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 behindRelease Plan Items
  • https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/BAROMETER-99
  • https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/BAROMETER-96
  • 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 ;)
