaclient

   pip install python-monascaclient

3. Clone monasca-ceilometer from github.com.

   Copy the following files from ceilosca/ceilometer to devstack's ceilometer location typically at /opt/stack/ceilometer

   monasca_client.py
   storage/impl_monasca.py
   tests/api/v2/test_api_with_monasca_driver.py
   tests/storage/test_impl_monasca.py
   tests/test_monascaclient.py
   tests/publisher/test_monasca_publisher.py
   tests/publisher/test_monasca_data_filter.py
   publisher/monasca_data_filter.py
   publisher/monclient.py
   

4. Edit entry_points.txt

   Under [ceilometer.publisher] section add the following line:

   monasca = ceilometer.publisher.monclient:MonascaPublisher
   

   Under [ceilometer.metering.storage] section add the following line:

   monasca = ceilometer.storage.impl_monasca:Connection
   

5. Edit setup.cfg (used at the time of installation)

   Under 'ceilometer.publisher =' section add the following line:

   monasca = ceilometer.publisher.monclient:MonascaPublisher

   Under 'ceilometer.metering.storage =' section add the following line

   monasca = ceilometer.storage.impl_monasca:Connection

6. Configure /etc/ceilometer/pipeline.yaml to send the metrics to the monasca publisher. Use the included pipeline.yaml file as an example.

7. Configure /etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf for setting up storage driver for ceilometer API. Use the included ceilometer.conf file as an example.

8. Copy the included monasca_field_definitions.yml file to /etc/ceilometer.

   This file contains configuration how to treat each field in ceilometer sample object on per meter basis. The monasca_data_filter.py uses this file and only stores the fields that are specified in this config file.

9. Make sure the user specified under service_credentials in ceilometer.conf has monasca_user role added.

Other info

Since we don't have full repo of ceilometer, we setup the ceilometer repo in venv and copy monasca integration files in there, and run the unit tests over that code. At present this is tested against ceilometer stable/liberty branch, if you need to test against different branch you can change it in test-requirements.txt

Relevant files are: monasca_test_setup.py - determines the ceilometer venv path and copies the relevant files over tox.ini - calls the commands for setup and runs the tests test-requirements.txt - contains the dependencies required for testing
