  1. Autoscaling with Heat and Ceilometer | OpenStackうぉっち

    […] 投稿日: 2013/08/29 投稿者: ntamaoki Like AWS CloudFormation, Heat allows to create auto scaling stacks. In order to do this, some metrics need to be retrieved from your VM and some actions need to be triggered when a specified event occurs on these metrics. These actions are usually upscaling (create some new VMs) or downscaling (destroy some VMs). In OpenStack Grizzly, a simplistic system was… Read more ⇒ […]

    Looks nice! Any hints on how to integrate external monitoring tools with it? Eg pushing alarms into ceilometers DB from outside.

    Actually I have a general question about alarming in OpenStack.
    Service ‘ceilometer-alarm-singleton’ generates ‘Threshold’ Alarms based on threshold crossings of the meters it is monitoring.
    And service ‘ceilometer-alarm-notifier’ listens to the RPC bus for Alarm Notification events and executes the defined triggered action(s) for any alarms.
    However, a System has more than just meter-based threshold alarms. E.g. a Compute Node Failure, a physical interface failure, etc. .
    Is there a “GENERAL” RPC Bus for Alarm Notification Events in OpenStack ?
    Is it the one used by Ceilometer ?
    Is the intent that Ceilometer is also collecting “ALL” Alarms, storing them in DB, and supporting ‘publishers’ for Alarms (e.g. an SNMP Trap publisher )
    Comments ?

    Actually I am planning start implement the metering for autoscaling .
    I’ve created stack with lb_members also. Whenever I stress the CPU utilization more than 90%, But still VM scaling is not happening .
    Moreover I see ceilometer alarm-list insufficient data.
    [root@icmcs heat-templates]# ceilometer alarm-list
