Suggestion: IP address via DHCP and still shown in Sunstone

Suggestion: Modify the VM monitoring part of the code so that it queries the operating system for the IP address and returns it to OpenNebula. That way you can show the IP address of the VM in Sunstone even when it’s not delivered via the contextualization i.e. virtual DVD image.

Our VMs get their IP address via our DHCP pool and not from OpenNebula, and we managed to do this modification successfully.

Hi @tosaraja,

Thanks for the suggestion. It’s an interesting use case. We’ll study it and keep you informed if there is any progress in this regard.

Cheers.

Hi @Max_Rybas

Currently external IPs not managed by OpenNebula are monitored, but these IPs are hidden in the VM datatable for performance reasons.

However, you can enable the attribute get_extended_vm_monitoring in sunstone-server.conf to display it.

Don’t forget to restart Sunstone service after this change.

Best,
Victor.
