Hi,

I suppose you would like to use taas with ovs, am I right?

For that be sure that agent_extension taa is loaded, in the ovs-agent log:

INFO neutron.agent.agent_extensions_manager [-] Loaded agent extensions: ['taas']

If that is ok, when you create tap-services or tap-mirrors (and for the start of the agent) you can check the ovs flows if everything is as expected.

For some help please check my doc under review:

https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tap-as-a-service/+/828382

Hope you can move forward.

Thanks!
Basically I need to port mirror traffic to an IDS instance. TaaaS seemed the most promising option.
I couldn't find a documentated way of installing it on openstack with juju and maas and tried to do something similar than the devstack multi-node (link). But my tap flows and ports stay down.
do you know of a better option to port mirror?
My logic was : install taas on the neutron lxd and all the nodes + necessary configurations. Is there something I'm missing?

Hi,
If you have technical questions I can help (I hope), but sadly I don't know if deployment tool integration is ready for tap-as-a-service.

Hello,
Can anyone help me with the setup of Tap as a Service on Openstack with Juju and Maas?
I've seen tutorials for installing it on DevStack but nothing for large scale setups.
So far I've tried doing a similar process to this:
https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/101599786
basically install the apt on the neutron_api lxd and on the compute nodes, with configurations that are done in the above tutorial. Sounds simple enough.
But the tap_services and tap_flows stay in Down state.
Any ideas??? Also I'm open to another way to do port mirroring if this doesn't work.
