Configuring Keystone API v3 monitor type

Enter a unique environment name for monitoring the OpenStack policy. A container is created with the environment name. This environment holds all the OpenStack instances. BMC recommends you to provide only alphanumeric characters in the environment name.

Enter the OpenStack identity endpoint. To get the identity endpoint, perform any of the following actions:

• On the OpenStack Server computer, run the following command - openstack endpoint list | grep keystone | grep public.
• On the OpenStack Server dashboard, click API Access and copy the identity endpoint.

Enter the OpenStack domain name for monitoring.

The default domain name is default.

Scope Project

Enter the OpenStack scope project name for the valid token.

The default project name is admin.

Enter the OpenStack project names for monitoring.

If this field is blank, all OpenStack projects are monitored to which you have access. Default value is * that monitors all projects.

Enter the user name used to connect to the OpenStack server.

To monitor parameters in the following classes related to admin entities, ensure that the user name that you enter has Admin role assigned in OpenStack:

• Hypervisors (OPENSTACK_HYPERVISORS)  
• Block Storage Services (OPENSTACK_BLOCKSTORAGE_SERVICES)
• Compute Services (OPENSTACK_COMPUTE_SERVICES)
• Network Agents Services (OPENSTACK_NETWORKAGENT_SERVICES)

To monitor admin entities, you can also assign the following permissions to a user with any non-admin role:

• Nova
  • os_compute_api:os-hypervisors
  • os_compute_api:os-services
• Keystone
  • identity:list_projects
  • identity:get_project

Specify the path to the local Java home directory.

By default, BMC PATROL for OpenStack uses the JAVA Runtime Environment (JRE) that is installed with the PATROL Agent.

To use your own JRE that is installed in a different location, enter the path for the JAVA home directory. The JRE must be v1.8 or above. For example, if your JAVA executable exists in the /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_20/jre/bin/java path, enter /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_20/jre as the value of this field.

Note: If Java home is not specified, by default, the Java home for the PATROL Agent is used.

Enter the optional Java Virtual Machine (JVM) arguments for the Java collector.

Select the metric collection level for the OpenStack instance.

• Availability – Only collects data for the available OpenStack metrics
• Full data monitoring – Collects data for all of the OpenStack metrics
• Custom data monitoring – You select the OpenStack metrics for data collection

For the Custom data monitoring collection level, select the relevant metrics in the Admin Metrics and Project Metrics fields.

In the Filters configuration by monitor types list section, click Add.

Enter the OpenStack projects that you want to monitor.

In the Filters by monitor types list section, click Add.
