Collectd exposes statistics that facilitate more resilient and performant telco/NFV clouds.
It is vital to monitor systems for malfunctions that could lead to users’ application service disruption and promptly react to these fault events to facilitate improving overall system performance.
By providing Ceilometer with system statistics from collectd, there is more data available, which can be used for monitoring, performance analysis, fault detection, etc. using OPNFV Doctor-prescribed enhancements to OpenStack, action can then be taken to negate the effects of any faults in the deployment.
Gaps have been identified and work to improve OpenStack to enable a more fault tolerant cloud environment is well underway. A key part of this work includes expanding the amount of data available about the system (e.g. DPDK statistics), and improving alarming functionality in OpenStack Aodh.
The Telecom/NFV track is brought to you by OpenStack and OPNFV.
Attendees can expect to learn about:
- Measuring and enforcing Traffic Quality Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) (Service Assurance) in OpenStack, including efforts to provide interfaces and functions in DPDK, collectd and OpenStack to support monitoring of resources in the NFVI such as network interfaces while a VNF is in service, including:
- Exposing KPIs, monitoring the packet processing paths in DPDK and relaying the information to OpenStack.
- Unlocking additional statistics via Collectd and interact with Ceilometer through collectd plug-ins, making existing statistics available quickly and easily.
- Combining these components in a telemetry-enhanced platform - Notification and failover action enhancements undertaken by the Doctor project to essentially build an NFVI fault management and maintenance framework that supports Network Services high availability on top of the virtualized infrastructure
- Next steps, use cases and how the community is committed to improving OpenStack in this area
