[Openstack-operators] Monitoring system for openstack

Can this blog be prepared for the general openstack documentation ?

 

Different releases will also have additional processes/services/probes so
there should be a generic section of the admin guide for OpenStack
components which covers what should be monitored to confirm a healthy
system.

Hi, 

I myself use Zabbix, for monitoring several openstack services and network
availability.

As the meterics, consumption and so on, I think a template could be made
playing with the API (diagnostics, and so on)

Hi,

take a look at sFlow (http://www.sflow.org <http://www.sflow.org/> )
It can be used with ganglia (latest version) to monitor server farms and vm
pools.
Also - my post on openstack monitoring is coming up tomorrow - I will send
you a link to it.

Cheers,

Hi Vivek,

I recently tried a few different solutions:

 

Monitoring Compute Services with Munin

Monitoring Instances using Munin and collectd

Monitoring Storage Service using StatsD/Graphite

Monitoring MySQL with Hyperic

 

I also played with Zabbix and Hyperic to do other things other than just
MySQL.

I tried zenoss as well as Icinga,  but these seem to assume you have a PhD
in Rocket Science to set up. (I'm joking, I'm pretty sure server monitoring
isn't covered on that course... ;-))

 

Out of the box, it was easy to do monitoring using Munin and Collectd, but
these are RRD based solutions.  The nice thing about these solutions though
is that its incredibly easy to use with the hosts and instances.

I found Hyperic to be on par with Zabbix and Icinga, but easier to set up
coming from 0-knowledge of Zabbix, Zenoss and Icinga - but I can't remember
if there were OpenStack specifics in Hyperic.  With VMware applying for Gold
membership in OpenStack and that Hyperic is a SpringSource product - things
might change here.

 

Regards,

 

Kev
