This plugin provides metrics for neutron virtual routers implemented with Open vSwitch. Much like the libvirt plugin,
this plugin will publish metrics both to the project associated with the virtual router, as well as the infrastructure
project. Also similar to the libvirt plugin, metric names that are cross-posted to the infrastructure project will
have the ovs. prefix.
NOTE: The /usr/bin/ovs-vsctl command requires sudo to run. See notes in ovs_cmd section below for how to customize this plugin to work around this requirement if sudo is not allowed in certain installations.
This plugin is not currently automatically configured using the monasca-setup program -- it must be explicitly configured using the configuration file example below.
password password for the neutron user.
project_name is the project/tenant to POST metrics with the ovs. prefix.
username is the username capable of making administrative neutron calls.
neutron_refresh is the number of seconds to wait before updating the neutron router cache file. This requires two neutron calls to get port and router info, so we intentionally overload neutron by making these calls each time the agent wakes up.
auth_url is the keystone endpoint for auth.
endpoint_type is the endpoint type for making neutron calls.
region_name is used to add the region dimension to metrics.
cache_dir will be used to cache metric counters and neutron router/port info to not overwhelm neutron each time metrics are calculated/POSTed.
network_use_bits will submit network metrics in bits rather than bytes. This will stop submitting the metrics router.in_bytes_sec and router.out_bytes_sec, and instead submit router.in_bits_sec and router.out_bits_sec.
check_router_ha will check router HA status if set to true. This should be set to false if not configuring routers for HA, as setting this to true will cause the plugin to make additional neutron calls.
metadata specifies the list of router metadata keys to be included as dimensions with the cross-tenant metrics for the operations project. This is helpful to give more information about an router. Tenant name (in addition to default ID) can be provided as dimensions if tenant_name is provided in the list of metadata keys.
ovs_cmd is the location of the open vswitch command. Installations that allow sudo should set this to sudo /usr/bin/ovs-vsctl and add mon-agent ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/ovs-vsctl to the /etc/sudoers file. Installations that don't allow usage of sudo should copy the ovs-vsctl command to another location and use the setcap command to allow the monasca-agent to run that command. The new location of the ovs-vsctl command should be what is set in the config file for ovs_cmd.
instances are not used and should be empty in ovs.yaml because like the ovs plugin it runs against all routers hosted on the node at once.
included_interface_re will include network interfaces for collecting the ovs statistics matching the given regex. By default qg, vhu(dpdk) and sg interfaces will be enabled by detection plugin.
use_absolute_metrics will submit the raw counters from ovs-vsctl command output for the given network interface. If this flag is disabled then default rate metrics will get collected for the enabled network interfaces (Default True). Please see "Mapping Metrics to Configuration Parameters" section below for what metrics are controlled by this flag.
use_rate_metrics will submit the rate metrics derived from ovs-vsctl command output for the given network interface (Default False). Please see "Mapping Metrics to Configuration Parameters" section below for what metrics are controlled by this flag.
use_health_metrics will submit the health related metrics from ovs-vsctl command output for the given network interface. Example metric names are in_dropped, out_dropped, out_error and in_errors (Default False). Please see "Mapping Metrics to Configuration Parameters" section below for what metrics are controlled by this flag.
