Troubleshoot Telemetry
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Logging in Telemetry
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The Telemetry service has similar log settings as the other OpenStack
|
|
services. Multiple options are available to change the target of
|
|
logging, the format of the log entries and the log levels.
|
|
|
|
The log settings can be changed in :file:`ceilometer.conf`. The list of
|
|
configuration options are listed in the logging configuration options
|
|
table in the `Telemetry
|
|
section <http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/config-reference/content/ch_configuring-openstack-telemetry.html>`__
|
|
in the *OpenStack Configuration Reference*.
|
|
|
|
By default ``stderr`` is used as standard output for the log messages.
|
|
It can be changed to either a log file or syslog. The ``debug`` and
|
|
``verbose`` options are also set to false in the default settings, the
|
|
default log levels of the corresponding modules can be found in the
|
|
table referred above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recommended order of starting services
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As it can be seen in `Bug
|
|
1355809 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/devstack/+bug/1355809>`__, the wrong
|
|
ordering of service startup can result in data loss.
|
|
|
|
When the services are started for the first time or in line with the
|
|
message queue service restart, it takes time while the
|
|
**ceilometer-collector** service establishes the connection and joins or
|
|
rejoins to the configured exchanges. Therefore, if the
|
|
**ceilometer-agent-compute**, **ceilometer-agent-central**, and the
|
|
**ceilometer-agent-notification** services are started before
|
|
the **ceilometer-collector** service, the **ceilometer-collector** service
|
|
may lose some messages while connecting to the message queue service.
|
|
|
|
The possibility of this issue to happen is higher, when the polling
|
|
interval is set to a relatively short period. In order to avoid this
|
|
situation, the recommended order of service startup is to start or
|
|
restart the **ceilometer-collector** service after the message queue. All
|
|
the other Telemetry services should be started or restarted after and
|
|
the **ceilometer-agent-compute** should be the last in the sequence, as this
|
|
component emits metering messages in order to send the samples to the
|
|
collector.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notification agent
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
In the Icehouse release of OpenStack a new service was introduced to be
|
|
responsible for consuming notifications that are coming from other
|
|
OpenStack services.
|
|
|
|
If the **ceilometer-agent-notification** service is not installed and
|
|
started, samples originating from notifications will not be generated.
|
|
In case of the lack of notification based samples, the state of this
|
|
service and the log file of Telemetry should be checked first.
|
|
|
|
For the list of meters that are originated from notifications, see the
|
|
`Telemetry Measurements
|
|
Reference <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/measurements.html>`__.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recommended ``auth_url`` to be used
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When using the Telemetry command line client, the credentials and the
|
|
``os_auth_url`` have to be set in order for the client to authenticate
|
|
against OpenStack Identity. For further details
|
|
about the credentials that have to be provided see the `Telemetry Python
|
|
API <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-ceilometerclient/>`__.
|
|
|
|
The service catalog provided by OpenStack Identity contains the
|
|
URLs that are available for authentication. The URLs have
|
|
different ``port``\s, based on whether the type of the given URL is
|
|
``public``, ``internal`` or ``admin``.
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Identity is about to change API version from v2 to v3. The
|
|
``adminURL`` endpoint (which is available via the port: ``35357``)
|
|
supports only the v3 version, while the other two supports both.
|
|
|
|
The Telemetry command line client is not adapted to the v3 version of
|
|
the OpenStack Identity API. If the ``adminURL`` is used as
|
|
``os_auth_url``, the :command:`ceilometer` command results in the following
|
|
error message:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ ceilometer meter-list
|
|
Unable to determine the Keystone version to authenticate with \
|
|
using the given auth_url: http://10.0.2.15:35357/v2.0
|
|
|
|
Therefore when specifying the ``os_auth_url`` parameter on the command
|
|
line or by using environment variable, use the ``internalURL`` or
|
|
``publicURL``.
|
|
