Logging and monitoring
======================
OpenStack clouds require appropriate monitoring platforms to catch and
manage errors.
.. note::
We recommend leveraging existing monitoring systems to see if they
are able to effectively monitor an OpenStack environment.
Specific meters that are critically important to capture include:
* Image disk utilization
* Response time to the Compute API
Logging and monitoring does not significantly differ for a multi-site OpenStack
cloud. The tools described in the `Logging and monitoring chapter
<http://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ops/content/logging_monitoring.html>`__ of
the Operations Guide remain applicable. Logging and monitoring can be provided
on a per-site basis, and in a common centralized location.
When attempting to deploy logging and monitoring facilities to a centralized
location, care must be taken with the load placed on the inter-site networking
links.
