About this repository

This set of playbooks will deploy InfluxDB, Telegraf, Grafana and Kapacitor for the purpose of collecting metrics on an OpenStack cluster.

Process

Clone the OPS repo

cd /opt
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/openstack-ansible-ops

Copy the env.d files into place

cd openstack-ansible-ops/cluster_metrics
cp etc/env.d/cluster_metrics.yml /etc/openstack_deploy/env.d/

Add the export to update the inventory file location

export ANSIBLE_INVENTORY=/opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks/inventory/dynamic_inventory.py

If you are running the HA Proxy you should run the following playbook as well to enable the grafana port 8089

openstack-ansible playbook-metrics-lb.yml

Create the containers

openstack-ansible /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks/lxc-containers-create.yml -e container_group=cluster-metrics

Install InfluxDB

openstack-ansible playbook-influx-db.yml

Clone the Telegraf repo

git clone https://github.com/mgrzybek/openstack-ansible-telegraf /etc/ansible/roles/openstack-ansible-telegraf

Install Influx Telegraf

If you wish to install telegraf and point it at a specific target, or list of targets, set the telegraf_output_influxdb_targets variable in the user_variables.yml file as a list containing all targets that telegraf should ship metrics to.

openstack-ansible playbook-influx-telegraf.yml --forks 100

Install grafana

If you're proxy'ing grafana you will need to provide the full root_path when you run the playbook add the following -e grafana_root_url='https://cloud.something:8443/grafana/'

openstack-ansible playbook-grafana.yml -e galera_root_user=root -e galera_address='127.0.0.1'

Once that last playbook is completed you will have a functioning InfluxDB, Telegraf, and Grafana metric collection system active and collecting metrics. Grafana will need some setup, however functional dashboards have been provided in the grafana-dashboards directory.

Install Kapacitor

openstack-ansible playbook-kapacitor.yml

OpenStack Swift PRoxy Server Dashboard

Once the telegraf daemon is installed onto each host, the Swift proxy-server can be instructed to forward statsd metrics to telegraf. The following configuration enabled the metric generation and need to be added to the user_variables.yml:

swift_proxy_server_conf_overrides:
  DEFAULT:
    log_statsd_default_sample_rate: 10
    log_statsd_metric_prefix: "{{ inventory_hostname }}.swift"
    log_statsd_host: localhost
    log_statsd_port: 8125

Rewrite the swift proxy server configuration with :

cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
openstack-ansible os-swift-setup.yml --tags swift-config --forks 2
