Monasca is deprecated for removal. This change makes the Monasca client an optional dependency and ensures it is only imported and instantiated when the Monasca datasource is explicitly selected. This reduces the default footprint while preserving functionality for deployments that still rely on Monasca. What changed ============ - requirements.txt: remove python-monascaclient from hard deps - setup.cfg: add [options.extras_require] monasca extra - watcher/common/clients.py: lazy import with clear UnsupportedError - watcher/decision_engine/datasources/monasca.py: lazy client property and deferred import of monascaclient.exc; reset on Unauthorized - watcher/decision_engine/datasources/manager.py: unconditionally import Monasca helper and include in metric_map; helper is lazy - tests: conditionally include Monasca based on availability; adjust expectations instead of skipping by default; avoid over-mocking - tox.ini: enable optional extras via WATCHER_EXTRAS env var - docs: datasources index notes Monasca is deprecated and optional - releasenotes: upgrade note with install example and behavior Why === - Allow deployments not using Monasca to run without the client - Keep Monasca functional when explicitly installed via extras - Provide clear operator guidance and smooth upgrades Compatibility ============= - No change for deployments that do not use Monasca - Deployments using Monasca must install the optional extra: pip install watcher[monasca] Testing ======= - Default: tox -e py3 - With Monasca: WATCHER_EXTRAS=monasca tox -e py3 Assisted-By: GPT-5 (Cursor) Closes-Bug: #2120192 Change-Id: I7c02b74e83d656083ce612727e6da58761200ae4 Signed-off-by: Sean Mooney <work@seanmooney.info>

Add here a complete description of your strategy
Requirements
Metrics
- Write here the list of metrics required by your strategy algorithm (in the form
-
of a table). If these metrics requires specific Telemetry plugin or other additional software, please explain here how to deploy them (and add link to dedicated installation guide).
Example:
metric | service name | plugins | comment |
---|---|---|---|
compute.node.* vm.cpu.utilization_perc |
none none |
one point every 60s |
|
power | ceilometer | kwapi | one point every 60s |
Note
The Monasca datasource is deprecated for removal and optional. If a
strategy requires Monasca metrics, ensure the Monasca optional extra is
installed: pip install watcher[monasca]
.
Cluster data model
Default Watcher's cluster data model.
or
- If your strategy implementation requires a new cluster data model, please
-
describe it in this section, with a link to model plugin's installation guide.
Actions
Default Watcher's actions.
or
- If your strategy implementation requires new actions, add the list of Action
-
plugins here (in the form of a table) with a link to the plugin's installation procedure.
action | description |
---|---|
action1 | This action1 ... |
action2 | This action2 ... |
Planner
Default Watcher's planner.
or
- If your strategy requires also a new planner to schedule built actions in time,
-
please describe it in this section, with a link to planner plugin's installation guide.
Configuration
If your strategy use configurable parameters, explain here how to tune them.
Efficacy Indicator
Add here the Efficacy indicator computed by your strategy.
Algorithm
Add here either the description of your algorithm or link to the existing description.
