Install and configure

This section describes how to install and configure the Telemetry service, code-named ceilometer, on the controller node. The Telemetry service collects measurements from most OpenStack services and optionally triggers alarms.

Prerequisites

Before you install and configure the Telemetry service, you must create a database, service credentials, and API endpoints. However, unlike other services, the Telemetry service uses a NoSQL database. See environment-nosql-database to install and configure MongoDB before proceeding further.

obs or ubuntu or debian

  1. Create the ceilometer database:

    # mongo --host controller --eval '
  db = db.getSiblingDB("ceilometer");
  db.addUser({user: "ceilometer",
  pwd: "CEILOMETER_DBPASS",
  roles: [ "readWrite", "dbAdmin" ]})'

MongoDB shell version: 2.4.x
connecting to: controller:27017/test
{
 "user" : "ceilometer",
 "pwd" : "72f25aeee7ad4be52437d7cd3fc60f6f",
 "roles" : [
  "readWrite",
  "dbAdmin"
 ],
 "_id" : ObjectId("5489c22270d7fad1ba631dc3")
}

    Replace CEILOMETER_DBPASS with a suitable password.

    Note

    If the command fails saying you are not authorized to insert a user, you may need to temporarily comment out the auth option in the /etc/mongodb.conf file, restart the MongoDB service using systemctl restart mongodb, and try calling the command again.

rdo

  1. Create the ceilometer database:

    # mongo --host controller --eval '
  db = db.getSiblingDB("ceilometer");
  db.createUser({user: "ceilometer",
  pwd: "CEILOMETER_DBPASS",
  roles: [ "readWrite", "dbAdmin" ]})'

MongoDB shell version: 2.6.x
connecting to: controller:27017/test
Successfully added user: { "user" : "ceilometer", "roles" : [ "readWrite", "dbAdmin" ] }

    Replace CEILOMETER_DBPASS with a suitable password.

  1. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

    $ . admin-openrc

  2. To create the service credentials, complete these steps:

    • Create the ceilometer user:

      $ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt ceilometer
User Password:
Repeat User Password:
+-----------+----------------------------------+
| Field     | Value                            |
+-----------+----------------------------------+
| domain_id | e0353a670a9e496da891347c589539e9 |
| enabled   | True                             |
| id        | c859c96f57bd4989a8ea1a0b1d8ff7cd |
| name      | ceilometer                       |
+-----------+----------------------------------+

    • Add the admin role to the ceilometer user.

      $ openstack role add --project service --user ceilometer admin

      Note

      This command provides no output.

    • Create the ceilometer service entity:

      $ openstack service create --name ceilometer \
  --description "Telemetry" metering
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| Field       | Value                            |
+-------------+----------------------------------+

| enabled     | True                             |
| id          | 5fb7fd1bb2954fddb378d4031c28c0e4 |
| name        | ceilometer                       |
| type        | metering                         |
+-------------+----------------------------------+

  3. Create the Telemetry service API endpoints:

    $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
  metering public http://controller:8777
+--------------+----------------------------------+
| Field        | Value                            |

| url          | http://controller:8777           |
