Script(s) for enabling Horizon DaaS monitoring
Horizon DaaS monitoring integration
Fetching data from the Horizon platform, outputs metrics in Influx Line Protocol on stdout
Usage
/opt/horizondaas/venv/bin/python3 /opt/horizondaas/bin/horizondaas --help
Usage: /opt/horizondaas/bin/horizondaas [options]
VMware CIM CLI Horizon tool to be used with Telegraf
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c config.yml, --config config.yml
Requirements
- Pip-package "pywbem, influxdb, PyYAML
Install
Step 1: Update your repositories
sudo apt-get update
# Step 2: Install pip for Python 3
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev
sudo apt install python3-pip
# Step 3: Use pip to install virtualenv
sudo pip3 install virtualenv
# Step 4: Launch your Python 3 virtual environment, here the name of my virtual environment will be venv
virtualenv -p python3 venv
# Step 5: Activate your new Python 3 environment. There are two ways to do this
. venv/bin/activate
# or source venv/bin/activate which does exactly the same thing
# you can make sure you are now working with Python 3
python --version
# this command will show you what is going on: the python executable you are using is now located inside your virtualenv repository which python.
# now we are ready to install some required pip modules
sudo pip install pywbem
sudo pip install PyYAML
sudo pip install influxdb
Example Telegraf configuration
File: inputs_daas-sp01.mgmt.local.conf
[[inputs.exec]]
commands = [
"/opt/horizondaas/venv/bin/python3 /opt/horizondaas/bin/horizondaas -c /opt/horizondaas/etc/daas-sp01.mgmt.local.yaml",
]
timeout = "180s"
data_format = "influx"
Details about what configuration change is possible.
Prefix for metric. Do not change this value
main:
prefix: pamola-horizondaas
Loglevel 30 is recommended. Will only show warnings, error and critical alerts in logfile
Logfile is the location of the logfile. Use one logfile for each host
log:
loglevel: 30
logfile: /var/log/horizondaas/daas-sp01.mgmt.local.log
Straight forward. Used a real host as example
host:
url: https://daas-sp01.mgmt.local
username: username
password: password.
insecure_skip_verify: true
