Help with eventlet 0.26.1 and dnspython >= 2
by Thomas Goirand 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Hi, As you may know, eventlet is incompatible with dnspython >= 2.0.0.0rc1. See [1] for the details. However, Debian unstable has 2.0.0. Would there be some good soul willing to help me fix this situation? I would need a patch to fix this, but I'm really not sure how to start. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

[all]Introduction to venus which is the project of log management and has been contributed to the OpenStack community
by Liye Pang(逄立业) 10 Sep '21

10 Sep '21

Hello everyone, after feedback from a large number of operations and maintenance personnel in InCloud OpenStack, we developed the log management project “Venus” for the OpenStack projects and that has contributed to the OpenStack community. The following is an introduction to “Venus”. If there is interest in the community, we are interested in proposing it to become an official OpenStack project in the future. Background In the day-to-day operation and maintenance of large-scale cloud platform, the following problems are encountered： l Time-consuming for log querying while the server increasing to thousands. l Difficult to retrieve logs, since there are many modules in the platform, e.g. systems service, compute, storage, network and other platform services. l The large amount and dispersion of log make faults are difficult to be discovered. l Because of distributed and interaction between components of the cloud platform, and scattered logs between components, it will take more time to locate problems. About Venus According to the key requirements of OpenStack in log storage, retrieval, analysis and so on, we introduced Venus project, a unified log management module. This module can provide a one-stop solution to log collection, cleaning, indexing, analysis, alarm, visualization, report generation and other needs, which involves helping operator or maintainer to quickly solve retrieve problems, grasp the operational health of the platform, and improve the management capabilities of the cloud platform. Additionally, this module plans to use machine learning algorithms to quickly locate IT failures and root causes, and improve operation and maintenance efficiency. Application scenario Venus played a key role in the following scenarios： l Retrieval: Provide a simple and easy-to-use way to retrieve all log and the context. l Analysis: Realize log association, field value statistics, and provide multi-scene and multi-dimensional visual analysis reports. l Alerts：Convert retrieval into active alerts to realize the error finding in massive logs. l Issue location: Establish a chain relationship and knowledge graphs to quickly locate problems. Overall structure The architecture of log management system based on Venus and elastic search is as follows: Diagram 0: Architecture of Venus venus_api: API module，provide API、rest-api service. venus_manager: Internal timing task module to realize the core functions of the log system. Current progress The current progress of the Venus project is as follows: l Collection：Develop fluentd collection tasks based on collectd to read, filter, format and send plug-ins for OpenStack, operating systems, and platform services, etc. l Index：Dealing with multi-dimensional index data in elasticsearch, and provide more concise and comprehensive authentication interface to return query results. l Analysis：Analyzing and display the related module errors, Mariadb connection errors, and Rabbitmq connection errors. l Alerts：Develop alarm task code to set threshold for the number of error logs of different modules at different times, and provides alarm services and notification services. l Location：Develop the call chain analysis function based on global_requested series, which can show the execution sequence, time and error information, etc., and provide the export operation. l Management：Develop configuration management functions in the log system, such as alarm threshold setting, timing task management, and log saving time setting, etc. Application examples Two examples of Venus application scenarios are as follows. 1. The virtual machine creation operation was performed on the cloud platform and it was found that the virtual machine was not created successfully. First, we can find the request id of the operation and jump to the virtual machine creation call chain page. Then, we can query the calling process, view and download the details of the log of the call. 2. In the cloud platform, the error log of each module can be converted into alarms to remind the users. Further, we can retrieve the details of the error log and error log statistics. Next step The next step of the Venus project is as follows: * Collection：In addition to fluent, other collection plugins such as logstash will be integrated. * Analysis: Explore more operation and maintenance scenarios, and conduct statistical analysis and alarm on key data. * display: The configuration, analysis and alarm of Venus will be integrated into horizon in the form of plugin. * location: Form clustering log and construct knowledge map, and integrate algorithm class library to locate the root cause of the fault. Venus Project Registry Venus library: https://opendev.org/inspur/venus You can grab the source code using the following git command: git clone https://opendev.org/inspur/venus.git Venus Demo Youtu.be: <https://youtu.be/mE2MoEx3awM> https://youtu.be/mE2MoEx3awM

[Kolla][Kolla-Ansible] Ironic Node Cleaning Failed
by Anirudh Gupta 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

Hi Team, We have deployed 2 node kolla ansible *12.0.0* in order to deploy openstack *wallaby* release. We have also enabled ironic in order to provision the bare metal nodes. On each server we have 3 nics - *eno1* - OAM for external connectivity and endpoint's publicURL - *eno2* - Mgmt for internal communication between various openstack services. - *ens2f0* - Data Interface Corresponding to this we have defined the following fields in globals.yml - kolla_base_distro: "centos" - kolla_install_type: "source" - openstack_release: "wallaby" - network_interface: "eno2" # MGMT interface - kolla_external_vip_interface: "eno1" # OAM Interface - kolla_internal_vip_address: "192.168.10.3" # MGMT Subnet free ip - kolla_external_vip_address: "10.0.1.136" # OAM subnet free IP - neutron_external_interface: "ens2f0" # Data Interface - enable_neutron_provider_networks: "yes" Note: Only relevant fields are being shown in this query Also, for ironic following fields have been defined in globals.yml - enable_ironic: "yes" - enable_ironic_neutron_agent: "{{ enable_neutron | bool and enable_ironic | bool }}" - enable_horizon_ironic: "{{ enable_ironic | bool }}" - ironic_dnsmasq_interface: "*ens2f0*" # Data interface - ironic_dnsmasq_dhcp_range: "20.20.20.10,20.20.20.100" - ironic_dnsmasq_boot_file: "pxelinux.0" - ironic_cleaning_network: "public1" - ironic_dnsmasq_default_gateway: "20.20.20.1" After successful deployment, a flat provider network with the name public1 is being created in openstack using the below commands: - openstack network create public1 --provider-network-type flat --provider-physical-network physnet1 - openstack subnet create subnet1 --network public1 --subnet-range 20.20.20.0/24 --allocation-pool start=20.20.20.10,end=20.20.20.100 --ip-version=4 --gateway=20.20.20.1 --dhcp Issue/Queries: - Is the configuration done in globals.yml correct or is there anything else that needs to be done in order to separate control and data plane traffic? - Also I have set automated_cleaning as "true" in ironic-conductor conatiner settings.But after creating the baremetal node, we run "node manage" command which runs successfully. Running "*openstack baremetal node provide <node id>"* command powers on the machine, sets the boot mode on Network Boot but no DHCP request for that particular mac is obtained on the controller. Is there anything I am missing that needs to be done in order to make ironic work? Note: I have also verified that the nic is PXE enabled in system configuration setting Regards Anirudh Gupta

[devstack][neutron][manila] Instances having trouble getting to external network with OVN
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Hi, Some third party storage CI running against manila repos has had issues setting up VMs and providing access to external resources in devstack; these issues started around the time that the default ml2 plugin was switched to OVN. Folks in the manila team aren't familiar with devstack/CI networking to determine how to resolve these; and we'd totally appreciate help from networking experts in this regard. A sample local.conf file used by the CI is here: http://paste.openstack.org/show/807449/ Manila's tests: - create a private tenant network - setup a router that connects the private network to the public network - create a nova VM on the private tenant network - attempt to mount a share via NFS from within this VM The final step fails because the NFS mount command times out within the test VM: tempest.lib.exceptions.SSHExecCommandFailed: Command 'sudo mount -vt nfs "10.16.xx.xx:/share-96ae8d0c-8bab-4fcd-b278-51a6f473e03c-manila" /mnt', exit status: 32, stderr: mount.nfs: mount(2): Connection timed out mount.nfs: Connection timed out stdout: mount.nfs: timeout set for Mon Jun 28 14:47:19 2021 mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4.2,addr=10.16.xx.xx,clientaddr=10.1.0.26' The timeout seems to be because the VM is unable to reach the NFS server that's external to the devstack host. The NFS server is reachable from the devstack host. Have there been any changes to devstack configuration that we need to be aware of, wrt VMs having access to the external network? Thanks, Goutham

[masakari] Deprecating process monitor - querying the community in this thread
by Radosław Piliszek 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

Hello users of Masakari, As the Masakari core team, we have discussed the deprecation/retirement of one of the monitors - the process monitor. The reason is simple - we consider its mission is better handled by other software such as Kubernetes, Docker, or systemd, depending on how you deploy your OpenStack cluster. I believe the process monitor might have made sense in the pre-containerisation, pre-systemd world but it does not seem to any longer. Please let us know, by replying to this mail, if you have a use case for the process monitor that cannot be handled by the aforementioned software. -yoctozepto

[tripleo] Changing TripleO's release model
by Wesley Hayutin 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

Greetings TripleO community! At the most recent TripleO community meetings we have discussed formally changing the OpenStack release model for TripleO [1]. The previous released projects can be found here [2]. TripleO has previously released with release-type[‘trailing’, ‘cycle-with-intermediary’]. To quote the release model doc: ‘Trailing deliverables trail the release, so they cannot, by definition, be independent. They need to pick between cycle-with-rc <https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html#cycle-with-rc> or cycle-with-intermediary <https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html#cycle-with-int…> models.’ We are proposing to update the release-model to ‘independent’. This would give the TripleO community more flexibility in when we choose to cut a release. In turn this would mean less backporting, less upstream and 3rd party resources used by potentially some future releases. To quote the release model doc: ‘Some projects opt to completely bypass the 6-month cycle and release independently. For example, that is the case of projects that support the development infrastructure. The “independent” model describes such projects.’ The discussion here is to merely inform the greater community with regards to the proposal and conversations regarding the release model. This thread is NOT meant to discuss previous releases or their supported status, merely changing the release model here [3] [0] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/tripleo-meeting-items [1] https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html [2] https://releases.openstack.org/teams/tripleo.html [3] https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/xena
