Plugin collects metrics by communicating with OpenStack by REST API. It can run locally on the host, or in proxy mode (communicating with the host via HTTP(S)).

• OpenStack deployment available
• Supports Glance v1 and v2 APIs

All OSs currently supported by Snap:

• Linux/amd64

You can get the pre-built binaries for your OS and architecture from the plugin's GitHub Releases page. Download the plugin from the latest release and load it into snapteld (/opt/snap/plugins is the default location for Snap packages).

Fork https://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap-plugin-collector-glance Clone repo into $GOPATH/src/github.com/intelsdi-x/:

$ git clone https://github.com/<yourGithubID>/snap-plugin-collector-glance.git

Build the Snap glance plugin by running make within the cloned repo:

$ make

This builds the plugin in ./build/

• Set up the Snap framework.
• Create Global Config, see description in [Snap's Global Config] (#snaps-global-config).
• Load the plugin and create a task, see example in Examples.

• It is not recommended to set interval for task less than 20 seconds. This may lead to overloading Glance API with requests.

This plugin has the ability to gather the following metrics:

Global configuration files are described in Snap's documentation. You have to add section "glance" in "collector" section and then specify following options:

• "tenant" - name of the tenant, this parameter is optional. It can be provided at later stage, in task manifest configuration section for metrics.

See example Global Config in [examples/cfg] (examples/cfg/cfg.json).

###Task manifest User need to provide following parameters in configuration for collector:

• "endpoint" - URL for OpenStack Identity endpoint aka Keystone (ex. "http://keystone.public.org:5000")
• "tenant" - name of the tenant, this is required if not provided in global config
• "user" - user name which has access to tenant
• "password" - user password

See example task manifest in [examples/task] (examples/tasks/task.json).

Example of running Snap glance collector and writing data to file.

Download an example Snap global config file.

$ curl -sfLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intelsdi-x/snap-plugin-collector-glance/master/examples/cfg/cfg.json

Ensure to provide your Keystone instance address and credentials.

Ensure Snap daemon is running with provided configuration file:

• command line: snapteld -l 1 -t 0 --config cfg.json&

There isn't a current roadmap for this plugin, but it is in active development. As we launch this plugin, we do not have any outstanding requirements for the next release.

This repository is one of many plugins in Snap, a powerful telemetry framework. See the full project at http://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap.

To reach out to other users, head to the main framework.

We love contributions!

There's more than one way to give back, from examples to blogs to code updates. See our recommended process in CONTRIBUTING.md.
