Installation

Installation Using Devstack

To enable Gnocchi in devstack, add the following to local.conf:

enable_plugin gnocchi https://github.com/openstack/gnocchi master

To enable Grafana support in devstack, you can also enable `gnocchi-grafana`:

enable_service gnocchi-grafana

Then, you can start devstack:

./stack.sh

Installation

To install Gnocchi using pip, just type:

pip install gnocchi

Depending on the drivers and features you want to use, you need to install extra variants using, for example:

pip install gnocchi[postgresql,ceph,keystone]

This would install PostgreSQL support for the indexer, Ceph support for storage, and Keystone support for authentication and authorization.

The list of variants available is:

  • keystone – provides Keystone authentication support
  • mysql - provides MySQL indexer support
  • postgresql – provides PostgreSQL indexer support
  • swift – provides OpenStack Swift storage support
  • ceph – provides common part of Ceph storage support
  • ceph_recommended_lib – provides Ceph (>=0.80) storage support
  • ceph_alternative_lib – provides Ceph (>=10.1.0) storage support
  • file – provides file driver support
  • doc – documentation building support
  • test – unit and functional tests support

To install Gnocchi from source, run the standard Python installation procedure:

pip install -e .

Again, depending on the drivers and features you want to use, you need to install extra variants using, for example:

pip install -e .[postgresql,ceph,ceph_recommended_lib]

Ceph requirements

Gnocchi leverages omap API of librados, but this is available in python binding only since python-rados >= 9.1.0. To handle this, Gnocchi uses 'cradox' python library which has exactly the same API but works with Ceph >= 0.80.0.

If Ceph and python-rados are >= 9.1.0, cradox python library becomes optional but is still recommended.

Initialization

Once you have configured Gnocchi properly (see configuration), you need to initialize the indexer and storage:

gnocchi-upgrade

Upgrading

In order to upgrade from a previous version of Gnocchi, you need to make sure that your indexer and storage are properly upgraded. Run the following:

  1. Stop the old version of Gnocchi API server and gnocchi-statsd daemon
  2. Stop the old version of gnocchi-metricd daemon
  3. Install the new version of Gnocchi
  4. Run gnocchi-upgrade This can take several hours depending on the size of your index and storage.
  5. Start the new Gnocchi API server, gnocchi-metricd and gnocchi-statsd daemons
