Running the playbook on your own

You will require:

Troubleshooting

Check if all services are running fine

systemctl list-units | grep devstack OR systemctl list-units | grep failed

All services should be in 'running' state, if not restart them

LOGS: journalctl -u [email protected]

In case services reporting AMQP errors

CHECK: sudo rabbitmqctl list_users

if there is NO stackrabbit user then:

sudo rabbitmqctl add_user stackrabbit secretrabbit
sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions stackrabbit '.*' '.*' '.*'
sudo rabbitmqctl list_vhosts
sudo rabbitmqctl add_vhost nova_cell1
sudo rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p nova_cell1 stackrabbit '.*' '.*' '.*'
sudo systemctl restart devstack@*

Monasca Services not running

CHECK: ~/monasca-autoscaling/scripts/list_services.sh

~/monasca-autoscaling/scripts/stop_services.sh ~/monasca-autoscaling/scripts/start_services.sh

Check server can be launched

CHECK: openstack server create --debug --image cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-disk --network private --flavor m1.nano --security-group testvm --wait vm1

FAILURE: "message": "Host 'YOUR-HOSTNAME' is not mapped to any cell", "code": 400

sudo systemctl restart devstack@*
~/monasca-autoscaling/scripts/stop_services.sh
~/monasca-autoscaling/scripts/start_services.sh

Network connectivity issues within the host:

CHECK: openstack network agent list

All agents should be up, if not:

systemctl restart [email protected] 
systemctl restart [email protected] 

CHECK: ip netns list

there should be two qdhcp namespaces, if you have atleast one instnace
