Hi all, I have just tried federation setup, and I found that it is not what I exactly needed for now in fact these are two separate clouds and syncronisation of user accounts and some other administative resources between two different clouds.
I have small concerns about the fact how much compute hosts can managed by one core server. I want to grow it horisontaly not vertically.
And I want to manage huge mout of nodes as one opennebula cloud. So I need some tool for parallelize monitoring and manage processes from the main daemon.
I need something like zabbix-proxy but for opennebula. Is there some recomendation about it?
I found some options but all of them is not fit as well:
OpenNebula Federation - the most suitable option for this case, but formally it will be serveral different clouds, each with self different resources. There is no way for display all VMs without switching interface. Or use same neworks and datastores in two instances.
I’ll comment only on the monitoring part: for monitoring/alerting, prometheus is trivial to setup and stable in operation.
Is offers a feature of federating prometheus servers https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/federation/,
which can be used for example to aggregate metrics from the servers running in several data centers.
Each data center will have it’s own prometheus server, and the selected metrics is available to the server (or several ones, for HA alerting) that summarizes them, usually using grafana as the graphical web UI. All these components actually work.
Hi @marcindulak,
Thanks for your answer, I read about prometheus - this is quite interesting monitoring system, and I will definitely try it next time. But for now we already have zabbix, that works fine and have no problems with high scale.
My question more about opennebula core daemon, and running operations from it:
eg, collecting data from hosts about machines states and deploy new VMs, running scripts for transfer images, that’s all.
