Install and configure for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS

This section describes how to install and configure the Messaging service, code-named zaqar for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and CentOS 7.

This section assumes that you already have a working OpenStack environment with at least Identity service installed.

Here you can find instructions and recommended settings for installing Messaging service in small configuration: one web server with Messaging service configured to use replica-set of three MongoDB database servers. Because only one web server is used, the Messaging service installed by using these instructions can't be considered as high available, see install.

In this tutorial these server names are used as examples:

Web server with Messaging service: WEB0.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET.
Database servers: MYDB0.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET, MYDB1.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET, MYDB2.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET.
Identity service server: IDENTITY.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET.

Prerequisites

Before you install Messaging service, you must meet the following system requirements:

Installed Identity service for user and project management.
Python 2.7.

Before you install and configure Messaging, you must create a MongoDB replica-set of three database servers. Also you need to create service credentials and API endpoints in Identity.

Install and configure MongoDB replica-set on database servers:
1. Install MongoDB on the database servers:
  
  On each database server follow the official MongoDB installation instructions.
  
  Note
  
  Messaging service works with MongoDB versions >= 2.4
2. Configure MongoDB on the database servers:
  
  On each database server edit configuration file: /etc/mongod.conf and modify as needed:
```
# MongoDB sample configuration for Messaging service.
# (For MongoDB version >= 2.6)
# Edit according to your needs.
      systemLog:
  destination: file
  logAppend: true
  path: /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

storage:
  dbPath: /var/lib/mongo
  journal:
    enabled: false

processManagement:
  fork: true  # fork and run in background
  pidFilePath: /var/run/mongodb/mongod.pid  # location of pidfile

net:
  port: 27017
  # bindIp: 127.0.0.1  # Listen to local interface only, comment to listen on all interfaces.

operationProfiling:
   slowOpThresholdMs: 200
   mode: slowOp

replication:
   oplogSizeMB: 2048
   replSetName: catalog
```
  Note
  
  In case of older MongoDB versions (2.4 and 2.5) the configuration file should be written in different format. For information about format for different versions see the official MongoDB configuration reference.
  
  Warning
  
  Additional steps are required to secure MongoDB installation. You should modify this configuration for your security requirements. See the official MongoDB security reference.
3. Start MongoDB on the database servers:
  
  Start MongoDB service on all database servers:
```
root@MYDBX# systemctl start mongod
```
  Make MongoDB service start automatically after reboot:
```
root@MYDBX# systemctl enable mongod
```
4. Configure MongoDB Replica Set on the database servers:
  
  Once you've installed MongoDB on three servers and assuming that the primary MongoDB server hostname is MYDB0.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET, go to MYDB0 and run these commands:
```
root@MYDB0# mongo local --eval "printjson(rs.initiate())"
root@MYDB0# mongo local --eval "printjson(rs.add('MYDB1.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET'))"
root@MYDB0# mongo local --eval "printjson(rs.add('MYDB2.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET'))"
```
  Note
  
  The database servers must have access to each other and also be accessible from the Messaging service web server. Configure firewalls on all database servers to accept incoming connections to port 27017 from the needed source.
  
  To check if the replica-set is established see the output of this command:
```
root@MYDB0# mongo local --eval "printjson(rs.status())"
```
Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:
```
$ . admin-openrc
```

To create the service credentials, complete these steps:

Create the zaqar user:

$ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt zaqar
User Password:
Repeat User Password:
+-----------+----------------------------------+
| Field     | Value                            |
+-----------+----------------------------------+
| domain_id | default                          |
| enabled   | True                             |
| id        | 7b0ffc83097148dab6ecbef6ddcc46bf |
| name      | zaqar                            |
+-----------+----------------------------------+

Add the admin role to the zaqar user:
```
$ openstack role add --project service --user zaqar admin
```
Note

This command provides no output.

Create the zaqar service entity:

$ openstack service create --name zaqar --description "Messaging" messaging
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| Field       | Value                            |

| name        | zaqar                            |
| type        | messaging                        |
+-------------+----------------------------------+

Create the Messaging service API endpoints:

$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne messaging public http://WEB0.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET:8888
+--------------+---------------------------------------+
| Field        | Value                                 |

Install and configure Messaging web server

Install and configure memcached, uWSGI and Messaging on the web server WEB0.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET.

Install memcached on web server WEB0.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET in order to cache Identity service tokens and catalog mappings:
```
root@WEB0# yum install memcached
```
Start memcached service:
```
root@WEB0# systemctl start memcached
```
Make memcached service start automatically after reboot:
```
root@WEB0# systemctl enable memcached
```

Install Messaging service and uWSGI:

root@WEB0# yum -y install python-pip
root@WEB0# git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/zaqar.git
root@WEB0# cd zaqar
root@WEB0# pip install . -r ./requirements.txt --upgrade --log /tmp/zaqar-pip.log
root@WEB0# pip install --upgrade pymongo gevent uwsgi

Copy the Zaqar RBAC policy sample file to the directory etc/zaqar/:

root@WEB0# mkdir
root@WEB0# cp etc/policy.json.sample /etc/zaqar/policy.json

Create log file:

root@WEB0# touch /var/log/zaqar-server.log
root@WEB0# chown ZAQARUSER:ZAQARUSER /var/log/zaqar-server.log
root@WEB0# chmod 600 /var/log/zaqar-server.log

Replace ZAQARUSER with the name of the user in system under which the Messaging service will run.

Create /srv/zaqar folder to store uWSGI configuration files.

Create /srv/zaqar/zaqar_uwsgi.py with the following content:

from keystonemiddleware import auth_token
from zaqar.transport.wsgi import app

app = auth_token.AuthProtocol(app.app, {})

Increase backlog listen limit from default (128):

root@WEB0# echo "net.core.somaxconn=2048" | sudo tee --append /etc/sysctl.conf

Create /srv/zaqar/uwsgi.ini file with the following content and modify as needed:
```
[uwsgi]
https = WEB0.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET:8888,PATH_TO_SERVER_CRT,PATH_TO_SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY
pidfile = /var/run/zaqar.pid
gevent = 2000
gevent-monkey-patch = true
listen = 1024
enable-threads = true
module = zaqar_uwsgi:app
workers = 4
harakiri = 60
add-header = Connection: close
```
Replace PATH_TO_SERVER_CRT with path to the server's certificate (*.crt) and PATH_TO_SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY with path to the server's private key (*.key).

Note

The uWSGI configuration options above can be modified for different security and performance requirements including load balancing. See the official uWSGI configuration reference.

Create Messaging service's configuration file /etc/zaqar.conf with the following content:

Edit any options as needed, especially the options with capitalized values.

Create a service file for Messaging service /etc/systemd/system/zaqaruwsgi.service:

[Unit]
Description=uWSGI Zaqar
After=syslog.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/uwsgi --ini /srv/zaqar/uwsgi.ini
# Requires systemd version 211 or newer
RuntimeDirectory=uwsgi
Restart=always
KillSignal=SIGQUIT
Type=notify
StandardError=syslog
NotifyAccess=all
User=ZAQARUSER
Group=ZAQARUSER

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Replace ZAQARUSER with the name of the user in system under which the Messaging service will run.

Finalize installation

Now after you have configured the web server and the database servers to have a functional Messaging service, you need to start the service, make the service automatically start with the system and define the created MongoDB replica-set as Messaging's pool.

Start Messaging service on the web server:

root@WEB0# systemctl start zaqar.uwsgi.service

Make Messaging service start automatically after reboot on the web server:
```
root@WEB0# systemctl enable zaqar.uwsgi.service
```
Configure pool:
```
root@WEB0# curl -i -X PUT https://WEB0.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET:8888/v2/pools/POOL1 \
           -d '{"weight": 100, "uri": "mongodb://MYDB0.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET,MYDB1.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET,MYDB2.EXAMPLE-MESSAGES.NET:27017/?replicaSet=catalog&w=2&readPreference=secondaryPreferred", "options": {"partitions": 8}}' \
           -H "Client-ID: CLIENT_ID" \
           -H "X-Auth-Token: TOKEN" \
           -H "Content-type: application/json" \
```
Replace POOL1 variable with the desired name of a pool.

Replace CLIENT_ID variable with the universally unique identifier (UUID) which can be generated by, for example, uuidgen utility.

Replace TOKEN variable with the authentication token retrieved from Identity service. If you choose not to enable Keystone authentication you won't have to pass a token.

Note

The options key in curl request above overrides any options (specified in configuration file or default) in [drivers:message_store:mongodb] Messaging service configuration file's section.

Tip

In larger deployments, there should be many load balanced web servers. Also the management store databases and the message store databases (pools) should be on different MongoDB replica-sets.
