The role of the Openstack-kafka-publisher service is to receive monitoring data of the running network services (and the running VNFs/VMs) deployed in OpenStack NFVI through the Ceilometer service (OpenStack) over UDP protocol and forward them in the publish/subscribe broker of 5G-MEDIA Service Virtualization Platform.
Actually, this service feeds the MAPE with monitoring data.
Apart from the instructions relevant to deployment of this publisher, indicative configuration of the Ceilometer service is provided under the ceilometer folder.
- The docker engine has been installed
- The Ceilometer service can access this service (check firewall)
The python packages are available in the requirements.txt file.
Inspect the publisher.conf file and modify it before the build of the image.
The default settings are the following:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| UDP port | 10000 |
| kafka host | 192.168.1.107 |
| Kafka port | 9092 |
| Topic name | nfvi.example.openstack |
You need to configure the ceilometer properly in order to push the data over UDP in this service.
Modify the ceilometer.conf and pipeline.conf in the /etc/ceilometer path.
Take a look in the files that are included in the ceilometer folder.
Before the duild of the docker image, take a look in the configuration section.
1. Build the docker image
# clone code from repository
cd openstack-kafka-publisher
docker build -t ceilometer_kafka_publisher .2. Instantiate the service as docker container
docker run -d --name ceilometer_kafka_publisher -p 10000:10000/udp ceilometer_kafka_publisherCheck the logs
docker exec -it ceilometer_kafka_publisher bash
# inside container
cd /opt/ceilPublisher
tail -f /ceilPublisher.log The expected response should look like:
2018-05-14 11:57:39,326 INFO ====================
2018-05-14 11:57:39,326 INFO Ceilometer Kafka publisher
2018-05-14 11:57:39,326 INFO UDP server port: 10000
