Installing Manually
=====================
Installing the notification agent
======================================
.. index::
double: installing; agent-notification
1. If you want to be able to retrieve image samples, you need to instruct
Glance to send notifications to the bus by changing ``notifier_strategy``
to ``rabbit`` or ``qpid`` in ``glance-api.conf`` and restarting the
service.
2. If you want to be able to retrieve volume samples, you need to instruct
Cinder to send notifications to the bus by changing ``notification_driver``
to ``cinder.openstack.common.notifier.rabbit_notifier`` and
``control_exchange`` to ``cinder``, before restarting the service.
3. In order to retrieve object store statistics, ceilometer needs
access to swift with ``ResellerAdmin`` role. You should give this
role to your ``os_username`` user for tenant ``os_tenant_name``:
::
$ keystone role-create --name=ResellerAdmin
+----------+----------------------------------+
| Property | Value |
+----------+----------------------------------+
| id | 462fa46c13fd4798a95a3bfbe27b5e54 |
| name | ResellerAdmin |
+----------+----------------------------------+
$ keystone user-role-add --tenant_id $SERVICE_TENANT \
--user_id $CEILOMETER_USER \
--role_id 462fa46c13fd4798a95a3bfbe27b5e54
You'll also need to add the Ceilometer middleware to Swift to account for
incoming and outgoing traffic, by adding these lines to
``/etc/swift/proxy-server.conf``::
[filter:ceilometer]
use = egg:ceilometer#swift
And adding ``ceilometer`` in the ``pipeline`` of that same file, right
before ``proxy-server``.
Additionally, if you want to store extra metadata from headers, you need
to set ``metadata_headers`` so it would look like::
[filter:ceilometer]
use = egg:ceilometer#swift
metadata_headers = X-FOO, X-BAR
.. note::
Please make sure that ceilometer's logging directory (if it's configured)
is read and write accessible for the user swift is started by.
4. Clone the ceilometer git repository to the management server::
$ cd /opt/stack
$ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/ceilometer.git
5. As a user with ``root`` permissions or ``sudo`` privileges, run the
ceilometer installer::
$ cd ceilometer
$ sudo python setup.py install
6. Copy the sample configuration files from the source tree
to their final location.
::
$ mkdir -p /etc/ceilometer
$ cp etc/ceilometer/*.json /etc/ceilometer
$ cp etc/ceilometer/*.yaml /etc/ceilometer
$ cp etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf.sample /etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf
7. Edit ``/etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf``
1. Configure RPC
Set the RPC-related options correctly so ceilometer's daemons
can communicate with each other and receive notifications from
the other projects.
In particular, look for the ``*_control_exchange`` options and
make sure the names are correct. If you did not change the
``control_exchange`` settings for the other components, the
defaults should be correct.
.. note::
Ceilometer makes extensive use of the messaging bus, but has
not yet been tested with ZeroMQ. We recommend using Rabbit or
qpid for now.
2. Set the ``metering_secret`` value.
Set the ``metering_secret`` value to a large, random, value. Use
the same value in all ceilometer configuration files, on all
nodes, so that messages passing between the nodes can be
validated.
Refer to :doc:`/configuration` for details about any other options
you might want to modify before starting the service.
8. Start the notification daemon.
::
$ ceilometer-agent-notification
.. note::
The default development configuration of the collector logs to
stderr, so you may want to run this step using a screen session
or other tool for maintaining a long-running program in the
background.
Installing the collector
========================
.. index::
double: installing; collector
1. Install MongoDB.
Follow the instructions to install the MongoDB_ package for your
operating system, then start the service.

5. Start the agent
::
$ ceilometer-agent-central
Installing the API Server
=========================
.. index::
double: installing; API
.. note::
The API server needs to be able to talk to keystone and ceilometer's
database.
1. Clone the ceilometer git repository to the server::
$ cd /opt/stack
$ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/ceilometer.git
2. As a user with ``root`` permissions or ``sudo`` privileges, run the
ceilometer installer::

::
$ ceilometer-api
.. note::
The development version of the API server logs to stderr, so you
may want to run this step using a screen session or other tool for
maintaining a long-running program in the background.
Configuring keystone to work with API
=====================================
.. index::
double: installing; configure keystone
.. note::
The API server needs to be able to talk to keystone to authenticate.
1. Create a service for ceilometer in keystone
::
$ keystone service-create --name=ceilometer \
--type=metering \
--description="Ceilometer Service"
2. Create an endpoint in keystone for ceilometer
::
$ keystone endpoint-create --region RegionOne \
--service_id $CEILOMETER_SERVICE \
--publicurl "http://$SERVICE_HOST:8777/" \
--adminurl "http://$SERVICE_HOST:8777/" \
--internalurl "http://$SERVICE_HOST:8777/"
.. note::
CEILOMETER_SERVICE is the id of the service created by the first command
and SERVICE_HOST is the host where the Ceilometer API is running. The
default port value for ceilometer API is 8777. If the port value
has been customized, adjust accordingly.
Notifications queues
========================
.. index::
double: installing; notifications queues
By default, Ceilometer consumes notifications on the RPC bus sent to
**notification_topics** by using a queue/pool name that is identical to the
topic name. You shouldn't have different applications consuming messages
from this queue.
If you want to also consume the topic notifications with a system other than
Ceilometer, you should configure a separate queue that listens for the same
messages.
Using multiple dispatchers
================================
.. index::
double: installing; multiple dispatchers
The Ceilometer collector allows multiple dispatchers to be configured so that
metering data can be easily sent to multiple internal and external systems.
Ceilometer by default only saves metering data in a database, to allow
Ceilometer to send metering data to other systems in addition to the
database, multiple dispatchers can be developed and enabled by modifying
Ceilometer configuration file.
Ceilometer ships two dispatchers currently. One is called database
dispatcher, and the other is called file dispatcher. As the names imply,
database dispatcher basically sends metering data to a database driver,
eventually metering data will be saved in database. File dispatcher sends
metering data into a file. The location, name, size of the file can be
configured in ceilometer configuration file. These two dispatchers are
shipped in the Ceilometer egg and defined in the entry_points as follows::
[ceilometer.dispatcher]
file = ceilometer.dispatcher.file:FileDispatcher
database = ceilometer.dispatcher.database:DatabaseDispatcher
To use both dispatchers on a Ceilometer collector service, add the following
line in file ceilometer.conf::
[collector]
dispatcher=database
dispatcher=file
If there is no dispatcher present, database dispatcher is used as the
default. If in some cases such as traffic tests, no dispatcher is needed,
one can configure the line like the following::
dispatcher=
With above configuration, no dispatcher is used by the Ceilometer collector
service, all metering data received by Ceilometer collector will be dropped.
Using other databases
=========================
.. index::
double: installing; database, hbase, mysql, db2
Ceilometer by default uses mongodb as its backend data repository.
A deployment can choose to use other databases, currently the supported
databases are mongodb, hbase, mysql (or sqlalchemy-enabled databases) and
db2. To use a database other than MongoDB, edit the database section in
ceilometer.conf:
To use db2 as the data repository, make the section look like this::
[database]
connection = db2://username:password@host:27017/ceilometer
To use mongodb as the data repository, make the section look like this::
[database]
connection = mongodb://username:password@host:27017/ceilometer
