support for Aodh and Gnocchi alarms

[ioggstream]

reproduce

1. deploy on rhosp10 with autoscaling: true
2. issue openstack alarm list

I expect

Alarm status to be in [ "ok", "alarm" ]

instead

Alarm status is "insufficient data"

my resolution

• replace metadata on ServerGroup with the following.

          metadata: {"metering.server_group": {get_param: "OS::stack_id"}}

• create Gnocchi + Aodh alarms like this

  cpu_alarm_high:
    type: OS::Aodh::GnocchiAggregationByResourcesAlarm
    properties:
      aggregation_method: mean
      metric: cpu_util
      comparison_operator: gt
      threshold: 50
      granularity: 600
      evaluation_periods: 1
      resource_type: instance
      enabled: {get_param: autoscaling}
      alarm_actions:
        - {get_attr: [scale_up_policy, alarm_url]}
      query:
        str_replace:
          template: '{"=": {"server_group": "stack_id"}}'
          params:
            stack_id: {get_param: "OS::stack_id"}

Feedback welcome!

Peace,

Hi,
For me, it's not good. No autoscalabity and I have always Alarm status is "insufficient data". Trace of aodh-evaluator.log. Always 0 statistics returned.

There's an issue on RHOSP10 alarms.

Essentially they don't work out out of the box. You have to fix openstack before:

• set default collection interval to 300 seconds
• verify that every metric has 5 minute granularity
