Logging and monitoring
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
OpenStack clouds require appropriate monitoring platforms to catch and
|
|
manage errors.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
We recommend leveraging existing monitoring systems to see if they
|
|
are able to effectively monitor an OpenStack environment.
|
|
|
|
Specific meters that are critically important to capture include:
|
|
|
|
* Image disk utilization
|
|
|
|
* Response time to the Compute API
|
|
|
|
Logging and monitoring does not significantly differ for a multi-site OpenStack
|
|
cloud. The tools described in the `Logging and monitoring chapter
|
|
<http://docs.openstack.org/ops-guide/ops_logging_monitoring.html>`__ of
|
|
the Operations Guide remain applicable. Logging and monitoring can be provided
|
|
on a per-site basis, and in a common centralized location.
|
|
|
|
When attempting to deploy logging and monitoring facilities to a centralized
|
|
location, care must be taken with the load placed on the inter-site networking
|
|
links.
