Ceilometer Snap

This repository contains the source code of the snap for the OpenStack Data Collection service, Ceilometer.

Installing this snap

The ceilometer snap can be installed directly from the snap store:

sudo snap install [--edge] ceilometer

Snaps run in an AppArmor and seccomp confined profile, so don't read configuration from /etc/ceilometer on the hosting operating system install.

This snap supports configuration via the $SNAP_COMMON writable area for the snap:

etc
├── ceilometer
│   ├── ceilometer.conf
└── ceilometer.conf.d
    └── ceilometer-snap.conf

The ceilometer daemons (api, collector, agent-notification, agent-central) can be configured in a few ways.

Firstly each daemon will detect and read etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf.

Alternatively all daemons will load all configuration files from etc/ceilometer.conf.d if needed.

For reference, $SNAP_COMMON is typically located under /var/snap/ceilometer/common.

Currently all snap binaries must be run as root; for example, to run the ceilometer-api binary use:

sudo ceilometer.manage

To restart all ceilometer services:

sudo systemctl restart snap.ceilometer.*

or use the individual service name:

sudo systemctl restart snap.ceilometer.api
sudo systemctl restart snap.ceilometer.agent-central

Simply clone this repository and then install and run snapcraft:

git clone https://github.com/openstack-snaps/snap-ceilometer
sudo apt install snapcraft
cd snap-ceilometer
snapcraft
