Using monasca CLI

Using monasca CLI

The monasca shell utility interacts with OpenStack Monitoring API from the command-line. It supports the entire features of OpenStack Monitoring API.

Basic Usage

In order to use the CLI, you must provide your OpenStack username, password, project, domain information for both user and project, and auth endpoint. Use the corresponding configuration options (--os-username, --os-password, --os-project-name, --os-user-domain-id, os-project-domain-id, and --os-auth-url), but it is easier to set them in environment variables.

export OS_USERNAME=mini-mon
export OS_PASSWORD=password
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=mini-mon
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_ID=default
export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_ID=default
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://keystone:5000/v3

If you are using Identity v2.0 API (DEPRECATED), you don’t need to pass domain information.

export OS_USERNAME=mini-mon
export OS_PASSWORD=password
export OS_TENANT_NAME=mini-mon
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://keystone:5000/v2.0

Once you’ve configured your authentication parameters, you can run monasca commands. All commands take the form of:

monasca <command> [arguments...]

Run monasca help to get a full list of all possible commands, and run monasca help <command> to get detailed help for that command.

Using with os-client-config

os-client-config provides more convenient way to manage a collection of client configurations and you can easily switch multiple OpenStack-based configurations.

To use os-client-config, you first need to prepare ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml like the following.

clouds:
  monitoring:
    auth:
      auth_url: http://keystone:5000
      password: password
      project_domain_id: default
      project_name: mini-mon
      user_domain_id: default
      username: mini-mon
    identity_api_version: '3'
    region_name: RegionOne

Then, you need to specify a configuration name defined in the above clouds.yaml.

export OS_CLOUD=monitoring

For more detail information, see the os-client-config documentation.

Using with keystone token

The command-line tool will attempt to re-authenticate using your provided credentials for every request. You can override this behavior by manually supplying an auth token using --os-url and --os-auth-token. You can alternatively set these environment variables.

export OS_URL=http://monasca.example.org:8070/
export OS_TOKEN=3bcc3d3a03f44e3d8377f9247b0ad155
