Install and configure controller node
=====================================
This section describes how to install and configure the Telemetry
module, code-named ceilometer, on the controller node. The Telemetry
module uses separate agents to collect measurements from each OpenStack
service in your environment.
To configure prerequisites
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before you install and configure Telemetry, you must install ``MongoDB``,
create a MongoDB database, service credentials, and API endpoint.

1. Enable the Open Build Service repositories for MongoDB based on
your openSUSE or SLES version:
On openSUSE:
.. code-block:: console
# zypper addrepo -f obs://server:database/openSUSE_13.2 Database
On SLES:
.. code-block:: console
# zypper addrepo -f obs://server:database/SLE_12 Database
.. note::
The packages are signed by GPG key ``562111AC05905EA8``.
You should verify the fingerprint of the imported GPG key before
using it.

Install the MongoDB package:
.. code-block:: console
# zypper install mongodb
.. only:: rdo
1. Install the MongoDB package:
.. code-block:: console
# yum install mongodb-server mongodb
.. only:: ubuntu
1. Install the MongoDB package:
.. code-block:: console
# apt-get install mongodb-server mongodb-clients python-pymongo
.. only:: obs
2. Edit the :file:`/etc/mongodb.conf` file and complete the following
actions:
a. Configure the ``bind_ip`` key to use the management interface
IP address of the controller node.
.. code-block:: ini
:linenos:
bind_ip = 10.0.0.11
b. By default, MongoDB creates several 1 GB journal files
in the :file:`/var/lib/mongodb/journal` directory.
If you want to reduce the size of each journal file to
128 MB and limit total journal space consumption to 512 MB,
assert the ``smallfiles`` key:
.. code-block:: ini
:linenos:
smallfiles = true
You can also disable journaling. For more information, see the
`MongoDB manual `__.
c. Start the MongoDB services and configure them to start when
the system boots:
.. code-block:: console
# systemctl enable mongodb.service
# systemctl start mongodb.service
.. only:: rdo
.. The use of mongod, and not mongodb, in the below screen is intentional.
2. Edit the :file:`/etc/mongod.conf` file and complete the following
actions:
a. Configure the ``bind_ip`` key to use the management interface
IP address of the controller node.
.. code-block:: ini
:linenos:
bind_ip = 10.0.0.11
b. By default, MongoDB creates several 1 GB journal files
in the :file:`/var/lib/mongodb/journal` directory.

the system boots:
.. code-block:: console
# systemctl enable mongod.service
# systemctl start mongod.service
.. only:: ubuntu
2. Edit the :file:`/etc/mongodb.conf` file and complete the following
actions:
a. Configure the ``bind_ip`` key to use the management interface
IP address of the controller node.
.. code-block:: ini
:linenos:

128 MB and limit total journal space consumption to 512 MB,
assert the ``smallfiles`` key:
.. code-block:: ini
:linenos:
smallfiles = true
If you change the journaling configuration, stop the MongoDB
service, remove the initial journal files, and start the service:
.. code-block:: console
# service mongodb stop
# rm /var/lib/mongodb/journal/prealloc.*
# service mongodb start
You can also disable journaling. For more information, see the
`MongoDB manual `__.
c. Restart the MongoDB service:
.. code-block:: console
# service mongodb restart
.. only:: obs or ubuntu
3. Create the ``ceilometer`` database:
.. code-block:: console
# 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.
.. only:: rdo
3. Create the ``ceilometer`` database:
.. code-block:: console
# 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.
4. Source the ``admin`` credentials to gain access to admin-only
CLI commands:
.. code-block:: console
$ source admin-openrc.sh
5. To create the service credentials, complete these steps:
a. Create the ``ceilometer`` user:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack user create --password-prompt ceilometer
User Password:
Repeat User Password:
+----------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+----------+----------------------------------+
| email | None |
| enabled | True |
| id | b7657c9ea07a4556aef5d34cf70713a3 |
| name | ceilometer |
| username | ceilometer |
+----------+----------------------------------+
b. Add the ``admin`` role to the ``ceilometer`` user.
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack role add --project service --user ceilometer admin
+-------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------+----------------------------------+
| id | cd2cb9a39e874ea69e5d4b896eb16128 |
| name | admin |
+-------+----------------------------------+
c. Create the ``ceilometer`` service entity:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack service create --name ceilometer \
--description "Telemetry" metering
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| description | Telemetry |
| enabled | True |
| id | 3405453b14da441ebb258edfeba96d83 |
| name | ceilometer |
| type | metering |
+-------------+----------------------------------+
6. Create the Telemetry module API endpoint:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack endpoint create \
--publicurl http://controller:8777 \
--internalurl http://controller:8777 \
--adminurl http://controller:8777 \
--region RegionOne \
metering
+--------------+----------------------------------+

2. Generate a random value to use as the telemetry secret:
.. code-block:: console
$ openssl rand -hex 10
3. Edit the :file:`/etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf` file and complete
the following actions:
a. In the ``[database]`` section, configure database access:
.. code-block:: ini
:linenos:
[database]
...
connection = mongodb://ceilometer:CEILOMETER_DBPASS@controller:27017/ceilometer
Replace ``CEILOMETER_DBPASS`` with the password you chose for the
Telemetry module database. You must escape special characters such
as ':', '/', '+', and '@' in the connection string in accordance
with RFC2396.
b. In the ``[DEFAULT]`` and ``[oslo_messaging_rabbit]`` sections,
configure ``RabbitMQ`` message queue access:
.. code-block:: ini
:linenos:
[DEFAULT]
...
rpc_backend = rabbit
[oslo_messaging_rabbit]
...
rabbit_host = controller
rabbit_userid = openstack
rabbit_password = RABBIT_PASS
Replace ``RABBIT_PASS`` with the password you chose for the
``openstack`` account in ``RabbitMQ``.
c. In the ``[DEFAULT]`` and ``[keystone_authtoken]`` sections,
configure Identity service access:
.. code-block:: ini

admin_password = CEILOMETER_PASS
Replace ``CEILOMETER_PASS`` with the password you chose for
the ``celiometer`` user in the Identity service.
.. note::
Comment out any ``auth_host``, ``auth_port``, and ``auth_protocol``
options because the ``identity_uri`` option replaces them.
d. In the ``[service_credentials]`` section, configure service credentials:
.. code-block:: ini
:linenos:
[service_credentials]
...
os_auth_url = http://controller:5000/v2.0
os_username = ceilometer
os_tenant_name = service
os_password = CEILOMETER_PASS
os_endpoint_type = internalURL
os_region_name = RegionOne
Replace ``CEILOMETER_PASS`` with the password you chose for
the ``ceilometer`` user in the Identity service.
e. In the ``[publisher]`` section, configure the telemetry secret:
.. code-block:: ini
:linenos:
[publisher]
