Installing development sandbox

In a development environment created by devstack, Ceilometer can be tested alongside other OpenStack services.

Configuring devstack

1. Download devstack.

2. Create a local.conf file as input to devstack.

3. The ceilometer services are not enabled by default, so they must be enabled in local.conf but adding the following:

   # Enable the Ceilometer devstack plugin
   enable_plugin ceilometer https://opendev.org/openstack/ceilometer.git
   

   By default, all ceilometer services except for ceilometer-ipmi agent will be enabled

4. Enable Gnocchi storage support by including the following in local.conf:

   CEILOMETER_BACKEND=gnocchi
   

   Optionally, services which extend Ceilometer can be enabled:

   enable_plugin aodh https://opendev.org/openstack/aodh
   

   These plugins should be added before ceilometer.

5. ./stack.sh
