Meeting minutes:
Demo from Barometer:
- Possibly create a demo and record it?
- Demo around containers/VM with metrics
- Float around few ideas, get comments over next calls
- Find a new way to use Barometer, would be good
- Demo ideas:
- Barometer for system tests/debugging.
- Look at network interfaces, OVS stats, etc., to track whats happening in an openstack deployment
- Need to know if there are any openstack deployments already available in opnfv pods
- Have a real time demo to show graphana dashboards in opnfv pods
Updates:
- Changed the Kolla container to include almost all Collectd plugins, taken from latest stable branch
- Plugins are still taken from RPM build, relying on release version of Collectd
- Not included plugins would gaming plugins, etc.
- This is a great progress
- No new updates about community release of Collectd
- Intel team will prioritize backporting once Ansible script work is done
- Collectd code reviews:
- Lot of PRs, will take some time
- The DPDK patch got merged, need to backport to 5.8
- Sunku will ask the patch author to backport
- Ansible scripts work:
- Testing/validation on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04 & Centos 7.5
- Centos 7.3 had docker issues, related to docker missing packages
- Latest docker Images is based on 7.5.3
- Centos 7.5 images (qcow2) have different naming scheme, very similar to Ubuntu 18.04
- There shouldn’t be any regressions, upgrading from 7.3 to 7.5.
- We can look in to if we need to on 7.3
- Require your help to review as patches are upstreamed
- Milestone 8 – Oct 30th
- Its not being pushed back
- Review help:
- Have 4 to 5 reviews pending in Barometer gerrit
- Require reviews
- Gambia release behind
- Please have check-ins in good shape before submission
- Milestones
- MS7 9/21/18

- Ansible scripts update
- https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/61575/5
- Need to have the experimental Barometer container
- Need a place to send interested parties so they can try out newest features
- Early feedback is key
- Showing the host naming in virt plugin in experimental container would be good.
- If we have hardware, we can have virtualized RDO installed quickly in barometer opnfv pod
- A simple 1 controller/1 compute node running barometer container each, also on the pod host itself would be good to show metrics collection across all layers.
- Listing the steps in barometer wiki would be helpful
- Possibly have a packstack installation on a single machine.
- Prometheus and Barometer
- Should Barometer participate in the standardization effort under way in Prometheus. (Yes!)
- Driven by Prometheus for data format
- Mentioned at Fosdem & Prometheus conference
- Standard is named as open metrics, submitted to IEEE
- Gone quite far, need 3 implementations of metrics format for this standard
- Google is doing one implementation, 2nd one by Prometheus community
- Trying to standardize data exchange format
- While Prometheus only supports metrics, standards also supports logs.
- Value of all this info is the correlation part
- Matthias would send more info.
- Need to make sure it wont impact our implementations of metrics in hardware/infrastructure level
- The community is not generally attuned to lower layers.
- Bring Barometer’s experience in monitoring the infrastructure.
- End result could be too PaaSy ;)
- Should Barometer participate in the standardization effort under way in Prometheus. (Yes!)
