cloudmon

CloudMon controller is a logical continuation of the ApiMon concept for monitoring clouds from a user perspective for operators. In difference to pure ApiMon it is able to monitor also static resources (i.e. loadbalancers) to ensure not only user is able to provision cloud resources, but the resources he provisioned are still functioning properly.

CloudMon controller is supposed to become a central operating tool responsible for provisioning of all corresponding conmponents and their maintenance.

Please note the project is in the early development phase therefore bugs and missing features are expected to exist.

Quickstart

CloudMon requires currently 2 things to work:

• configuration file
• inventory

Inventory represents an Ansible inventory for the whole CloudMon installation. It defines hosts and groups onto which CloudMon components would be installed

all:
  hosts:
    # All-In-One VM
    1.2.3.4:
      ansible_user: ubuntu
      internal_address: 192.168.1.2
  children:
    # Manage graphite
    graphite:
      hosts:
        1.2.3.4
    # ApiMon Schedulers
    schedulers:
      hosts:
        1.2.3.4
    # ApiMon Executors
    executors:
      hosts:
        1.2.3.4

Configuration file is responsible for defining which CloudMon plugins are going to be used, which environments need to be monitored and with which settings.

CloudMon can be invoked specifying path to the config file and inventory file (absolute paths)

# Provision
cloudmon --config config.yaml --inventory /cloudmon/ansible/inventory_quickstart/ provision --plugin apimon

# Stopping
cloudmon --config config.yaml --inventory /cloudmon/ansible/inventory_quickstart/ stop --plugin apimon

# Starting
cloudmon --config config.yaml --inventory /cloudmon/ansible/inventory_quickstart/ start --plugin apimon

Unless CloudMon release process and invocation interface are clarified it is possible to use it from the local checkout and install it locally:

• python3 setup.py develop

or

• tox -epy39 --notest && source .tox/py39/bin/activate
