  1. Go to Inventory > VIRTUAL > OpenStack,. The Monitoring Domain page appears.
  2. On the Monitoring Domain page, click New. The Monitoring Domain Configuration page appears.
  3. Enter or select the appropriate information to configure Monitoring Domain for OpenStack. Refer to the following table for field-level details.

    Note:  For the URL, User Domain Name, Project Domain Name, and Region field values, refer to the RC file downloaded from your OpenStack dashboard.

    Field

    Description

    Use V Series 2

    Select Yes for V Series 2 configuration.

    Monitoring Domain

    A name for the monitoring domain.

    Alias

    An alias used to identify the monitoring domain.

    URL

    The authentication URL is the Keystone URL of the OpenStack cloud. This IP address must be DNS resolvable.

    Refer to the OpenStack User Manual for more information on retrieving the authentication URL from the OpenStack.

    User Domain Name

    The domain name of your OpenStack authentication domain.

    Note:  

    • If you are using a separate domain for AUTH, enter that domain name as User Domain Name.
    • If you are not using a separate domain, you can use the same domain for User and Project Domain Name.

    Project Domain Name

    The domain name of your OpenStack project.

    Project Name

    The name of the project used for OpenStack authentication.

    Region

    The region where the Project resides. You can find your region by running one of these commands, depending on your OpenStack version.

    keystone endpoint-list or openstack endpoint list or looking at the RC file in OpenStack to view your credentials.

    Username

    The username used to connect to your OpenStack cloud.

    Note:  If you are using OVS mirroring, you must belong to a role that meets the OpenStack minimum requirements for OVS Mirroring. Refer to OVS Mirroring Prerequisites for more information.

    Password

    The password of your OpenStack cloud.

    Traffic Acquisition Method

    Select the type of agent used to capture traffic for monitoring:

    ● G-vTAP: If you select G-vTAP as the tapping method, the traffic is acquired from the G-vTAP Agents installed on the VMs. You must configure the G-vTAP Controller to monitor the G-vTAP Agents.
    ● OVS Mirroring: If you select OVS Mirroring as your tapping method, the traffic is acquired from the G-vTAP Agents installed on the hypervisors. Refer to Open vSwitch (OVS) Mirroring for detailed information. You must configure the G-vTAP Controller to monitor the G-vTAP Agents.
    ● Customer Orchestrated Source: If you select Customer Orchestrated Source as the tapping method, you can use tunnels as a source where the traffic is directly tunneled to V Series nodes without deploying G-vTAP Agents or G-vTAP controllers.

    Projects to Monitor (Only for OVS Mirroring traffic acquisition method)

    This field only appears for OVS Mirroring traffic acquisition method.

    ● Click the Get Project List to view the list of projects.

    Note:  The Get Project List button will only work if all the OpenStack credentials have been provided. Refer to OVS Mirroring Prerequisites.

    ● Select projects that you want to monitor from the list.
    ● You can click Select None to clear existing selections or Select All to add all available projects to the connection configuration.

    Traffic Acquisition Tunnel MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)

    The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the maximum size of each packet that the tunnel endpoint can carry from the G-vTAP Agent to the GigaVUE V Series node.

    • For GRE, the MTU value should be 50 bytes less than default value..
    • For VXLAN, the G-vTAP Agent tunnel MTU should be 100 bytes less than the default MTU size.
  4. Click Save. The OpenStack Fabric Launch Configuration page appears. Refer to Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE-FM for detailed information.

Note:  If GigaVUE‑FM fails to connect to OpenStack, an error message is displayed specifying the cause of failure. The connection status is also displayed in Audit Logs, refer to Audit logs track the changes and activities that occur in the virtual nodes due to user actions. The logs can be filtered to view specific information. for more information.

Managing Monitoring Domain

You can view the details of the monitoring domain that are created in the list view. The list view details can be viewed based on:

You can also filter the monitoring domain based on a specified criterion. In the monitoring domain page there are two filter options as follows:

■   Right filter - Click the Filter button on the right to filter the monitoring domain based on a specific criterion.
■   Left filter - Click the to filter the monitoring domain based on the domain and connections. You can click + to create a new monitoring domain. This filter once applied also works even when the tabs are swapped.

To edit or delete a specific monitoring domain, select the monitoring domain, click the ellipses .

When you click a monitoring domain, you can view details of it in a split view of the window. In the split view window, you can view the details such as Configuration, Launch Configuration and V Series configuration.
