Re: How to query ceilometer to get nova-specific data

 

Hi
Try to see if your daemons (api, collector, central agent, compute agent) are working without having issues. (see logs)!Have you configured your ceilometer.conf file or is the default one? Are shore that you are filing your data base?
Cheers

Hey, Brent!

Yes, I am using admin as the user for querying and keystone user-role-list has admin as one of its roles.

Jobin,

Please ensure that the token you are using was obtained with a user having the admin role.

Thanks Claudio for your detailed explanation, but the query returns me an empty list: [] Is something wrong with my nova-* or ceilometer-*?

Hi
Well, i am also trying to decode all the meters that ceilometer can return, and how to do most of the queries, but, to query some specific data, what I am doing is:Firs get the resource id number and then query using parameters in the curl command.



This is what I already tested:Get the resource id from what you want to query ceilometer
$ curl -X GET -H 'X-Auth-Token:<my_token_here' "http://localhost:8777/v2/resources | python -mjson.tool"   



And then query with: 
$curl -X GET -H 'X-Auth-Token:<my_token_here' "http://localhost:8777/v2/meters/cpu?q.field=resource_id&q.value=<resource_id_here> | python -mjson.tool"



Remember that option "q" is to filter rules for the resources to be returned, and try to use python mjson.tool, just for having something legible in your terminal.



Good luck :)

Hey, Claudio!

The command I executed is the second command in the page that you gave(which
 is also the one I am referring to). Can you please pin-point what is 
the mistake in the command or counsel what is the right one to get 
nova-specific data? By the way, I replaced resource_id with the actual ID of the resource I wanted.

Hi Jobin
I think that your Curl command is not right. Look into this page for more info about meters from ceilometer.

Subject: [Openstack] How to query ceilometer to get nova-specific data

Hey, all!


I installed ceilometer on Ubuntu 12.04 using the manual installation guide given here. However, I am having trouble getting data from it. When I do a ceilometer meter-list, all I get is a table with 4 rows with the names: image and image.size and its parameters; no CPU, vCPU and memory.






When I query using curl, I get some data regarding images installed and their sizes and ID and date of creation, etc.; no nova-specific data. This is how I query ceilometer using curl:

curl -X GET -H 'X-Auth-Token:<my_token_here' "http://localhost:8777/v2/resources/resource_id";






This returns a 404 Not Found error.

These are my primary concerns:

1) How do I query to get the CPU resources utilized by my virtual machines?






2) How do I decide on which port I have to pass this query? There are some documents which have v1 instead of v2 in the URL, I would like to have clarification on that too.






Thanks for your patience.
