uptime-monitor

Monitoring agent plugin to track Nova API uptime. It basically just uses novaclient to make a flavor-list call and outputs the result in the format needed Cloud Monitoring.

If the script is able to make the call, the result will have a status of 'OK'. If the script fails (NOT that the nova call fails) the status is 'FAIL'.

Each call results in one of the following metrics being recorded:

'2xx' 'double' 1 '5xx' 'double' 1 'other' 'double' 1 'error' 'double' 1 # In the case of script failure

Install Agent

Per instructions found at: http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/install-and-configure-the-cloud-monitoring-agent

Install Dependencies

The agent install actually performs an update, so you can skip this one

apt-get update apt-get install python-pip python-dev python-netifaces unzip pip install rackspace-novaclient

Install the nova check agent plugin

Because the code is on the internal Rackspace Github, the most straightforward way is to download the zip of the repo and scp that to the server running the check.

(This will move to the 'common' group soon) https://github.rackspace.com/eddie-sheffield/uptime-monitor

(from local box) scp uptime-monitor-master.zip root@:/root/uptime-monitor-master.zip

(on server as root) unzip uptime-monitor-master.zip mkdir -p /usr/lib/rackspace-monitoring-agent/plugins cp -R ~/uptime-monitor-master/* /usr/lib/rackspace-monitoring-agent/plugins/

Create YAMLs for plugins

Note that for the IAD server, since it monitors LON as well as DFW and ORD, the create_yaml.sh script will need to be run twice, once with the US regions and credentials and a second time with the LON region and credentials.

cd /usr/lib/rackspace-monitoring-agent/plugins ./create_yaml.sh

Fill in prompts as required. Regions refers to the regions that this server will be monitoring, not the region the server is in. This can be a space-separated list and must be all uppercase.

Copy YAMLs to agent config dir

cp /usr/lib/rackspace-monitoring-agent/plugins/etc/rackspace-monitoring-agent.conf.d/* /etc/rackspace-monitoring-agent.conf.d/

Restart the agent

service rackspace-monitoring-agent restart

Within each of the Cloud Monitoring entities, there will be checks for each of the regions monitored by that entity with a label in the form of ': Nova API availability test'
