ceilometer-alarm-notifier and ceilometer-alarm-evaluator packages with lot of dependecies

What Ubuntu release are you running? The dependencies for the 2014.1~b1 package are fulfilled only with the trusty release of Ubuntu.

If you are running an older Ubuntu release, you might have better chances with a PPA. e.g. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cloud-archive/+archive/icehouse-staging

Hi Manfred,
I am running with below version
root@controller:/home/oss# cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l

root@controller:/home/oss# getconf LONG_BIT
64
root@controller:/home/oss#

I have installed Havana on my 3 node configuration

As far as I can see the package in that PPA has been based on the packages that you tried to installed, and been modified for precise-icehouse. I do not have any knowledge whether that now will work on your precise-havana system.

Hi manfred dome more details:

I have installed Ceilometer on Ubuntu12.04 on Havana setup.

My Question is whenever my CPU load > 30 , I am not getting any alarm. Below is the details

1. I tried with ‘log://”
ceilometer alarm-threshold-create --name cpuutlization --project-id 536518d5b38d4f3e9dcab26403d4d6e8 --user-id admin --description Threshholdvalue --state alarm --enabled True --alarm-action 'log://' --meter-name cpu --period 60 --evaluation-periods 1 --statistic avg --comparison-operator 'gt' --threshold 30

alarm got created but when I load got increased , I couldnot see any log under /var/log/ceilometer . I have only below log files.

root@controller:/var/log/ceilometer# ls
ceilometer-agent-central.log ceilometer-api.log ceilometer-collector.log
root@controller:/var/log/ceilometer#

2. ceilometer alarm-threshold-create --name cpuutlization --project-id 536518d5b38d4f3e9dcab26403d4d6e8 --user-id admin --description Threshholdvalue --state alarm --enabled True --alarm-action 'http://x.x.x.x:5000/v2.0' --meter-name cpu --period 60 --evaluation-periods 1 --statistic avg --comparison-operator 'gt' --threshold 30
or
1. ceilometer alarm-threshold-create --name cpuutlization --project-id 536518d5b38d4f3e9dcab26403d4d6e8 --user-id admin --description Threshholdvalue --state alarm --enabled True --alarm-action 'http://x.x.x.x:5000' --meter-name cpu --period 60 --evaluation-periods 1 --statistic avg --comparison-operator 'gt' --threshold 30

I tried with both,

I couldn’t see anything on 'http://x.x.x.x:5000’ . how I will come to know alarm triggered…?

Waiting for your further assistance..

I would not expect that you get reasonable answers on these questions on Ubuntu launchpad answers.
Most probably you better contact the ceilometer developers, maybe https://ask.openstack.org/en/questions/scope:all/sort:activity-desc/tags:ceilometer/ can serve as a starting point.

Hi Malleshi,

I noticed the same thing and created a bug about this some time ago, it seems the package does not create the upstart services as it should, typically Openstack would say this is the problem of the packager owner in this case ubuntu.

You have to create the upstart services manually.

this might not be the proper way to do it, but it works

go to

/etc/init

create the missing conf files so

vim ceilometer-alarm-evaluator.conf

copy and past the below between the "========"

==================================================
description "ceilometer-alarm-evaluator"
author "Bruce Martins"

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlelvel [!2345]

chdir /var/run

pre-start script
        mkdir -p /var/run/ceilometer
        chown ceilometer:ceilometer /var/run/ceilometer

        mkdir -p /var/lock/ceilometer
        chown ceilometer:ceilometer /var/lock/ceilometer
end script

exec start-stop-daemon --start --chuid ceilometer --exec /usr/bin/ceilometer-alarm-evaluator

==============================================================================

save and then create the second file

vim ceilometer-alarm-notifier.conf

copy and past the below between the "========"

===============================================================================
description "ceilometer-alarm-evaluator"
author "Bruce Martins <email address hidden>"

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlelvel [!2345]

chdir /var/run

pre-start script
        mkdir -p /var/run/ceilometer
        chown ceilometer:ceilometer /var/run/ceilometer

        mkdir -p /var/lock/ceilometer
        chown ceilometer:ceilometer /var/lock/ceilometer
end script

exec start-stop-daemon --start --chuid ceilometer --exec /usr/bin/ceilometer-alarm-notifier

============================================================================

save and exit

change the the init.d directiory

# cd /etc/init.d

create the symbolic links
# ln -s /lib/init/upstart-job ceilometer-alarm-notifier
# ln -s /lib/init/upstart-job ceilometer-alarm-evaluator

then start the services
# service ceilometer-alarm-notifier start
# service ceilometer-alarm-evaluator start

Hello bruce,

Do I need to change any configurations ..? where this alarm notifications are getting logged ?

Regards,
Malleshi C N

do you have your logging set to debug ?
