Install and configure for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS¶

This section describes how to install and configure the Infrastructure Optimization service for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and CentOS 7.

Prerequisites¶

Before you install and configure the Infrastructure Optimization service, you must create a database, service credentials, and API endpoints.

Create the database, complete these steps:
- Use the database access client to connect to the database server as the root user:
```
# mysql
```
- Create the watcher database:
```
CREATE DATABASE watcher CHARACTER SET utf8;
```
- Grant proper access to the watcher database:
```
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON watcher.* TO 'watcher'@'localhost' \
  IDENTIFIED BY 'WATCHER_DBPASS';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON watcher.* TO 'watcher'@'%' \
  IDENTIFIED BY 'WATCHER_DBPASS';
```
  Replace WATCHER_DBPASS with a suitable password.
- Exit the database access client.
```
exit;
```
Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:
```
$ . admin-openrc
```

To create the service credentials, complete these steps:

Create the watcher user:

$ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt watcher
  User Password:
  Repeat User Password:
  +---------------------+----------------------------------+
  | Field               | Value                            |
  +---------------------+----------------------------------+
  | domain_id           | default                          |
  | enabled             | True                             |
  | id                  | b18ee38e06034b748141beda8fc8bfad |
  | name                | watcher                          |
  | options             | {}                               |
  | password_expires_at | None                             |
  +---------------------+----------------------------------+

Add the admin role to the watcher user:
```
$ openstack role add --project service --user watcher admin
```
Note

This command produces no output.

Create the watcher service entities:

$ openstack service create --name watcher --description "Infrastructure Optimization" infra-optim
  +-------------+----------------------------------+
  | Field       | Value                            |
  +-------------+----------------------------------+
  | description | Infrastructure Optimization      |
  | enabled     | True                             |
  | id          | d854f6fff0a64f77bda8003c8dedfada |
  | name        | watcher                          |
  | type        | infra-optim                      |
  +-------------+----------------------------------+

Create the Infrastructure Optimization service API endpoints:

$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
  infra-optim public http://controller:9322
  +-------------+----------------------------------+
  | Field       | Value                            |

  | name        | watcher                          |
  | type        | infra-optim                      |
  +-------------+----------------------------------+

$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
  infra-optim internal http://controller:9322

  | Field        | Value                            |

  +--------------+----------------------------------+

Install and configure components¶

Install the packages:

# sudo yum install openstack-watcher-api openstack-watcher-applier \
  openstack-watcher-decision-engine

Edit the /etc/watcher/watcher.conf file and complete the following actions:
- In the [database] section, configure database access:
```
[database]
...
connection = mysql+pymysql://watcher:WATCHER_DBPASS@controller/watcher?charset=utf8
```
- In the [DEFAULT] section, configure the transport url for RabbitMQ message broker.
```
[DEFAULT]
...
control_exchange = watcher
transport_url = rabbit://openstack:RABBIT_PASS@controller
```
  Replace the RABBIT_PASS with the password you chose for OpenStack user in RabbitMQ.
- In the [keystone_authtoken] section, configure Identity service access.
```
[keystone_authtoken]
...
www_authenticate_uri = http://controller:5000
auth_url = http://controller:5000
memcached_servers = controller:11211
auth_type = password
project_domain_name = default
user_domain_name = default
project_name = service
username = watcher
password = WATCHER_PASS
```
  Replace WATCHER_PASS with the password you chose for the watcher user in the Identity service.
- Watcher interacts with other OpenStack projects via project clients, in order to instantiate these clients, Watcher requests new session from Identity service. In the [watcher_clients_auth] section, configure the identity service access to interact with other OpenStack project clients.
```
[watcher_clients_auth]
...
auth_type = password
auth_url = http://controller:5000
username = watcher
password = WATCHER_PASS
project_domain_name = default
user_domain_name = default
project_name = service
```
  Replace WATCHER_PASS with the password you chose for the watcher user in the Identity service.
- In the [api] section, configure host option.
```
[api]
...
host = controller
```
  Replace controller with the IP address of the management network interface on your controller node, typically 10.0.0.11 for the first node in the example architecture.
- In the [oslo_messaging_notifications] section, configure the messaging driver.
```
[oslo_messaging_notifications]
...
driver = messagingv2
```

Populate watcher database:

su -s /bin/sh -c "watcher-db-manage --config-file /etc/watcher/watcher.conf upgrade"

Finalize installation¶

Start the Infrastructure Optimization services and configure them to start when the system boots:

# systemctl enable openstack-watcher-api.service \
  openstack-watcher-decision-engine.service \
  openstack-watcher-applier.service

# systemctl start openstack-watcher-api.service \
  openstack-watcher-decision-engine.service \
