===================
OSprofiler in Kolla
===================
Overview
~~~~~~~~
OSProfiler provides a tiny but powerful library that is used by most
(soon to be all) OpenStack projects and their corresponding python clients
as well as the Openstack client.
It provides functionality to generate 1 trace per request, that goes
through all involved services. This trace can then be extracted and used
to build a tree of calls which can be quite handy for a variety of reasons
(for example in isolating cross-project performance issues).
Configuration on Kolla deployment
---------------------------------
Enable ``OSprofiler`` in ``/etc/kolla/globals.yml`` file:
.. code-block:: yaml
enable_osprofiler: "yes"
enable_elasticsearch: "yes"
.. end
Verify operation
----------------
Retrieve ``osprofiler_secret`` key present at ``/etc/kolla/passwords.yml``.
Profiler UUIDs can be created executing OpenStack clients (Nova, Glance,
Cinder, Heat, Keystone) with ``--profile`` option or using the official
Openstack client with ``--os-profile``. In example to get the OSprofiler trace
UUID for :command:`openstack server create` command.
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack --os-profile <OSPROFILER_SECRET> server create \
--image cirros --flavor m1.tiny --key-name mykey \
--nic net-id=${NETWORK_ID} demo
.. end
The previous command will output the command to retrieve OSprofiler trace.
.. code-block:: console
$ osprofiler trace show --html <TRACE_ID> --connection-string \
elasticsearch://<api_interface_address>:9200
.. end
