stacktach's Issues

Issue in executing commond python manage.py runserver

Hello,
I have sucessfully build the cloud on ubuntu 12.04 using devstack,
and trying for performance monitoring and i found stacktach is the best for it.
so far i executed till $python manage.py runserver and ./worker/start_workers.py
sucessfully with the help of sandy walsh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZgwDHZ3wm0
but after start_workers.py and clicking ALL, i am getting nothing on screen
Please help

Alternate table colors

Currently the table rows are all the same color, it would be great if they alternated color so that you could keep track of a single row much more easily as you scanned from left to right.

This could normally be done quite easily with jquery-ui with a snippet like the following (of course adjusting the colors as necessary):

$(document).ready(function()
{
  //for table row
  $("tr:even").css("background-color", "#FFFFFF");
  $("tr:odd").css("background-color", "#000000");

});

This does work for the table of latest events which is AJAX loaded from the /latest_raw URL, but for the table that is returned based on your search query, there is an extra row inserted in to allow for the details expansion, and this breaks the simple alternation. For this table, you would need to grab the row index of that table and do some math to alternate the colors based on groups of two rows.

Handling the two tables separately would normally be trivial, but the HTML does not have id attributes to differentiate between the two tables within the javascript easily.

An alternative way, and arguably a better way, would be to have the returned HTML place classes onto the tr elements and then apply the alternating colors via CSS.

Issue creating report with pretty.py

Trying to create reports with pretty.py and receiving the following error:
$ python reports/pretty.py --utcdate 2013-05-07
Traceback (most recent call last):

I know that I have data for today in stacktach:

Expanding a search result re-scrools the page

When clicking the + to expand a result in the search table, it jumps your view back up to the top of the page. This could likely be solved with the following method:

1. Have the secondary rows in the table (the ones that receive the ajax loaded details) hidden at initial page load
2. When clicking the + sign to expand the details, fire off the AJAX load into the hidden tr/td
3. On completion of the .load AJAX call, have a callback run which shows the hidden row (bonus points for using jQuery's .slideDown() functionality)

will stacktach work with OpenStack Kilo and Liberty?

I am trying to use stacktach (v2) with OpenStack Kilo but cannot get notifications through.

The installation instruction has the following note: "Note: This will likely change once the various project switch to oslo.messaging which uses endpoints to define the notification drivers." and indeed the messages on the OpenStack side all have oslo.message payloads with endpoints information inside.
Do we need a different way to configure the workers?

In addition, how to change the worker's logging to DEBUG?

Error in RabbitMQ

After configuring the system I get an error in Rabbit MQ logs.

=ERROR REPORT==== 1-Nov-2012::18:39:11 ===
connection <0.10023.48>, channel 1 - error:
{amqp_error,precondition_failed,
"cannot redeclare exchange 'nova' in vhost '/' with different type, durable, internal or autodelete value",
'exchange.declare'}

I followed a site that said stop Rabbitmq and do a reset then start but no joy.

Also worth mentioning that Rabbit is using the default creds of guest/guest

Any help appreciated, looks like a great tool with loads of potential.

No data in DB

I have created the DB with the syncdb command and I get

You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superusers defined.
Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): no
Installing custom SQL ...
Installing indexes ...
No fixtures found.

is the No fixtures found correct? Your demo on the video shows it as 0 fixtures and 0 something else.

The reason I as is after running the server and the worker I am getting no data, I do get the portal and I see the name that I specified in my json file but looking atthe DB there is no data. I have made sure the notifiers are running and I also verified that the stacktach was connecting to rabbitmq

Thoughts - Feels like I am almost there :)

Add configuration option for enabling/disabling durable queues.

Add configuration option for enabling/disabling durable queues.

One of our installs is not configured for durable queues, so the worker "silently" failed (It logged an error, but not on screen)

security issue storing token on the stacktach database

storing token in the mysql database is not only security issue but also increases the table size.
The table size is not a concern for uuid but using PKI is a big deal.

we fixed it be removing token from json payload.
stacktach/notification.py
import json as js
34 jsdata = js.loads(json)
35 tmp = jsdata[1]['_context_auth_token']
36 jsdata[1]['_context_auth_token'] = "*********"
37 self.json = js.dumps(jsdata)

where is the best to install StackTach

Hi,
I am just new with Stacktach and I like to install it. Short question, where is the best to install it: in the Controller node ? or should it be also possible in a separate VM?
Best Regards,

Configure notification on controller or nova host?

My stacktach VM does not receive any events and I'm wondering if I configured the notification in nova.conf not correctly. I'm using a 3 node icehouse (controller, nova, cinder)

1. Do I have to configure nova.conf on the controller or nova host? Or both?
2. The nova.conf on the controller has the driver "notification_driver=messaging". Do I have to overwrite it with "notification_driver=nova.openstack.common.notifier.rpc_notifier"?
3. The nova.conf on the nova compute host has two drivers: notification_driver=nova.openstack.common.notifier.rpc_notifier,ceilometer.compute.nova_notifier
   Is this okay?

Any hint would be very helpful.

Thx, Stef

Hey guys,

Any interest in cinder notification support? We(HP) are interested in implementing it, if that's ok?

Needs support for Grizzly-1 HA rabbit queues

The current impplementation assumes a single rabbit host, and fails if using the rabbit ha queues introduced in the grizzly code.

this means passing queue_arguments with a value of 'x-ha-policy': 'all'

solution: ALTER TABLE stacktach_rawdata modify event varchar(100);

KPI tracking should initiate on "api" service nodes, not "api" in hostname ...

seems we trigger the kpi tracking by "api" in the host name. it's a compute.instance.update" event when it should be "api" in the service name.

I don't think our api nodes report API as the service name (for some reason)
and I went with the hostname (a RAX convention)

stacktach should only look at service name and not hostname.

Hyperlinks do not work upper pain

The hyperlinks are only # tags in the top pain for example it is shown as http://127.0.0.1:8000/1/# when I click on an instance ID link.

entering the ID in the search box results in data as expected.

GC error on msg retrieval

Javascript timer potential memory leak

The timer that reloads the latest_raw table every two seconds is triggered with this javascript snippet:

  $(document).oneTime(2000, function() {
    $('#host_activity').load('/24/latest_raw'); 
  });

The issue is that this javascript is included as part of the latest_raw HTML which is queried via ajax. This results in a new timer being created every time the table is loaded, and relying on the GC to deallocate the old timer. Instead a single recurring timer should be used, located outside of the table which is updated. Additionally the jquery timer library is included in the source, apparently just for this one timer setup. The javascript setInterval function is trivial and does not require an external dependency. Migrating to the use of setInterval would remove the potential (albiet unlikely) memory leak, while also removing an un-necessary dependency.

Stacktach installed, consuming messages but web interface shows "no results"

Hi Sandy,

I met you at the OPS meeting in Philly (one of the guys from Maine) and I finally installed Stacktach v2 to see if I could do anything with the 200,000+ messages queued in notifications.info. It seems to be consuming the messages (now down 170,000 before I stopped the worker) and I can see a lot of entries in the stacktach_instanceexists table (so far 41806). They all seem to have a status of "pending".

Anyway, when I look at 127.0.0.1:8000 I get the StackTach page and see the deployment I created but clicking on it just shows

deployment source tenant service host event instance when

"No results"

and in the Commands section I can't get it to show anything no matter what I click on or search for.

I have tried the github and stackforge versions.

Maybe I should just keep the worker going to get all messages but I wanted to check first to see if there is something wrong. I didn't want to consume all of the messages only to find that it wasn't getting all of the information.

Any recommendations on things to check?

Thanks a lot,

Steve

I have installed all the packages listed in pip-requires.txt. I have also done
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server

$ sudo apt-get install mysql-client

I have also created stacktach database in it.

Still it is giving this error.

Here is my stacktach_config.sh

export STACKTACH_DB_NAME="stacktach"
export STACKTACH_DB_HOST="192.168.6.10"
export STACKTACH_DB_USERNAME="root"
export STACKTACH_DB_PASSWORD="preeti"
export STACKTACH_DB_PORT="3306"
export STACKTACH_INSTALL_DIR="/home/stacktach/"
export STACKTACH_DEPLOYMENTS_FILE="/home/stacktach/stacktach_worker_config.json"
export STACKTACH_VERIFIER_CONFIG="/home/stacktach/stacktach_verifier_config.json"

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="settings"

Here is sample_local_settings.py in which i have made changes

---

import os
STACKTACH_DB_ENGINE = 'django.db.backends.mysql'
STACKTACH_DB_NAME = 'stacktach'
STACKTACH_DB_HOST = 'localhost'
STACKTACH_DB_USERNAME = 'stacktach'
STACKTACH_DB_PASSWORD = 'preeti'
STACKTACH_DB_PORT = '3306'
STACKTACH_INSTALL_DIR = os.environ.get('STACKTACH_INSTALL_DIR', '/home/stacktach/')
STACKTACH_DEPLOYMENTS_FILE = os.environ.get('STACKTACH_DEPLOYMENTS_FILE', '/home/stacktach/stacktach_worker_config.json')

I have installed Django 1.4.2
