Usage

Once the OpenStack ZenPack is installed you can begin monitoring by going to the infrastructure screen and clicking the normal button for adding devices. You'll find a new option labeled, "Add OpenStack Endpoint (User)'".

Choose that option and you'll be presented with a dialog asking for the following inputs.

  1. Device To Create - non-empty, non-ip, non-dns, unique name to use for this device in Zenoss. See note below.
  2. Auth URL - A keystone URL, such as http://10.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/
  3. Username - Same username used to login to OpenStack web interface
  4. Password / API Key - Password to use
  5. Project/Tenant ID
  6. Region Name - choose the correct region from the drop-down.

Most of these parameters can be be found by going to "Your Account/API Access" in the OpenStack web interface, or from the corresponding environment variables for the OpenStack command line tools.

Once you click Add, Zenoss will contact the OpenStack API and discover servers, images and flavors. Once it is complete you'll find a new device in the OpenStack device class with the same name as the hostname or IP you entered into the dialog. Click into this new device to see everything that was discovered.

The following types of elements are discovered.

  • Servers
  • Images
  • Flavors

The following metrics are collected.

  • Total Servers and Servers by State
    • States: Active, Build, Rebuild, Suspended, Queue Resize, Prep Resize, Resize, Verify Resize, Password, Rescue, Reboot, Hard Reboot, Delete IP, Unknown, Other
  • Total Images and Images by State
    • States: Active, Saving, Preparing, Queued, Failed, Unknown, Other
  • Total Flavors

Status monitoring is performed on servers and images with the following mapping of state to Zenoss event severity.

Servers State to Severity Mapping: Reboot, Hard Reboot, Build, Rebuild, Rescue, Unknown == Critical: Resize == Error: Prep Resize, Delete IP == Warning: Suspended, Queue Resize, Verify Resize, Password == Info: Active == Clear

Images State to Severity Mapping: Failed, Unknown == Critical: Queued, Saving, Preparing == Info: Active == Clear

If you are also using Zenoss to monitor the guest operating system running within the server Zenoss will present the graphs for that operating system when the graphs option is chosen for the OpenStack server.
