Re: [ceilometer][octavia][Victoria] No metrics from octavia loadbalancer

13 Apr 2021


      Hi Thomas, thank you for the answer.
I have this content in my gnocchi_resources.yaml
- resource_type: loadbalancer
    metrics:
      network.services.lb.outgoing.bytes:
      network.services.lb.incoming.bytes:
      network.services.lb.pool:
      network.services.lb.listener:
      network.services.lb.member:
      network.services.lb.health_monitor:
      dynamic.network.services.lb.loadbalancer:
      network.services.lb.total.connections:
      network.services.lb.active.connections:

But to be honest I didn’t do db_sync. I’m using kolla-ansible and I have all services in container, so I should run db_sync inside ceilometer-central container? It’s not automatically synced when a service/container is restarted?
Best regards
Adam

Hi,
Im trying to get metrics from octavia’s load balancer, but can’t get any (gnocchi metric list | grep loadbalancer not returning anything). How should I configure ceilometer to get metrics from octavia? Ceilometer asks neutron for load balancer metrics, and neutron responses „resource cannot be found” (and that is obvious, because Neutron LBaaS service is deprecated). How to force neutron to get these resources from Octavia?
I’ve tried to use
[service_providers]
service_provider = LOADBALANCERV2:Octavia:neutron_lbaas.drivers.octavia.driver.OctaviaDriver:default
in neutron.conf, but it doesn’t work either…
Best regards
Adam
Hi Adam,
It's up to Ceilometer to report it. Do create the resource types, add
this to /etc/ceilometer/gnocchi_resources.yaml (note: if you don't have
such a file in /etc/ceilometer, copy it there from somewhere below
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer):
- resource_type: loadbalancer
   metrics:
     network.services.lb.outgoing.bytes:
     network.services.lb.incoming.bytes:
     network.services.lb.pool:
     network.services.lb.listener:
     network.services.lb.member:
     network.services.lb.health_monitor:
     network.services.lb.loadbalancer:
     network.services.lb.total.connections:
     network.services.lb.active.connections:
Then do a ceilometer db_sync to populate the Gnocchi resource types.
I hope this helps,
Cheers,
