Service Telemetry Framework 1.0

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.0

Installing and deploying Service Telemetry Framework 1.0

OpenStack Documentation Team

Abstract

This guide contains information about installing the core components and deploying Service Telemetry Framework 1.0.

Service Telemetry Framework (STF) provides automated collection of measurements and data from remote clients - Red Hat OpenStack Platform or third-party nodes - and transmission of that information to a centralized, receiving Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) deployment for storage, retrieval, and monitoring. The data can be either of two types:

Metric
a numeric measurement of an application or system
Event
irregular and discrete occurrences that happen in a system

The collection components that are required on the clients are lightweight. The multicast message bus that is shared by all clients and the deployment provides fast and reliable data transport. Other modular components for receiving and storing data are deployed in containers on OCP.

STF provides access to monitoring functions such as alert generation, visualization through dashboards, and single source of truth telemetry analysis to support orchestration.

Service Telemetry Framework architecture overview
Note

The Service Telemetry Framework data collection components, collectd and Ceilometer, and the transport components, AMQ Interconnect and Smart Gateway, are fully supported. The data storage components, Prometheus and ElasticSearch, including the Operator artifacts, and visualization component Grafana are community-supported, and are not officially supported.

For metrics, on the client side, collectd collects high-resolution metrics. collectd delivers the data to Prometheus by using the AMQP1 plugin, which places the data onto the message bus. On the server side, a Golang application called the Smart Gateway takes the data stream from the bus and exposes it as a local scrape endpoint for Prometheus.

If you plan to collect and store events, collectd or Ceilometer delivers event data to the server side by using the AMQP1 plugin, which places the data onto the message bus. Another Smart Gateway writes the data to the ElasticSearch datastore.

Server-side STF monitoring infrastructure consists of the following layers:

  • Service Telemetry Framework 1.0 (STF)
  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP)
  • Infrastructure platform

Server-side STF monitoring infrastructure

For more information about how to deploy Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, see the OCP product documentation. You can install OCP on cloud platforms or on bare metal. For more information about STF performance and scaling, see https://access.redhat.com/articles/4907241.

Note

Do not install OCP on the same infrastructure that you want to monitor.

1.2. Installation size
Copy link

The size of your Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform installation depends on the following factors:

  • The number of nodes you want to monitor.
  • The number of metrics you want to collect.
  • The resolution of metrics.
  • The length of time that you want to store the data.

Installation of Service Telemetry Framework (STF) depends on the existing Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform environment. Ensure that you install monitoring for Red Hat OpenStack Platform on a platform separate from your Red Hat OpenStack Platform environment. You can install Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) on baremetal or other supported cloud platforms. For more information about installing OCP, see OpenShift Container Platform 4.3 Documentation.

The size of your OCP environment depends on the infrastructure you select. For more information about minimum resources requirements when installing OCP on baremetal, see Minimum resource requirements in the Installing a cluster on bare metal guide. For installation requirements of the various public and private cloud platforms which you can install, see the corresponding installation documentation for your cloud platform of choice.

Before you install Service Telemetry Framework (STF), ensure that Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) version 4.x is running and that you understand the core components of the framework. As part of the OCP installation planning process, ensure that the administrator provides persistent storage and enough resources to run the STF components on top of the OCP environment.

Warning

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform version 4.3 or later is currently required for a successful installation of STF.

2.1. The core components of STF
Copy link

The following STF core components are managed by Operators:

  • Prometheus and AlertManager
  • ElasticSearch
  • Smart Gateway
  • AMQ Interconnect

Each component has a corresponding Operator that you can use to load the various application components and objects.

Additional resources

For more information about Operators, see the Understanding Operators guide.

2.2. Preparing your OCP environment for STF
Copy link

As you prepare your OCP environment for STF, you must plan for persistent storage, adequate resources, and event storage:

2.2.1. Persistent volumes
Copy link

STF uses persistent storage in OCP to instantiate the volumes dynamically so that Prometheus and ElasticSearch can store metrics and events.

Additional resources

For more information about configuring persistent storage for OCP, see Understanding persistent storage.

2.2.1.1. Using ephemeral storage
Copy link
Warning

You can use ephemeral storage with STF. However, if you use ephemeral storage, you might experience data loss if a pod is restarted, updated, or rescheduled onto another node. Use ephemeral storage only for development or testing, and not production environments.

Procedure

  • To enable ephemeral storage for STF, set storageEphemeralEnabled: true in your ServiceTelemetry manifest.

Additional resources

For more information about enabling ephemeral storage for STF, see Section 4.6.1, “Configuring ephemeral storage”.

2.2.2. Resource allocation
Copy link

To enable the scheduling of pods within the OCP infrastructure, you need resources for the components that are running. If you do not allocate enough resources, pods remain in a Pending state because they cannot be scheduled.

The amount of resources that you require to run STF depends on your environment and the number of nodes and clouds that you want to monitor.

Additional resources

For recommendations about sizing for metrics collection see https://access.redhat.com/articles/4907241.

For information about sizing requirements for ElasticSearch, see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-managing-compute-resources.html

2.2.3. Node tuning operator
Copy link

STF uses ElasticSearch to store events, which requires a larger than normal vm.max_map_count. The vm.max_map_count value is set by default in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

If you want to edit the value of vm.max_map_count, you cannot apply node tuning manually using the sysctl command because Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform manages nodes directly. To configure values and apply them to the infrastructure, you must use the node tuning operator. For more information, see Using the Node Tuning Operator.

In an OCP deployment, the default node tuning operator specification provides the required profiles for ElasticSearch workloads or pods scheduled on nodes. To view the default cluster node tuning specification, run the following command: 

oc get Tuned/default -o yaml -n openshift-cluster-node-tuning-operator

The output of the default specification is documented at Default profiles set on a cluster. The assignment of profiles is managed in the recommend section where profiles are applied to a node when certain conditions are met. When scheduling ElasticSearch to a node in STF, one of the following profiles is applied:

  • openshift-control-plane-es
  • openshift-node-es

When scheduling an ElasticSearch pod, there must be a label present that matches tuned.openshift.io/elasticsearch. If the label is present, one of the two profiles is assigned to the pod. No action is required by the administrator if you use the recommended Operator for ElasticSearch. If you use a custom-deployed ElasticSearch with STF, ensure that you add the tuned.openshift.io/elasticsearch label to all scheduled pods.

Additional resources

For more information about virtual memory usage by ElasticSearch, see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/vm-max-map-count.html

For more information about how the profiles are applied to nodes, see Custom tuning specification.

2.3. Deploying STF to the OCP environment
Copy link

You can deploy STF to the OCP environment in one of two ways:

Complete the following tasks:

  1. Section 2.3.3, “Creating a namespace”.
  2. Section 2.3.4, “Creating an OperatorGroup”.
  3. Section 2.3.5, “Enabling the OperatorHub.io Community Catalog Source”.
  4. Section 2.3.6, “Enabling Red Hat STF Operator Source”.
  5. Section 2.3.7, “Subscribing to the AMQ Certificate Manager Operator”.
  6. Section 2.3.8, “Subscribing to the Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes Operator”.
  7. Section 2.3.9, “Subscribing to the Service Telemetry Operator”.
  8. Section 2.3.10, “Creating a ServiceTelemetry object in OCP”.

Complete the following tasks:

  1. Section 2.3.3, “Creating a namespace”.
  2. Section 2.3.4, “Creating an OperatorGroup”.
  3. Section 2.3.6, “Enabling Red Hat STF Operator Source”.
  4. Section 2.3.7, “Subscribing to the AMQ Certificate Manager Operator”.
  5. Section 2.3.9, “Subscribing to the Service Telemetry Operator”.
  6. Section 2.3.10, “Creating a ServiceTelemetry object in OCP”.

2.3.3. Creating a namespace
Copy link

Create a namespace to hold the STF components. The service-telemetry namespace is used throughout the documentation:

Procedure

  • Enter the following command: 

    oc new-project service-telemetry

2.3.4. Creating an OperatorGroup
Copy link

Create an OperatorGroup in the namespace so that you can schedule the Operator pods.

Procedure

  • Enter the following command: 

    oc apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: OperatorGroup
metadata:
  name: service-telemetry-operator-group
  namespace: service-telemetry
spec:
  targetNamespaces:
  - service-telemetry
EOF

Additional resources

For more information, see OperatorGroups.

Before you install ElasticSearch, you must have access to the resources on the OperatorHub.io Community Catalog Source:

Procedure

  • Enter the following command: 

    oc apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: operatorhubio-operators
  namespace: openshift-marketplace
spec:
  sourceType: grpc
  image: quay.io/operator-framework/upstream-community-operators:latest
  displayName: OperatorHub.io Operators
  publisher: OperatorHub.io
EOF

2.3.6. Enabling Red Hat STF Operator Source
Copy link

Before you deploy STF on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, you must enable the operator source.

Procedure

  1. Install an OperatorSource that contains the Service Telemetry Operator and the Smart Gateway Operator: 

    oc apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: OperatorSource
metadata:
  labels:
    opsrc-provider: redhat-operators-stf
  name: redhat-operators-stf
  namespace: openshift-marketplace
spec:
  authorizationToken: {}
  displayName: Red Hat STF Operators
  endpoint: https://quay.io/cnr
  publisher: Red Hat
  registryNamespace: redhat-operators-stf
  type: appregistry
EOF

  2. To validate the creation of your OperatorSource, use the oc get operatorsources command. A successful import results in the MESSAGE field returning a result of The object has been successfully reconciled. 

    $ oc get -nopenshift-marketplace operatorsource redhat-operators-stf

NAME                   TYPE          ENDPOINT              REGISTRY               DISPLAYNAME             PUBLISHER   STATUS      MESSAGE
redhat-operators-stf   appregistry   https://quay.io/cnr   redhat-operators-stf   Red Hat STF Operators   Red Hat     Succeeded   The object has been successfully reconciled

  3. To validate that the Operators are available from the catalog, use the oc get packagemanifest command: 

    $ oc get packagemanifests | grep "Red Hat STF"

smartgateway-operator                        Red Hat STF Operators      2m50s
servicetelemetry-operator                    Red Hat STF Operators      2m50s

You must subscribe to the AMQ Certificate Manager Operator before you deploy the other STF components because the AMQ Certificate Manager Operator runs globally-scoped and is not compatible with the dependency management of Operator Lifecycle Manager when used with other namespace-scoped operators.

Procedure

  1. Subscribe to the AMQ Certificate Manager Operator, create the subscription, and validate the AMQ7 Certificate Manager:

    Note

    The AMQ Certificate Manager is installed globally for all namespaces, so the namespace value provided is openshift-operators. You might not see your amq7-cert-manager.v1.0.0 ClusterServiceVersion in the service-telemetry namespace for a few minutes until the processing executes against the namespace. 

    oc apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: Subscription
metadata:
  name: amq7-cert-manager
  namespace: openshift-operators
spec:
  channel: alpha
  installPlanApproval: Automatic
  name: amq7-cert-manager
  source: redhat-operators
  sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace
EOF

  2. To validate your ClusterServiceVersion, use the oc get csv command. Ensure that amq7-cert-manager.v1.0.0 has a phase Succeeded. 

    $ oc get --namespace openshift-operators csv

NAME                       DISPLAY                                         VERSION   REPLACES   PHASE
amq7-cert-manager.v1.0.0   Red Hat Integration - AMQ Certificate Manager   1.0.0                Succeeded

Before you install the Service Telemetry Operator and if you plan to store events in ElasticSearch, you must enable the Elastic Cloud Kubernetes Operator.

Procedure

  1. Apply the following manifest to your OCP environment to enable the Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes Operator: 

    oc apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: Subscription
metadata:
  name: elastic-cloud-eck
  namespace: service-telemetry
spec:
  channel: stable
  installPlanApproval: Automatic
  name: elastic-cloud-eck
  source: operatorhubio-operators
  sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace
EOF

  2. To verify that the ClusterServiceVersion for ElasticSearch Cloud on Kubernetes succeeded, enter the oc get csv command: 

    $ oc get csv

NAME                       DISPLAY                                         VERSION   REPLACES                   PHASE
elastic-cloud-eck.v1.1.0   Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes                     1.1.0     elastic-cloud-eck.v1.0.1   Succeeded

To instantiate an STF instance, create the ServiceTelemetry object to allow the Service Telemetry Operator to create the environment.

Procedure

  1. To create the Service Telemetry Operator subscription, enter the oc apply -f command: 

    oc apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: Subscription
metadata:
  name: servicetelemetry-operator
  namespace: service-telemetry
spec:
  channel: stable
  installPlanApproval: Automatic
  name: servicetelemetry-operator
  source: redhat-operators-stf
  sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace
EOF

  2. To validate the Service Telemetry Operator and the dependent operators, enter the following command: 

    $ oc get csv --namespace service-telemetry
NAME                                DISPLAY                                         VERSION   REPLACES                            PHASE

2.3.10. Creating a ServiceTelemetry object in OCP
Copy link

To deploy the Service Telemetry Framework, you must create an instance of ServiceTelemetry in OCP. By default, eventsEnabled is set to false. If you do not want to store events in ElasticSearch, ensure that eventsEnabled is set to false. For more information, see Section 2.3.2, “Deploying STF to the OCP environment without ElasticSearch”.

The following core parameters are available for a ServiceTelemetry manifest:

Expand
Table 2.1. Core parameters for a ServiceTelemetry manifest
ParameterDescriptionDefault Value

eventsEnabled

Enable events support in STF. Requires prerequisite steps to ensure ElasticSearch can be started. For more information, see Section 2.3.8, “Subscribing to the Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes Operator”.

false

metricsEnabled

Enable metrics support in STF.

true

highAvailabilityEnabled

Enable high availability in STF. For more information, see Section 4.3, “High availability”.

false

storageEphemeralEnabled

Enable ephemeral storage support in STF. For more information, see Section 4.6, “Ephemeral storage”.

false

Procedure

  1. To store events in ElasticSearch, set eventsEnabled to true during deployment: 

    oc apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: infra.watch/v1alpha1
kind: ServiceTelemetry
metadata:
  name: stf-default
  namespace: service-telemetry
spec:
  eventsEnabled: true
  metricsEnabled: true
EOF

  2. To view the STF deployment logs in the Service Telemetry Operator, use the oc logs command: 

    oc logs $(oc get pod --selector='name=service-telemetry-operator' -oname) -c ansible
     
    PLAY RECAP ***
localhost                  : ok=37   changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=1    rescued=0    ignored=0

  3. View the pods and the status of each pod to determine that all workloads are operating nominally:

    Note

    If you set eventsEnabled: true, the notification Smart Gateways will Error and CrashLoopBackOff for a period of time before ElasticSearch starts. 

    $ oc get pods

2.4. Removing STF from the OCP environment
Copy link

Remove STF from an OCP environment if you no longer require the STF functionality.

Complete the following tasks:

  1. Section 2.4.1, “Deleting the namespace”.
  2. Section 2.4.2, “Removing the OperatorSource”.

2.4.1. Deleting the namespace
Copy link

To remove the operational resources for STF from OCP, delete the namespace.

Procedure

  1. Run the oc delete command: 

    oc delete project service-telemetry

  2. Verify that the resources have been deleted from the namespace: 

    $ oc get all
No resources found.

2.4.2. Removing the OperatorSource
Copy link

If you do not expect to install Service Telemetry Framework again, delete the OperatorSource. When you remove the OperatorSource, PackageManifests related to STF are removed from the Operator Lifecycle Manager catalog.

Procedure

  1. Delete the OperatorSource: 

    $ oc delete --namespace=openshift-marketplace operatorsource redhat-operators-stf
operatorsource.operators.coreos.com "redhat-operators-stf" deleted

  2. Verify that the STF PackageManifests are removed from the platform. If successful, the following command returns no result: 

    $ oc get packagemanifests | grep "Red Hat STF"

  3. If you enabled the OperatorHub.io Community Catalog Source during the installation process and you no longer need this catalog source, delete it: 

    $ oc delete --namespace=openshift-marketplace catalogsource operatorhubio-operators
catalogsource.operators.coreos.com "operatorhubio-operators" deleted

Additional resources

For more information about the OperatorHub.io Community Catalog Source, see Section 2.3, “Deploying STF to the OCP environment”.

To collect metrics, events, or both, and to send them to the Service Telemetry Framework (STF) storage domain, you must configure the Red Hat OpenStack Platform overcloud to enable data collection and transport.

To deploy data collection and transport to STF on Red Hat OpenStack Platform cloud nodes that employ routed L3 domains, such as distributed compute node (DCN) or spine-leaf, see Section 3.2, “Deploying to non-standard network topologies”.

3.2. Deploying to non-standard network topologies
Copy link

If your nodes are on a separate network from the default InternalApi network, you must make configuration adjustments so that AMQ Interconnect can transport data to the Service Telemetry Framework (STF) server instance. This scenario is typical in a spine-leaf or a DCN topology. For more information about DCN configuration, see the Spine Leaf Networking guide.

If you use STF with Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.0 and plan to monitor your Ceph, Block, or Object storage nodes, you must make configuration changes that are similar to the configuration changes that you make to the spine-leaf and DCN network configuration. To monitor Ceph nodes, use the CephStorageExtraConfig parameter to define which network interface to load into the AMQ Interconnect and collectd configuration files. 

  CephStorageExtraConfig:
      tripleo::profile::base::metrics::collectd::amqp_host: "%{hiera('storage')}"
      tripleo::profile::base::metrics::qdr::listener_addr: "%{hiera('storage')}"
      tripleo::profile::base::ceilometer::agent::notification::notifier_host_addr: "%{hiera('storage')}"

Similarly, you must specify BlockStorageExtraConfig and ObjectStorageExtraConfig parameters if your environment uses Block and Object storage roles.

The deployment of a spine-leaf topology involves creating roles and networks, then assigning those networks to the available roles. When you configure data collection and transport for STF for an Red Hat OpenStack Platform deployment, the default network for roles is InternalApi. For Ceph, Block and Object storage roles, the default network is Storage. Because a spine-leaf configuration can result in different networks being assigned to different Leaf groupings and those names are typically unique, additional configuration is required in the parameter_defaults section of the Red Hat OpenStack Platform environment files.

Procedure

  1. Document which networks are available for each of the Leaf roles. For examples of network name definitions, see Creating a network data file in the Spine Leaf Networking guide. For more information about the creation of the Leaf groupings (roles) and assignment of the networks to those groupings, see Creating a roles data file in the Spine Leaf Networking guide.

  2. Add the following configuration example to the ExtraConfig section for each of the leaf roles. In this example, internal_api_subnet is the value defined in the name_lower parameter of your network definition (with _subnet appended to the name for Leaf 0) , and is the network to which the ComputeLeaf0 leaf role is connected. In this case, the network identification of 0 corresponds to the Compute role for leaf 0, and represents a value that is different from the default internal API network name.

    For the ComputeLeaf0 leaf role, specify extra configuration to perform a hiera lookup to determine which network interface for a particular network to assign to the collectd AMQP host parameter. Perform the same configuration for the AMQ Interconnect listener address parameter. 

    ComputeLeaf0ExtraConfig:
›   tripleo::profile::base::metrics::collectd::amqp_host: "%{hiera('internal_api_subnet')}"
›   tripleo::profile::base::metrics::qdr::listener_addr: "%{hiera('internal_api_subnet')}"

    Additional leaf roles typically replace _subnet with _leafN where N represents a unique indentifier for the leaf.

To configure the Red Hat OpenStack Platform overcloud, you must configure the data collection applications and the data transport to STF, and deploy the overcloud.

To configure the Red Hat OpenStack Platform overcloud, complete the following tasks:

  1. Section 3.3.1, “Retrieving the AMQ Interconnect route address”
  2. Section 3.3.2, “Configuring the STF connection for the overcloud”
  3. Section 3.3.3, “Validating client-side installation”

When you configure the Red Hat OpenStack Platform overcloud for STF, you must provide the AMQ Interconnect route address in the STF connection file.

Procedure

  1. Log in to your Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) environment.

  2. In the service-telemetry project, retrieve the AMQ Interconnect route address: 

    $ oc get routes -ogo-template='{{ range .items }}{{printf "%s\n" .spec.host }}{{ end }}' | grep "\-5671"
stf-default-interconnect-5671-service-telemetry.apps.infra.watch
    Note

    If your STF installation differs from the documentation, ensure that you retrieve the correct AMQ Interconnect route address.

To configure the STF connection, you must create a file that contains the connection configuration of the AMQ Interconnect for the overcloud to the STF deployment. Enable the collection of events and storage of the events in STF and deploy the overcloud.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Red Hat OpenStack Platform undercloud as the stack user.

  2. Create a configuration file called stf-connectors.yaml in the /home/stack directory.

    Important

    The Service Telemetry Operator simplifies the deployment of all data ingestion and data storage components for single cloud deployments. To share the data storage domain with multiple clouds, see Section 4.5, “Configuring multiple clouds”.

  3. In the stf-connectors.yaml file, configure the MetricsQdrConnectors address to connect the AMQ Interconnect on the overcloud to the STF deployment.

    • Add the CeilometerQdrPublishEvents: true parameter to enable collection and transport of Ceilometer events to STF.

    • Replace the host parameter with the value of HOST/PORT that you retrieved in Section 3.3.1, “Retrieving the AMQ Interconnect route address”: 

      parameter_defaults:
    EventPipelinePublishers: []
    CeilometerQdrPublishEvents: true
    MetricsQdrConnectors:
    - host: stf-default-interconnect-5671-service-telemetry.apps.infra.watch
      port: 443
      role: edge
      sslProfile: sslProfile
      verifyHostname: false

  4. Add the following files to your Red Hat OpenStack Platform director deployment to setup collectd and AMQ Interconnect:

    • the stf-connectors.yaml environment file
    • the enable-stf.yaml file that ensures that the environment is being used during the overcloud deployment

    • the ceilometer-write-qdr.yaml file that ensures that Ceilometer telemetry is sent to STF 

      openstack overcloud deploy <other arguments>
  --templates /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates \
  --environment-file <...other-environment-files...> \
  --environment-file /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/metrics/ceilometer-write-qdr.yaml \
  --environment-file /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/enable-stf.yaml \
  --environment-file /home/stack/stf-connectors.yaml
  5. Deploy the Red Hat OpenStack Platform overcloud.

3.3.3. Validating client-side installation
Copy link

To validate data collection from the STF storage domain, query the data sources for delivered data. To validate individual nodes in the Red Hat OpenStack Platform deployment, connect to the console using SSH.

Procedure

  1. Log in to an overcloud node, for example, controller-0.

  2. Ensure that metrics_qdr container is running on the node: 

    $ sudo podman container inspect --format '{{.State.Status}}' metrics_qdr

running

  3. Return the internal network address on which AMQ Interconnect is running, for example, 172.17.1.44 listening on port 5666: 

    $ sudo podman exec -it metrics_qdr cat /etc/qpid-dispatch/qdrouterd.conf

listener {
    host: 172.17.1.44
    port: 5666
    authenticatePeer: no
    saslMechanisms: ANONYMOUS
}

  4. Return a list of connections to the local AMQ Interconnect: 

    $ sudo podman exec -it metrics_qdr qdstat --bus=172.17.1.44:5666 --connections

Chapter 4. Advanced features
Copy link

The following optional features can provide additional functionality to the Service Telemetry Framework (STF):

4.1. Customizing the deployment
Copy link

The Service Telemetry Operator watches for a ServiceTelemetry manifest to load into Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP). The Operator then creates other objects in memory, which results in the dependent Operators creating the workloads they are responsible for managing.

Warning

When you override the manifest, you must provide the entire manifest contents, including object names or namespaces. There is no dynamic parameter substitution when you override a manifest.

To override a manifest successfully with Service Telemetry Framework (STF), deploy a default environment using the core options only. For more information about the core options, see Section 2.3.10, “Creating a ServiceTelemetry object in OCP”. When you deploy STF, use the oc get command to retrieve the default deployed manifest. When you use a manifest that was originally generated by Service Telemetry Operator, the manifest is compatible with the other objects that are managed by the Operators.

For example, when the metricsEnabled: true parameter is configured in the ServiceTelemetry manifest, the Service Telemetry Operator requests components for metrics retrieval and storage using the default manifests. In some cases, you might want to override the default manifest. For more information, see Section 4.1.1, “Manifest override parameters”.

4.1.1. Manifest override parameters
Copy link

This table describes the available parameters that you can use to override a manifest, along with the corresponding retrieval commands.

Expand
Table 4.1. Manifest override parameters
Override parameterDescriptionRetrieval command

alertmanagerManifest

Override the Alertmanager object creation. The Prometheus Operator watches for Alertmanager objects.

oc get alertmanager stf-default -oyaml

alertmanagerConfigManifest

Override the Secret that contains the Alertmanager configuration. The Prometheus Operator uses a secret named alertmanager-{{ alertmanager-name }}, for example, stf-default, to provide the alertmanager.yaml configuration to Alertmanager.

oc get secret alertmanager-stf-default -oyaml

elasticsearchManifest

Override the ElasticSearch object creation. The Elastic Cloud on Kuberneters Operator watches for ElasticSearch objects.

oc get elasticsearch elasticsearch -oyaml

interconnectManifest

Override the Interconnect object creation. The AMQ Interconnect Operator watches for Interconnect objects.

oc get interconnect stf-default-interconnect -oyaml

prometheusManifest

Override the Prometheus object creation. The Prometheus Operator watches for Prometheus objects.

oc get prometheus stf-default -oyaml

servicemonitorManifest

Override the ServiceMonitor object creation. The Prometheus Operator watches for ServiceMonitor objects.

oc get servicemonitor stf-default -oyaml

smartgatewayCollectdMetricsManifest

Override the SmartGateway object creation for collectd metrics. The Smart Gateway Operator watches for SmartGateway objects.

oc get smartgateway stf-default-collectd-telemetry -oyaml

smartgatewayCollectdEventsManifest

Override the SmartGateway object creation for collectd events. The Smart Gateway Operator watches for SmartGateway objects.

oc get smartgateway stf-default-collectd-notification -oyaml

smartgatewayCeilometerEventsManifest

Override the SmartGateway object creation for Ceilometer events. The Smart Gateway Operator watches for SmartGateway objects.

oc get smartgateway stf-default-ceilometer-notification -oyaml

4.1.2. Overriding a managed manifest
Copy link

Edit the ServiceTelemetry object and provide a parameter and manifest. For a list of available manifest override parameters, see Section 4.1, “Customizing the deployment”. The default ServiceTelemetry object is stf-default. Use oc get servicetelemetry to list the available STF deployments.

Tip

The oc edit command loads the default system editor. To override the default editor, pass or set the environment variable EDITOR to the preferred editor. For example, EDITOR=nano oc edit servicetelemetry stf-default.

Procedure
  1. Log in to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

  2. Change to the service-telemetry namespace: 

    oc project service-telemetry

  3. Load the ServiceTelemetry object into an editor: 

    oc edit servicetelemetry stf-default

  4. To modify the ServiceTelemetry object, provide a manifest override parameter and the contents of the manifest to write to OCP instead of the defaults provided by STF.

    Note

    The trailing pipe (|) after entering the manifest override parameter indicates that the value provided is multi-line.

4.2. Alerts
Copy link

You create alert rules in Prometheus and alert routes in Alertmanager. Alert rules in Prometheus servers send alerts to an Alertmanager, which manages the alerts. Alertmanager can silence, inhibit, or aggregate alerts, and send notifications using email, on-call notification systems, or chat platforms.

To create an alert, complete the following tasks:

  1. Create an alert rule in Prometheus. For more information, see Section 4.2.1, “Creating an alert rule in Prometheus”.
  2. Create an alert route in Alertmanager. For more information, see Section 4.2.3, “Creating an alert route in Alertmanager”.

4.2.1. Creating an alert rule in Prometheus
Copy link

Prometheus evaluates alert rules to trigger notifications. If the rule condition returns an empty result set, the condition is false. Otherwise, the rule is true and it triggers an alert.

Procedure
  1. Log in to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

  2. Change to the service-telemetry namespace: 

    oc project service-telemetry

  3. Create a PrometheusRule object that contains the alert rule. The Prometheus Operator loads the rule into Prometheus: 

    oc apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
kind: PrometheusRule
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: null
  labels:
    prometheus: stf-default
    role: alert-rules
  name: prometheus-alarm-rules
  namespace: service-telemetry
spec:
  groups:
    - name: ./openstack.rules
      rules:
        - alert: Metric Listener down
          expr: collectd_qpid_router_status < 1 # To change the rule, edit the value of the expr parameter.
EOF

  4. To verify that the rules have been loaded into Prometheus by the Operator, create a pod with access to curl: 

    oc run curl --generator=run-pod/v1 --image=radial/busyboxplus:curl -i --tty

  5. Run curl to access the prometheus-operated service to return the rules loaded into memory: 

    [ root@curl:/ ]$ curl prometheus-operated:9090/api/v1/rules
{"status":"success","data":{"groups":[{"name":"./openstack.rules","file":"/etc/prometheus/rules/prometheus-stf-default-rulefiles-0/service-telemetry-prometheus-alarm-rules.yaml","rules":[{"name":"Metric Listener down","query":"collectd_qpid_router_status \u003c 1","duration":0,"labels":{},"annotations":{},"alerts":[],"health":"ok","type":"alerting"}],"interval":30}]}}

  6. To verify that the output shows the rules loaded into the PrometheusRule object, for example the output contains the defined ./openstack.rules, exit from the pod: 

    [ root@curl:/ ]$ exit

  7. Clean up the environment by deleting the curl pod: 

    $ oc delete pod curl

pod "curl" deleted

4.2.2. Configuring custom alerts
Copy link

You can add custom alerts to the PrometheusRule object that you created in Section 4.2.1, “Creating an alert rule in Prometheus”.

Procedure

  1. Use the oc edit command: 

    oc edit prometheusrules prometheus-alarm-rules
  2. Edit the PrometheusRules manifest.
  3. Save and close.

For more information about PrometheusRules objects, see https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/user-guides/alerting.md

4.2.3. Creating an alert route in Alertmanager
Copy link

Use Alertmanager to deliver alerts to an external system, such as email, IRC, or other notification channel. The Prometheus Operator manages the Alertmanager configuration as an Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) secret. STF by default deploys a basic configuration that results in no receivers: 

alertmanager.yaml: |-
  global:
    resolve_timeout: 5m
  route:
    group_by: ['job']
    group_wait: 30s
    group_interval: 5m
    repeat_interval: 12h
    receiver: 'null'
  receivers:
  - name: 'null'

To deploy a custom Alertmanager route with STF, an alertmanagerConfigManifest parameter must be passed to the Service Telemetry Operator that results in an updated secret, managed by the Prometheus Operator. For more information, see Section 4.1.2, “Overriding a managed manifest”.

Procedure
  1. Log in to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

  2. Change to the service-telemetry namespace: 

    oc project service-telemetry

  3. Edit the ServiceTelemetry object for your STF deployment 

    oc edit servicetelemetry stf-default

  4. Add a new parameter, alertmanagerConfigManifest and the Secret object contents to define the alertmanager.yaml configuration for Alertmanager:

    Note

    This loads the default template that is already managed by Service Telemetry Operator. To validate the changes are populating correctly, change a value, return the alertmanager-stf-default secret, and verify that the new value is loaded into memory, for example, changing the value global.resolve_timeout from 5m to 10m. 

    apiVersion: infra.watch/v1alpha1
kind: ServiceTelemetry
metadata:
  name: stf-default
  namespace: service-telemetry
spec:
  metricsEnabled: true
  alertmanagerConfigManifest: |
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: 'alertmanager-stf-default'
      namespace: 'service-telemetry'
    type: Opaque
    stringData:
      alertmanager.yaml: |-
        global:
          resolve_timeout: 10m
        route:
          group_by: ['job']
          group_wait: 30s
          group_interval: 5m
          repeat_interval: 12h
          receiver: 'null'
        receivers:
        - name: 'null'

  5. Verify that the configuration was applied to the secret: 

    $ oc get secret alertmanager-stf-default -o go-template='{{index .data "alertmanager.yaml" | base64decode }}'

global:
  resolve_timeout: 10m
route:
  group_by: ['job']
  group_wait: 30s
  group_interval: 5m
  repeat_interval: 12h
  receiver: 'null'
receivers:
- name: 'null'

  6. To verify the configuration has been loaded into Alertmanager, create a pod with access to curl: 

    oc run curl --generator=run-pod/v1 --image=radial/busyboxplus:curl -i --tty

  7. Run curl against the alertmanager-operated service to retrieve the status and configYAML contents and review the supplied configuration matches the configuration loaded into Alertmanager: 

    [ root@curl:/ ]$ curl alertmanager-operated:9093/api/v1/status

{"status":"success","data":{"configYAML":"global:\n  resolve_timeout: 10m\n  http_config: {}\n  smtp_hello: localhost\n  smtp_require_tls: true\n  pagerduty_url: https://events.pagerduty.com/v2/enqueue\n  hipchat_api_url: https://api.hipchat.com/\n  opsgenie_api_url: https://api.opsgenie.com/\n  wechat_api_url: https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/\n  victorops_api_url: https://alert.victorops.com/integrations/generic/20131114/alert/\nroute:\n  receiver: \"null\"\n  group_by:\n  - job\n  group_wait: 30s\n  group_interval: 5m\n  repeat_interval: 12h\nreceivers:\n- name: \"null\"\ntemplates: []\n",...}}

  8. Verify that the configYAML field contains the expected changes. Exit from the pod: 

    [ root@curl:/ ]$ exit

  9. To clean up the environment, delete the curl pod: 

    $ oc delete pod curl

pod "curl" deleted

4.3. High availability
Copy link

High availability is the ability of Service Telemetry Framework (STF) to rapidly recover from failures in its component services. Although Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) restarts a failed pod if nodes are available to schedule the workload, this recovery process might take more than one minute, during which time events and metrics are lost. A high availability configuration includes multiple copies of STF components, reducing recovery time to approximately 2 seconds. To protect against failure of an OCP node, deploy STF to an OCP cluster with three or more nodes.

Note

STF is not yet a fully fault tolerant system. Delivery of metrics and events during the recovery period is not guaranteed.

Enabling high availability has the following effects:

  • Two AMQ Interconnect pods run instead of the default 1.
  • Three ElasticSearch pods run instead of the default 1.
  • Recovery time from a lost pod in either of these services reduces to approximately 2 seconds.

4.3.1. Configuring high availability
Copy link

To configure STF for high availability, add highAvailabilityEnabled: true to the ServiceTelemetry object in OCP. You can this set this parameter at installation time or, if you already deployed STF, complete the following steps:

Procedure
  1. Log in to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

  2. Change to the service-telemetry namespace: 

    oc project service-telemetry

  3. Use the oc command to edit the ServiceTelemetry object: 

    $ oc edit ServiceTelemetry

  4. Add highAvailabilityEnabled: true to the spec section: 

    spec:
  eventsEnabled: true
  metricsEnabled: true
  highAvailabilityEnabled: true
  5. Save your changes and close the object.

4.4. Dashboards
Copy link

Use third-party application Grafana to visualize system-level metrics gathered by collectd for each individual host node. For more information about configuring collectd, see Section 3.3, “Configuring Red Hat OpenStack Platform overcloud for Service Telemetry Framework”.

4.4.1. Setting up Grafana to host the dashboard
Copy link

Grafana is not included in the default Service Telemetry Framework (STF) deployment so you must deploy the Grafana Operator from OperatorHub.io.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

  2. Change to the service-telemetry namespace: 

    oc project service-telemetry

  3. Clone the dashboard repository. 

    git clone https://github.com/infrawatch/dashboards
cd dashboards

  4. Deploy the Grafana operator: 

    oc create -f deploy/subscription.yaml

  5. To verify that the operator launched successfully, run the oc get csv command. If the value of the PHASE column is Succeeded, the operator launched successfully: 

    $ oc get csv

NAME                                DISPLAY                                         VERSION   REPLACES                            PHASE
grafana-operator.v3.2.0             Grafana Operator                                3.2.0                                         Succeeded
...

  6. Launch a Grafana instance: 

    $ oc create -f deploy/grafana.yaml

  7. Verify that the Grafana instance deployed: 

    $ oc get pod -l app=grafana

NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
grafana-deployment-7fc7848b56-sbkhv   1/1     Running   0          1m

  8. Create the datasource and dashboard resources: 

    oc create -f deploy/datasource.yaml \
    -f deploy/rhos-dashboard.yaml

  9. Verify that the resources installed correctly: 

    $ oc get grafanadashboards

NAME             AGE
rhos-dashboard   7d21h

$ oc get grafanadatasources
NAME                                  AGE
service-telemetry-grafanadatasource   1m

  10. Navigate to https://<grafana-route-address> in a web browser. Use the oc get routes command to retrieve the Grafana route address: 

    oc get routes
  11. To view the dashboard, click Dashboards and Manage.

4.5. Configuring multiple clouds
Copy link

You can configure multiple Red Hat OpenStack Platform clouds to target a single instance of Service Telemetry Framework (STF):

  1. Plan the AMQP address prefixes that you want to use for each cloud. For more information, see Section 4.5.1, “Planning AMQP address prefixes”.
  2. Deploy metrics and events consumer Smart Gateways for each cloud to listen on the corresponding address prefixes. For more information, see Section 4.5.2, “Deploying Smart Gateways”.
  3. Configure each cloud to send its metrics and events to STF on the correct address. For more information, see Section 4.5.3, “Creating the OpenStack environment file”.

Figure 4.1. Two Red Hat OpenStack Platform clouds connect to STF

OpenStack STF Overview 37 0919 topology

4.5.1. Planning AMQP address prefixes
Copy link

By default, Red Hat OpenStack Platform nodes get data through two data collectors; collectd and Ceilometer. These components send telemetry data or notifications to the respective AMQP addresses, for example, collectd/telemetry, where STF Smart Gateways listen on those addresses for monitoring data.

To support multiple clouds and to identify which cloud generated the monitoring data, configure each cloud to send data to a unique address. Prefix a cloud identifier to the second part of the address. The following list shows some example addresses and identifiers:

  • collectd/cloud1-telemetry
  • collectd/cloud1-notify
  • anycast/ceilometer/cloud1-event.sample
  • collectd/cloud2-telemetry
  • collectd/cloud2-notify
  • anycast/ceilometer/cloud2-event.sample
  • collectd/us-east-1-telemetry
  • collectd/us-west-3-telemetry

4.5.2. Deploying Smart Gateways
Copy link

You must deploy a Smart Gateway for each of the data collection types for each cloud; one for collectd metrics, one for collectd events, and one for Ceilometer events. Configure each of the Smart Gateways to listen on the AMQP address that you define for the corresponding cloud.

When you deploy STF for the first time, Smart Gateway manifests are created that define the initial Smart Gateways for a single cloud. When deploying Smart Gateways for multiple cloud support, you deploy multiple Smart Gateways for each of the data collection types that handle the metrics and the events data for each cloud. The initial Smart Gateways act as a template to create additional Smart Gateways, along with any authentication information required to connect to the data stores.

Procedure
  1. Log in to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

  2. Change to the service-telemetry namespace: 

    oc project service-telemetry

  3. Use the initially deployed Smart Gateways as a template for additional Smart Gateways. List the currently deployed Smart Gateways with the oc get smartgateways command. For example, if you deployed STF with metricsEnabled: true and eventsEnabled: true, the following Smart Gateways are displayed in the output: 

    $ oc get smartgateways

NAME                                         AGE
stf-default-ceilometer-notification          14d
stf-default-collectd-notification            14d
stf-default-collectd-telemetry               14d

  4. Retrieve the manifests for each Smart Gateway and store the contents in a temporary file, which you can modify later and use to create the new set of Smart Gateways: 

    truncate --size 0 /tmp/cloud1-smartgateways.yaml && \
for sg in $(oc get smartgateways -oname)
do
  echo "---" >> /tmp/cloud1-smartgateways.yaml
  oc get ${sg} -oyaml --export >> /tmp/cloud1-smartgateways.yaml
done
  5. Modify the Smart Gateway manifest in the /tmp/cloud1-smartgateways.yaml file. Adjust the metadata.name and spec.amqpUrl fields to include the cloud identifier from your schema. For more information, see ]. To view example Smart Gateway manifests, see <<example-manifests_advanced-features[.

  6. Deploy your new Smart Gateways: 

    oc apply -f /tmp/cloud1-smartgateways.yaml

  7. Verify that each Smart Gateway is running. This can take several minutes depending on the number of Smart Gateways: 

    oc get po -l app=smart-gateway
4.5.2.1. Example manifests
Copy link
Important

The content in the following examples might be different to the file content in your deployment. Copy the manifests in your deployment.

Ensure that the name and amqpUrl parameters of each Smart Gateway match the names that you want to use for your clouds. For more information, see Section 4.5.1, “Planning AMQP address prefixes”.

Note

Your output may have some additional metadata parameters that you can remove from the manifests you that load into OCP.

4.5.3. Creating the OpenStack environment file
Copy link

To label traffic according to the cloud of origin, you must create a configuration with cloud-specific instance names. Create an stf-connectors.yaml file and adjust the values of CeilometerQdrEventsConfig and CollectdAmqpInstances to match the AMQP address prefix scheme. For more information, see Section 4.5.1, “Planning AMQP address prefixes”.

Warning

Remove enable-stf.yaml and ceilometer-write-qdr.yaml environment file references from your overcloud deployment. This configuration is redundant and results in duplicate information being sent from each cloud node.

Procedure
  1. Create the stf-connectors.yaml file and modify it to match the AMQP address that you want for this cloud deployment: 
resource_registry:
    OS::TripleO::Services::Collectd: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/deployment/metrics/collectd-container-puppet.yaml

+ <1> Define the topic for Ceilometer events. This value is the address format of anycast/ceilometer/cloud1-event.sample. <2> Define the topic for collectd events. This value is the format of collectd/cloud1-notify. <3> Define the topic for collectd metrics. This value is the format of collectd/cloud1-telemetry. <4> Adjust the MetricsQdrConnectors host to the address of the STF route.

  1. Ensure that the naming convention in the stf-connectors.yaml file aligns with the spec.amqpUrl field in the Smart Gateway configuration. For example, configure the CeilometerQdrEventsConfig.topic field to a value of cloud1-event.
  2. Save the file in a directory for custom environment files, for example /home/stack/custom_templates/.

  3. Source the authentication file: 

    [stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ source stackrc

(undercloud) [stack@undercloud-0 ~]$

  4. Include the stf-connectors.yaml file in the overcloud deployment command, along with any other environment files relevant to your environment: 

    (undercloud) [stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ openstack overcloud deploy \
--templates /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates \
...
-e /home/stack/custom_templates/stf-connectors.yaml \
...

4.5.4. Querying metrics data from multiple clouds
Copy link

Data stored in Prometheus has a service label attached according to the Smart Gateway it was scraped from. You can use this label to query data from a specific cloud.

To query data from a specific cloud, use a Prometheus promql query that matches the associated service label; for example: collectd_uptime{service="stf-default-collectd-telemetry-cloud1-smartgateway"}.

Use ephemeral storage to run Service Telemetry Framework (STF) without persistently storing data in your Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) cluster. Ephemeral storage is not recommended in a production environment due to the volatility of the data in the platform when operating correctly and as designed. For example, restarting a pod or rescheduling the workload to another node results in the loss of any local data written since the pod started.

If you enable ephemeral storage in STF, the Service Telemetry Operator does not add the relevant storage sections to the data storage components manifests.

4.6.1. Configuring ephemeral storage
Copy link

To configure STF for ephemeral storage, add storageEphemeralEnabled: true to the ServiceTelemetry object in OCP. You can add storageEphemeralEnabled: true at installation time or, if you already deployed STF, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Log in to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

  2. Change to the service-telemetry namespace: 

    oc project service-telemetry

  3. Edit the ServiceTelemetry object: 

    $ oc edit ServiceTelemetry stf-default

  4. Add the storageEphemeralEnabled: true parameter to the spec section: 

    spec:
  eventsEnabled: true
  metricsEnabled: true
  storageEphemeralEnabled: true
  5. Save your changes and close the object.
