Hi Tushar,
Thanks you for your quick response on this. As I have already included the masakari-monitors plugin in my compute host's local.conf file in devstack, I have the repo present in my VM. Following the steps to set up the conf files and start the necessary masakari monitoring processes from this link https://github.com/openstack/masakari-monitors/blob/master/README.rst I get the same error when I start the 3 monitoring processes (masakari-processmonitor, masakari-hostmonitor, masakari-instancemonitor) -

stack@devstack-:/etc/masakarimonitors$ masakari-processmonitor
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/masakari-processmonitor", line 10, in <module>

After masakari setup I can file all the required binaries in my /usr/local/bin directory -

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  171 Apr 30 04:34 /usr/local/bin/masakari-hostmonitor

Please let me know is there any issue with my masakari setup with devstack and where can I find latest documentation on Masakari for using in devstack.

thanks for your pointer,
best regards,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,

In case of masakari-processmonitor, it only monitors processes as mentioned in the process_list.yaml which by default monitors libvirt-bin, nova-compute, instancemonitor, hostmonitor and sshd processes.

To test process failure, you should terminate any of the above processes.

In case of instancemonitor, you can shutdown the VM to test whether a notification is sent or not.

Sorry, I didn't notice your question on forum. I have replied above comment on forum as well.

Regards,
Tushar Patil

Subject: [devstack][stein][masakari]Using Masakari in multihost devstack stein setup

Hi all,
I have been trying to setup Masakari in a 3 node setup - 1 controller + 2 computes with minimal openstack services installed using devstack stable/stein version. All these 3 nodes are Ubuntu 16.04 VMs. I have included Masakari plugin in controller's local.conf file and included masakari-monitor in both compute node's local.conf file. I want to test out VM/process failure in my test environment. To do so, when I kill one of the qemu process created for one instance (cirros 256 flavor VMs) on one of the compute with root user login, I did not see any notification under my horizon/instance-ha section for this (I have already created Segments, Hosts under instance-ha in horizon). Also the killed process is not restarted by Masakari.

I have asked the same question in openstack forum, but not got a single response.

masakari-notification-on-process-failure<https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/121490/masakari-notification-on-process-failure/>

Whether any additional services related to Masakari need to be configured on compute hosts to detect failures since I did not find exactly the documentation related inside devstack for this.

Please let me know if I am missing anything my set up. Any helps and pointers are most appreciated.

thank you for your reply.

best regards
