Safir Monitor Dashboard is an Openstack Horizon plugin developed to visualize the collected utilization data of the physical and virtual machines in the clouds. Safir Monitor Dashboard currently visualizes CPU, RAM, disc, incoming network and outgoing network utilization. Openstack Telemetry Service (Ceilometer) is used to collect the data from the cloud. Safir Monitor Dashboard uses Gnocchi api to get the collected data as of release v2.0.
.. sourcecode:: console
$ git clone http://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack -b stable/pike
$ cd devstack
$ wget -O local.conf https://github.com/b3lab/safir_monitor_dashboard/blob/master/local.conf?raw=true
Configure local.conf with host IP and set an admin password
.. sourcecode:: console
$ ./stack.sh
Then follow the Configuration steps
At least the following Openstack services are needed to use Safir Monitor Dashboard; Keystone, Nova, Glance, Neutron, Ceilometer, Aodh and Horizon.
.. sourcecode:: console
$ git clone https://github.com/b3lab/safir_monitor_dashboard.git
$ cd safir_monitor_dashboard
$ sudo pip install .
.. sourcecode:: console
$ cp monitor_dashboard/enabled/_* {HORIZON_DIR}/openstack_dashboard/local/enabled/
Then follow the Configuration steps
.. sourcecode:: cfg
AODH_ALARM_ACTIONS = ['<ALARM-SERVICE-URL>']
AODH_OK_ACTIONS = ['<ALARM-SERVICE-URL>']
MONITORING_INTERFACES = ['eth0', 'eth1']
.. sourcecode:: console
$ python {HORIZON_DIR}/manage.py collectstatic
$ python {HORIZON_DIR}/manage.py compress # if compress enabled
$ sudo service apache2 restart
.. sourcecode:: cfg
notify_on_state_change = vm_and_task_state
instance_usage_audit_period = hour
instance_usage_audit = True
compute_monitors = nova.compute.monitors.cpu.virt_driver
Configure Ceilometer service to collect utilization data as shown in the {SAFIR_MONITOR_DASHBOARD_DIR}/polling.yaml.example file
Install SNMP server to compute nodes to monitor them.
