This repository contains the source code of the snap for the OpenStack Data Collection service, Ceilometer.

The ceilometer snap can be installed directly from the snap store:

sudo snap install [--edge] ceilometer

Snaps run in an AppArmor and seccomp confined profile, so don't read configuration from /etc/ceilometer on the hosting operating system install.

This snap supports configuration via the $SNAP_COMMON writable area for the snap:

etc
├── ceilometer
│   ├── ceilometer.conf
└── ceilometer.conf.d
    └── ceilometer-snap.conf

The ceilometer daemons (api, collector, agent-notification, agent-central) can be configured in a few ways.

Firstly each daemon will detect and read etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf.

Alternatively all daemons will load all configuration files from etc/ceilometer.conf.d if needed.

For reference, $SNAP_COMMON is typically located under /var/snap/ceilometer/common.

Currently all snap binaries must be run as root; for example, to run the ceilometer-api binary use:

sudo ceilometer.manage

To restart all ceilometer services:

sudo systemctl restart snap.ceilometer.*

or use the individual service name:

sudo systemctl restart snap.ceilometer.api
sudo systemctl restart snap.ceilometer.agent-central

Simply clone this repository and then install and run snapcraft:

git clone https://github.com/openstack-snaps/snap-ceilometer
sudo apt install snapcraft
cd snap-ceilometer
snapcraft
