[Openstack] Announcing StackTach ...

2012-02-20 Thread Sandy Walsh 
Hey!

Last week I started on a little debugging tool for OpenStack based on
AMQP events that I've been calling StackTach. It's really handy for
watching the flow of an operation through the various parts of OpenStack.

It consists of two parts:

1. The Worker.

Sits somewhere on your OpenStack network. It listens to AMQP "monitor.*"
notifications and sends them to the StackTach server.

(I need this branch to land for it to work ... hint hint)
https://review.openstack.org/#change,4194

2. The Web Interface

Collects events via REST calls (poorman multi-tenant) and presents these
events in a funky little web interface.

You can play around with the UI here:
http://darksecretsoftware.com/stacktach/1/
(this is with data coming from my personal OpenStack Dev env)

"What do I do?"

Click on anything and you'll see the particulars in the Details window.
Click on [+] to see the JSON for the event.
"Hosts" shows the last 20 events that have a Host defined.
"Instances" shows the last 20 events that have the Instance field
populated.
Hosts and Instances windows are resize-able.
You may see duplication between both windows.
Click on Time to see any events around that time (+/- 1 minute I think)

"Where is the code?"

The code is hosted below. There's LOTS of work to do to make it ready
for prime-time ... but please, contribute.

https://github.com/rackspace/stacktach

"How do I install it?"

I need to make this process cleaner. Right know you need to know how to
create a Django Project and stick StackTach in there.

Look forward to the feedback.

Cheers,
Sandy

Nice one, Sandy! I was planning creating a tool exactly like this -- thanks so 
much! Can't wait to try it out...

Sandy, this is great work!  I think it would be worth integrating this into a 
view in Horizon for Folsom timeframe.

very cool.  If there is any interest in extending the tool and making it
pluggable to work with other wire protocols i'd think the
openmamaproject would be an interesting
possibility.

nice work!

Great job Sandy,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are using the events generated and
described in the SystemUsage blueprint (
http://wiki.openstack.org/SystemUsageData).

We are going to send a new blueprint (or I should say a part II of the
existing blueprint) to extend the current implementation of System Usage
notifications to cover more resources of Nova (volumes, floating ips, fixed
networks, tenants, images...). Sounds to me like a good fit.

We would like to contribute in Folsom developing these enhancements, and I
think your stackstach tool will help a lot.

Regards
Diego

2012-02-21 Thread Sandy Walsh 
Thanks y'all ... I'll chat with "The Powers" to see where that fits. But
I agree it's a good idea.

One nice thing about StackTach though, is that it doesn't have to run
inside the firewall or have direct db access. The server is multi-tenant
and can host multiple openstack deployments. Would this ability be lost
with Horizon integration?
