RE: Packer and Cloudstack

[Andrija Panic]

We have internal repo for this - builds for centos 6,7 ubuntu 14,16,18 and can 
be easily tuned to support different SCSI and NIC controllers for other 
hypervisors (atm build targets building vmware templates).
Were thinking making this public at some point in time...

Re: Network metrics

[Rakesh v]

This include stats from virtual router as well since libvirt exporter use virsh 
libraries to fetch details. For libvirt, virual router is just another VM and 
so it will exporter those stats also.

Run virsh list and you will see virual router entry and using dommemstats or 
other commands you can see other detaila

Good point, but this won't cover metrics that are integral to the virtual 
router.
The hypervisor doesn't know about what a VM's network stack does.

Re: Shutdown VM

Disable the HA for the vm by changing filed in vm_instance table and
shutdown the vm. The cloudstack wont restart it. That worked for me

Re: Network metrics

[Rakesh Venkatesh]

Hello Gregor


You can use "libvirt exporter" to export all stats like cpu utilization,
memory consumption, disk read/write, network read/write and export it to
prometheus. From prometheus you can use grafana or other monitoring tools
to see all stats. We use exporter merger third party tool to merge all the
data from all the hypervisors and show it on dashboard. This way if any of
your vm is having issues, you can quickly look at graphs and troubleshoot
it.

It looks like the Prometheus exporter is limited to per-zone statistics, though?
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+Metrics+Exporter+for+Prometheus

But yes, we're probably better off with collecting the metrics directly from 
the hypervisor.

Previously, we installed a bunch of monitoring services inside the VRs, but I'd 
like to build a cleaner solution that doesn't require messing with the system 
VMs, if possible.

Since I'm also interested in other metrics besides the very basic ones (such as 
NAT table size, per-network stats in a VPC, etc.), I think it would be best if 
the VR template offered integrated monitoring capabilities.
Should I open a feature request for that?

Re: Network metrics

[Nux!]

Hi,

How I got stats for all VMs, including system ones, was to install Prometheus, 
both the cloudstack and the libvirt exporter.
I know it's "outside" Cloudstack, but may prove useful.

Re: FreeNAS Secondary Storage anyone?

[Nux!]

Ok, found the problem and bug:

- it seems with NFS v4 everyone and their fuckin dog can mount a share, even 
with an address not in the exports ACL (input/output errors on everything then 
on)

- Cloudstack (Adv+SG) uses the guest network instead of the management network 
to mount the share (most likely a bug) - can't allow the guest network to mount 
nfs, any user VM could mount it and read/write everything.

Will open a bug report.

Thanks, but that isn't quite what I'm looking for.
I'm particularly interested in internet traffic that goes through the router.

If I just add up the network bandwidth of the individual machines, that won't 
tell me anything about the incoming/outgoing traffic.

There should be a way to do this, as cloud-usage also records total network 
usage on the virtual router.

Gregor

RE: Shutdown VM

No. CloudStack is not aware that you did shutdown VM from inside OS - 
CloudStack will consider a VM crashed, and will start it again.

Hi Peter,

Just to clarify - you unable to create tags as root admin and domain admins

That seems expected and there are some open issues around that too -

Re: Network metrics

[Boris Stoyanov]

Hi Gregor,

I don’t think you could directly query for a VR, but you could specify a 
network ID and it’ll list you all the metrics of VMs on that network. Then I 
suppose you could work out a summary from that list.
https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.12/apis/listVirtualMachinesMetrics.html

by
networkid   list by network id

Regards,
Bobby.

Does the CloudStack API offer a way to obtain per-network metrics?

AW: Resource type for an ACL? (API)

[peter.muryshkin]

Hi, Anurag,

thank you for your quick response - as I've found out, I am actually NOT able 
to create a tag.

Error message:
"The user is not allowed to request the API command or the API command does not 
exist"

But, I tried it as a root user of an account - is tagging then allowed for the 
global root admin only?

Call:
result = self.cs.create_tags(resourceids=self.firewallruleid, 
resourcetype='FirewallRule', tags = {'foo':'bar'})

kind regards
Peter

Hi Peter,

Welcome to the community!

I think you may be looking at "create tags resourcetype=networkacl  " call.

Hi, all,

while I can create a tag for a firewall rule, I can't find the resource name 
for network ACL item.

Is it anyhow possible to set a tag there?


P.S. This is my first time I post to this mailing list, so hello everybody - 
Apache CloudStack is really great and from the first impression the community 
seems to be very enjoyable!

RE: pci passthrough

[Andrija Panic]

Hi Piotr,

Have a look at a video from last London User Group that explains (beside other 
new things) passing extra configuration flags for KVM VM, which might give you 
an idea how you can achieve PCI passthrough: 
https://www.shapeblue.com/cloudstack-european-user-group-cseug-roundup-london-march-2019/
 - video from Bobby Stoyanov.

Basically, and admin needs to approve what kind of additional XML stuff can be 
sent (for security reasons), then user can consume that (i.e. pass additional 
URL encoded XML chunk).

Best,
Andrija

Subject: pci passthrough

Hello,

Is there a way to do pci passthrough to vm (eg. via VFIO/IOMMU)?

On this article:
https://www.shapeblue.com/openvswitch-with-dpdk-support-on-cloudstack/

There is talk of additional options sent to vm, can we use this to pci 
passthrough?

Piotr

I think you meant: You should NOT be using a compute offering with HA enabled, 
right?
