thanks for the pointers Sam. I took a quick look. I agree that the VM Heartbeat / Health-check looks like a good fit into Masakari. Currently your instance monitoring looks like it is strictly black-box type monitoring thru libvirt events. Is that correct ? i.e. you do not do any intrusive type monitoring of the instance thru the QUEMU Guest Agent facility correct ? I think this is what VM Heartbeat / Health-check would add to Masaraki. Let me know if you agree. Greg.

Masakari-monitors runs on nova-compute node, and monitors the host, process or instance failures. Masakari instance monitor has similar functionality with what you have described. Please see [1] for more details on instance monitoring. [0] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Masakari [1] https://github.com/openstack/masakari-monitors/tree/master/masakarimonitors/instancemonitor Once masakari-monitors detect failures, it will send notifications to masakari-api to take appropriate recovery actions to recover that VM from failures. __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: OpenStack-dev-request at lists.openstack.org<mailto:OpenStack-dev-request at lists.openstack.org>?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
