Overview of this book

OpenStack is a widely popular platform for cloud computing. Applications that are built for this platform are resilient to failure and convenient to scale.

Monitoring compute services


The final set of services to monitor are those on the compute node. Here, you can make sure a couple of services are running and add the ping from the section you just finished. Start with the generic service status check for these services:

neutron-openvswitch-agent
openvswitch
neutron-ovs-cleanup
openstack-ceilometer-compute
openstack-nova-compute

Then add a service configuration to Nagios that will run the ping command to check your tunnel connectivity:

define service {
check_command check_nrpe!check_ovs_tunnel
host_name compute
service_description OVS tunnel connectivity
use generic-service
}

As you can see, this is just an NRPE check command that will execute a ping from the compute node to the network node.
