Monitor OpenStack Service Logs Here is a quick and dirty way to watch the necessary logs on the controller or compute nodes.
Ubuntu
Controller logs:
tail -f /var/log/{ceilometer,cinder,glance,keystone,mysql,neutron,nova,openvswitch,rabbitmq}/*.log /var/log/syslog
Compute logs:
tail -f /var/log/{ceilometer,neutron,nova,openvswitch}/*.log /var/log/syslog
CentOS/RHEL
Controller logs:
tail -f /var/log/{ceilometer,cinder,glance,keystone,mysql,neutron,nova,openvswitch,rabbitmq}/*.log /var/log/messages
Compute logs:
tail -f /var/log/{ceilometer,neutron,nova,openvswitch}/*.log /var/log/messages
Keystone See Status of Keystone Services
keystone service-list
List All Keystone Endpoints
keystone endpoint-list
Glance List Current Glance Images
glance image-list
Upload Images to Glance
glance image-create –name –is-public –container-format –disk-format –copy-from
Example 1, upload the cirros-0.3.2-x86_64 cloud image:
glance image-create –name cirros-0.3.2-x86_64 –is-public true –container-format bare –disk-format qcow2 –copy-from http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.2/cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-disk.img
Example 2, upload the ubuntu-server-12.04 cloud image:
glance image-create –name ubuntu-server-12.04 –is-public true –container-format bare –disk-format qcow2 –copy-from http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
Example 3, upload the centos-6.5 cloud image:
glance image-create –name centos-6.5-x86_64 –is-public true –container-format bare –disk-format qcow2 –copy-from http://public.thornelabs.net/centos-6.5-20140117.0.x86_64.qcow2
Nova See Status of Nova Services
nova service-list
List Current Nova Instances
nova list
Boot an Instance
Boot an instance assigned to a particular Neutron Network:
nova boot –image –flavor –security-groups –key-name –nic net-id= –availability-zone
Boot an instance assigned to a particular Neutron Port:
nova boot –image –flavor –security-groups –key-name –nic port-id= –availability-zone
Create a Flavor
nova flavor-create
For example, create a new flavor called m1.custom with an ID of 6, 512 MB of RAM, 5 GB of root disk space, and 1 vCPU:
nova flavor-create m1.custom 6 512 5 1
Create Nova Security Group
This command is only used if you are using nova-network.
nova secgroup-create
Add Rules to Nova Security Group
These command is only used if you are using nova-network.
nova secgroup-add-rule
Example 1, add a rule to the default Nova Security Group to allow SSH access to instances:
nova secgroup-add-rule default tcp 22 22 0.0.0.0/0
Example 2, to add a rule to the default Nova Security Group Rule to allow ICMP communication to instances:
nova secgroup-add-rule default icmp -1 -1 0.0.0.0/0
Apply Nova Security Group to Instance
This command is only used if you are using nova-network.
nova add-secgroup
Create Nova Key SSH Pair
nova keypair-add –pub_key
Create Nova Floating IP Pool
nova-manage floating create
Create Host Aggregate With Availability Zone
nova aggregate-create
Add Compute Host to Host Aggregate
nova aggregate-add-host
Live Migrate an Instance
If your compute hosts use shared storage:
nova live-migration
If your compute hosts do not use shared storage:
nova live-migration –block-migrate
Attach Cinder Volume to Instance
Before running this command, you will need to have already created a Cinder Volume.
nova volume-attach
Create and Boot an Instance from a Cinder Volume
Before running this command, you will need to have already created a Cinder Volume from a Glance Image.
nova boot –flavor –block_device_mapping vda=:::0
Create and Boot an Instance from a Cinder Volume Snapshot
Before running this command, you will have to have already created a Cinder Volume Snapshot:
nova boot –flavor –block_device_mapping vda=:snap::0
Reset the State of an Instance
If an instance gets stuck in a delete state, the instance state can be reset then deleted:
nova reset-state
nova delete
You can also use the active command line switch to force an instance back into an active state:
nova reset-state –active
Get Direct URL to Instance Console Using novnc
nova get-vnc-console novnc
Get Direct URL to Instance Console Using xvpvnc
nova get-vnc-console xvpvnc
Cinder See Status of Cinder Services
cinder service-list
List Current Cinder Volumes
cinder list
Create Cinder Volume
cinder create –display-name
Create Cinder Volume from Glance Image
cinder create –image-id –display-name
Create Snapshot of Cinder Volume
cinder snapshot-create –display-name
If the Cinder Volume is not available, i.e. it is currently attached to an instance, you must pass the force flag:
cinder snapshot-create –display-name –force True
