Re: [Openstack-operators] [gnocchi] monitoring storage use case inquiry

[gordon chung]

thanks for the feedback.

the original reason for dropping it was because there was no active development 
on the driver for many months and it remained broken (functionality and from 
testing pov) so rather than mislead people and say the driver worked, we 
thought it better to drop it.

if someone is willing to support the driver i believe the community would 
gladly add it back in, but to be honest, we haven't had any requests for it. as 
we are a small group, we decided to focus our efforts on what we know best and 
the driver that we know people are using. (full disclosure: i use Ceph driver).

cheers,

I haven't implemented Gnocchi yet, but it's on my to do list. We are using 
Influxdb for our collectd data and had planned to use that for Gnocchi as well. 
+1 for putting the driver back in as I didn't know it was gone :(.

Re: [Openstack-operators] [gnocchi] monitoring storage use case inquiry

[Sam Morrison]

Hi Gordon,

We are using the influxDB backend and we have our retention policies set to:

Every minute for an hour
Every 10 minutes for a day
Every hour for a year

Currently we hover around 8,000 instances.

We understand the influxDB driver was taken out of gnocchi, bit annoyed as it 
wasn’t mentioned on the operators list.
We currently have just got it working with version 2.1 of gnocchi and are keen 
to see if it can be added back into gnocchi.

We already use influxDB for other non openstack stuff and so would rather use 
that as opposed to adding yet another system.

Would be interested to know what other operators use gnocchi and what backend 
they use.

Cheers,
Sam

[Openstack-operators] [gnocchi] monitoring storage use case inquiry

[gordon chung]

hi folks,

the Gnocchi dev team is working on pushing out a new serialization 
format to improve disk footprint and while we're at it, we're looking at 
other changes as well. to get a bit more insight to help decide what 
changes we make, one useful metric would be to know what your 
requirements are for storing data. as you may know Gnocchi does not 
store raw datapoints but aggregates data to a specified granularity (eg. 
5s, 30s, 1min, 1 day, etc...). what we're after is what's the longest 
timeseries you're capturing or hoping to capture? a datapoint every 
minute for a day/week/month/year? a datapoint every 10mins for a 
week/month/year? something else?

your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,
