Please note: This schedule is for OpenStack Active Technical Contributors participating in the Icehouse Design Summit sessions in Hong Kong. These are working sessions to determine the roadmap of the Icehouse release and make decisions across the project. To see the full OpenStack Summit schedule, including presentations, panels and workshops, go to http://openstacksummitnovember2013.sched.org.
This session will include the following subject(s):
Expose hardware sensor (IPMI) data:
Ceilometer would like to monitor hardware that can not have a local agent (eg., nova-baremetal and ironic tenants).
Since Ironic already requires the IPMI credentials for the hardware it manages, it seems logical for Ironic to expose a mechanism for polling hardware sensor data via IPMI. This API would then be consumed by Ceilometer (and possibly by other services as well).
Let's get the Ceilometer and Ironic teams together to talk about this!
(Session proposed by Devananda)
Canary monitoring integration:
We wrote and maintain Canary (https://github.com/gridcentric/canary), a tool for monitoring OpenStack physical infrastructure. Given that Ceilometer is now taking on some of those responsibilities, we'd like to contribute code and ideas implemented in Canary into Ceilometer in order to have a single, powerful project for OpenStack monitoring.
This session could serve as both an opportunity to discuss different approaches to physical host monitoring (including specific design decisions that we made that were different from Ceilometer) and flesh out a path for implementing and integrating any relevant ideas from Canary.
