RE: How to reduce the size of the cloud_usage database

2015-01-12 Thread David Williams
Hi Rohit,

Our cloud_usage database dumps are getting large and take quite a while. The 
cloud_usage database is around 25 GB with more than 86 million rows.

I don't know if there are currently performance issues affecting the 
application.

Having a global configuration option which causes the application to delete 
usage related records that are older than a specifed value would be great. An 
API would be great too.

Thanks,

Dave

  Hi David,

  There is no official way to reduce the size of the cloud_usage database
  as it gets populated from the cloud database.

  Can you share why you want to reduce it? Are you're facing any MySQL
  performance issues?

  If your DB size is causing problems we could work with you to develop a
  new (global) configuration option to limit size or an API to limit
  past/historic data.

Global setting resourcecount.check.interval default of 0

2015-01-09 Thread David Williams
Hi all,

We have noticed that the global setting resourcecount.check.interval has a 
default of 0 which according to the description, means never run:
  | category |   name   |   value   
 |  
  description
  | Advanced |   resourcecount.check.interval   | 0 
 |  Time (in 
seconds) to wait before retrying resource count check task. Default is 0 which 
is to never run the task

Does anyone know why this global setting is needed? I mean, why does cloudstack 
not keep the counts up to date and correct anyway.

Does anyone know why the default value is 0 (never run)?

Can the default be set to something like 3600 instead of 0 in future releases?

Thanks,

Dave

Feature requests and a feature request: userid field in the vm_instance table

2014-11-13 Thread David Williams
Hi all,

Is this mailing list the right place to raise feature requests? If so, I have a 
small one.

I think it would be handy if the userid of the user that created a VM was 
recorded in the database in the vm_instance table. Currently, the only way I 
know of to find the user that deployed a VM is by checking the logs. There's an 
owner field in the vm_instance table but this seems to be the account ID of the 
account the user belongs to.

By being able to find the user that deployed a VM, it makes VM cleanups much 
easier since you know who to contact for each VM. A similar thing in the other 
tables for the other resources would be useful too when trying to cleanup 
networks and volumes, etc. Also, if this change went ahead, then the API and 
GUI could be changed also to show the user details for the VM when listing the 
VM's details.

Thanks,

Dave

Subject: cloudmonkey ASCII Characters

Hi CloudstackUsers,

I'm trying to do a bash script using some of the output coming out from
cloudmonkey 5.2 which is coming with a bunch of control characters, does
anybody knows if we can set the display to ascii ?? (I've tried ascii
doesnt work) or something like that so I can use normal bash to extract
data coming from cloudmonkey ?


Cheers
