Re: [controller-dev] Core Projects Meeting Agenda Topics

As an aside, Colin will be leading the call today.  I currently have
flooring contractors replacing flooring, which is causing too much noise to
play a useful role today.  I will still join the call but will have limited
audio access;  sorry for any inconveniences.

Regards,

Ryan

Re: [controller-dev] Health Checks to external network functions

2016-09-20 Thread Brady Allen Johnson 


The SFC project has functionality that can "indirectly" monitor network 
functions (called Service Functions in SFC). I say indirectly since the 
monitoring is used for what we call Service Function (SF) scheduling 
algorithms, which helps us choose which SF to use based on either CPU 
load, or shortest path.


When we integrated ODL SFC into OPNFV, we didnt use the SF scheduling 
algorithms but instead delegated that to a VNF manager. Typically, the 
VNF manager would also monitor the network functions.


In Beryllium, the Armoury project was created to monitor the network 
load of a network function which could then report overloading 
situations to a VNF manager. The Armoury project didnt get much 
traction, and is effectively on hold for now.


The question needs to be asked if it really makes sense for ODL to 
monitor SFs/Network Functions or if something like a VNF manager should 
do it instead.


Regards,

Brady

Hi,

Is there any project/plugin in ODL that its purpose is to conduct 
health checks ?


I’m referring to the health of external machines that run network 
functions for example (firewalls, load balancers, content filtering, 
etc.).


Health checks can be pings, load, generic scripts etc.

In a real deployment, will you do those inside ODL? or use an external 
health tool that will notify status change to the ODL?


Thanks,

Guy Sela
