Gnocchi uses oslo.db internally when mysql or PostgreSQL is used as the indexer backend. Expose oslo.db options so that users can customize some of these options for tunings. Change-Id: I248a7ab2287c8252478b25f020fc5e5f5e653813 |

Overview
The gnocchi module is a part of OpenStack, an effort by the OpenStack infrastructure team to provide continuous integration testing and code review for OpenStack and OpenStack community projects as part of the core software. The module itself is used to flexibly configure and manage the management service for OpenStack.
Module Description
Setup
What the gnocchi module affects:
- Gnocchi, the HTTP API to store metrics and index resources for OpenStack (OpenStack Datapoint Service).
Installing gnocchi
puppet module install openstack/gnocchi
Implementation
gnocchi
gnocchi is a combination of Puppet manifest and ruby code to delivery configuration and extra functionality through types and providers.
Types
gnocchi_config
The gnocchi_config provider is a children of the ini_setting provider. It allows one to write an entry in the /etc/gnocchi/gnocchi.conf file.
gnocchi_config { 'DEFAULT/debug' :
value => true,
}
This will write debug=true in the [DEFAULT] section.
name
Section/setting name to manage from gnocchi.conf
value
The value of the setting to be defined.
secret
Whether to hide the value from Puppet logs. Defaults to false.
ensure_absent_val
If value is equal to ensure_absent_val then the resource will behave as if ensure => absent was specified. Defaults to <SERVICE DEFAULT>
Limitations
Load balancing Gnocchi MySQL with HAProxy
Issue
MySQL client/server interaction causes an issue where the HAProxy server will keep a connection in TIME_WAIT. When Gnocchi is processing data it will generate a lot of connections to MySQL and exhaust all available tcp ports for a given IP address. If the HAProxy VIP is shared with other components, this can cause them to be unavailable too. Tuning of HAProxy instance is essential when using Gnocchi with a MySQL behind an HAProxy.
The sysctl parameters need tuning.
- net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse = 1
- net.core.somaxconn = 4096
- net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 60000
Additionally, HAProxy can be configured to use different source IP addresses on each backend to help further mitigate the issue.
