Chapter 3. Installing the client-side tools
Chapter 3. Installing the client-side tools Before you deploy the overcloud, you need to determine the configuration settings to apply to each client. Copy the example environment files from the heat template collection and modify the files to suit your environment. 3.1. Setting centralized logging client parameters For more information, see Enabling centralized logging during deployment . 3.2. Setting monitoring client parameters The monitoring solution collects system information periodically and provides a mechanism to store and monitor the values in a variety of ways using a data collecting agent. Red Hat supports collectd as a collection agent. Collectd-sensubility is an extention of collectd and communicates with Sensu server side through RabbitMQ. You can use Service Telemetry Framework (STF) to store the data, and in turn, monitor systems, find performance bottlenecks, and predict future system load. For more information, see the Service Telemetry Framework guide. To configure collectd and collectd-sensubility, complete the following steps: Create config.yaml in your home directory, for example, /home/templates/custom , and configure the MetricsQdrConnectors parameter to point to STF server side: MetricsQdrConnectors: - host: qdr-normal-sa-telemetry.apps.remote.tld port: 443 role: inter-router sslProfile: sslProfile verifyHostname: false MetricsQdrSSLProfiles: - name: sslProfile In the config.yaml file, list the plug-ins you want under CollectdExtraPlugins . You can also provide parameters in the ExtraConfig section. By default, collectd comes with the cpu , df , disk , hugepages , interface , load , memory , processes , tcpconns , unixsock , and uptime plug-ins. You can add additional plug-ins using the CollectdExtraPlugins parameter. You can also provide additional configuration information for the CollectdExtraPlugins using the ExtraConfig option as shown. For example, to enable the virt plug-in, and configure the connection string and the hostname format, use the following syntax: parameter_defaults: CollectdExtraPlugins: - disk - df - virt ExtraConfig: collectd::plugin::virt::connection: "qemu:///system" collectd::plugin::virt::hostname_format: "hostname uuid" Note Do not remove the unixsock plug-in. Removal results in the permanent marking of the collectd container as unhealthy. To enable collectd-sensubility, add the following environment configuration to the config.yaml file: parameter_defaults: CollectdEnableSensubility: true # Use this if there is restricted access for your checks by using the sudo command. # The rule will be created in /etc/sudoers.d for sensubility to enable it calling restricted commands via sensubility executor. CollectdSensubilityExecSudoRule: "collectd ALL = NOPASSWD: <some command or ALL for all commands>" # Connection URL to Sensu server side for reporting check results. CollectdSensubilityConnection: "amqp://sensu:sensu@<sensu server side IP>:5672//sensu" # Interval in seconds for sending keepalive messages to Sensu server side. CollectdSensubilityKeepaliveInterval: 20 # Path to temporary directory where the check scripts are created. CollectdSensubilityTmpDir: /var/tmp/collectd-sensubility-checks # Path to shell used for executing check scripts. CollectdSensubilityShellPath: /usr/bin/sh # To improve check execution rate use this parameter and value to change the number of goroutines spawned for executing check scripts. CollectdSensubilityWorkerCount: 2 # JSON-formatted definition of standalone checks to be scheduled on client side. If you need to schedule checks # on overcloud nodes instead of Sensu server, use this parameter. Configuration is compatible with Sensu check definition. # For more information, see https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-core/1.7/reference/checks/#check-definition-specification # There are some configuration options which sensubility ignores such as: extension, publish, cron, stdin, hooks. CollectdSensubilityChecks: example: command: "ping -c1 -W1 8.8.8.8" interval: 30 # The following parameters are used to modify standard, standalone checks for monitoring container health on overcloud nodes. # Do not modify these parameters. # CollectdEnableContainerHealthCheck: true # CollectdContainerHealthCheckCommand: <snip> # CollectdContainerHealthCheckInterval: 10 # The Sensu server side event handler to use for events created by the container health check. # CollectdContainerHealthCheckHandlers: # - handle-container-health-check # CollectdContainerHealthCheckOccurrences: 3 # CollectdContainerHealthCheckRefresh: 90 Deploy the overcloud. Include config.yaml , collectd-write-qdr.yaml , and one of the qdr-*.yaml files in your overcloud deploy command. For example: Optional: To enable overcloud RabbitMQ monitoring, include the collectd-read-rabbitmq.yaml file in your overcloud deploy command. For more information about the YAML files, see Section 3.3, "YAML files" . 3.3. YAML files When you configure collectd, you can include the following YAML files in your overcloud deploy command: collectd-read-rabbitmq.yaml : Enables python-collect-rabbitmq and configures it to monitor overcloud RabbitMQ instance. collectd-write-qdr.yaml : Enables collectd to send telemetry and notification data through QPID dispatch routers. qdr-edge-only.yaml : Enables deployment of QPID dispatch routers. Each overcloud node will have one local qdrouterd service running and operating in edge mode, for example, sending received data straight to defined MetricsQdrConnectors. qdr-form-controller-mesh.yaml : Enables deployment of QPID dispatch routers (QDR). Each overcloud node will have one local qdrouterd service running and forming a mesh topology. For example, QDRs running on controllers operate in interior router mode, with connections to defined MetricsQdrConnectors, and QDRs running on other node types connect in edge mode to the interior routers running on the controllers.
