I am going to add the hashmap service to cloud kitty     conf files by defining (venvopenstack) cloud@Xena:~$ sudo vi /etc/kolla/cloudkitty-processor/cloudkitty.conf

[collect]

collector = gnocchi 

metrics_conf = /etc/kolla/cloudkitty-processor/metrics.yml 

And in metric.yml  defined  the  services and fields as in    https://docs.openstack.org/cloudkitty/latest/user/rating/hashmap.html 

But when I tried to   

$ cloudkitty hashmap group create instance_uptime_flavor_id

There is no cloudkitty   CLI option 

only  I have 

(venvopenstack) cloud@wallaby:~$ cloud-
cloud-id        cloud-init      cloud-init-per  cloud-localds
(venvopenstack) cloud@wallaby:~$ 

No cloudkitty command line option.   Why ??   anything I made wrong ?

This was in my globals.yml   which enabled for this deployment.

(venvopenstack) cloud@wallaby:~$ grep ^[^#] /etc/kolla/globals.yml
---
kolla_base_distro: "debian"
kolla_install_type: "source"
kolla_internal_vip_address: "10.184.48.250"
network_interface: "ens3"
neutron_external_interface: "ens4"
enable_ceilometer: "yes"
enable_cloudkitty: "yes"
enable_gnocchi: "yes"
enable_horizon_cloudkitty: "{{ enable_cloudkitty | bool }}"
cloudkitty_collector_backend: "gnocchi"
nova_compute_virt_type: "qemu"
(venvopenstack) cloud@wallaby:~$ 

What I am missing   :  Any hints most welcome.

Thank you,

Krish

You have to create rating rules for CloudKitty to perform rating. Otherwise it won't produce any results. See the CloudKitty documentation about hashmaps for more details: https://docs.openstack.org/cloudkitty/latest/user/rating/hashmap.html

I have installed   all-in-one  using  Kolla-ansible  wallaby on a Virtual Machine (Debian 10)

By default configurations up and running are able to create VMs .. with the default Cirros image. 

I want the  Metering and Billing modules for a deployment scenario.  So I used this setup as a PILOT and use  ceilometer with cloudkitty and gnocchi.. 

I have enabled ( correct me If I am wrong or missing any other  directives for  metering and rating  other than this if required  =>   enable_ceilometer : "yes"    enable_cloudkitty : "yes" enable_gnocchi : "yes" ,  enable_horizon_cloudkitty : "{{ enable_cloudkitty |bool }}"   cloudkitty_collector_backend: "gnocchi"  

in   /etc/kolla/globals.yml 

Then re deployed  the  all in one    $  ( (venvopenstack) cloud@wallaby:~$ kolla-ansible -i ./all-in-one bootstrap-servers ,   (venvopenstack) cloud@Xena:~$ kolla-ansible -i ./all-in-one prechecks, (venvopenstack) cloud@Xena:~$ kolla-ansible -i ./all-in-one deploy )  .. All went well up and able to access horizon dashboard.

How to view the metrics and ratings  ::

 I am able to get   Admin => Rating tab     

Enabled the three  Rating Modules there. (Hashmap, noop, pyscripts) ..

Rating Summary  :   I am getting as below

All  CloudTotal   0

LL

Cloud Total

0

Hashmap and  pyscrips  tab nothing to view ,  its empty.

How can I use this Rating module and how to get useful values there ?

Or  is there any other configurations I have to make to get a better metering and billing  utility using these tools.   

Kindly share your tips and expertise with these tools.

What / where to refer to get a nice Rating/metering configurations using these tools.( Or do I need to enable / configure more directives or resources ??) 

I have not seen a highly populated  Rating Module interface in Horizon so it should be. Any reference images and configurations are most welcome.

Thank you,
