Hello, I am planning to develop a tool for network debugging. Initially, it will handle DVR case, which can also be extended to other too. Based on my OpenStack deployment/operations experience, I am planning to handle common pitfalls/misconfigurations, such as: 1) check external gateway validity 2) check if appropriate qrouter/qdhcp/fip namespaces are created in compute/network hosts 3) execute probing commands inside namespaces, to verify reachability 4) etc.
I came across neutron-debug [1], which mostly focuses on namespace debugging. Its coverage is limited to OpenStack, while I am planning to cover compute/network nodes as well. In my experience, I had to ssh to the host(s) to accurately diagnose the failure (e.g., 1, 2 cases above). The tool I am considering will handle these, given the host credentials. I'd like get community's feedback on utility of such debugging tool. Do people use neutron-debug on their OpenStack environment? Does the tool I am planning to develop with complete diagnosis coverage sound useful? Anyone is interested to join the development? All feedback are welcome.
