ceilometer cli commands returns 403

DarkKnight gravatar image

I am running opentack newton and have installed ceilometer service. However my ceilometer cli commands are not working. I have sourced the admin rc file that has the correct values of various parameters.

I have also tried a debug statement and found out this. ceilometer --debug meter-list

Some excerpts from the logs

DEBUG (client) REQ: curl -g -i -X 'GET' 'http://controller:8777/v2/meters' -H 'User-Agent: ceilometerclient.openstack.common.apiclient' -H 'X-Auth-Token: {SHA1}53522111fa34135e7732e859e93797faa1be7a76'

DEBUG (client) RESP BODY: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

Can someone suggest what is the issue?

A few suggestions:

Check the ceilometer log files.

Perhaps something is wrong with the authentication configuration in ceilometer.conf, for example in the keystone_authtoken section of that file.

Or the policy.json file is buggy.

Agree with @bernd-bausch . Try to enable debug/verbose and check ceilometer's logs as well as httpd's logs.

Had the same problem. What I did to make it work:

  1. Copied the default wsgi file to a new one:

    sudo cp /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ceilometer/api/app.wsgi /var/www/cgi-bin/ceilometer/app/app.wsgi

  2. Changed the WSGIScriptAlias line in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ceilometer.conf

    WSGIScriptAlias / "/var/www/cgi-bin/ceilometer/app/app.wsgi"

Side note: it seems 'ceilometer-api' component is not needed (even though the guide asks us to install it). If you check the ceilometer-api logs it's trying to enable its service on port 8777, which Apache already enabled. Anyway, Ceilometer API through port 8777 is deprecated in favor of Gnocchi and other components

Yes, working fine after replacing the file and reloading apache.

The procedure indicated by @gianpietro works very well (installation for Ubuntu)

@gianpietro: I was seeking some clarifications. There are two ways of how to start the ceilometer-api service. One of them is to start it as CGI script inside a webserver, HTTPD in this case. Other way is to start it as a python process. Correct me if i have got it wrong.

@DarkKnight: I understand the same. The service starts by default inside httpd, so if we install the ceilometer-api component as the newton guide shows (wrongly I guess, as it's deprecated) it will try to start its service as a python process and fail as the port is already taken.

Change the port on which on which the ceilometer api service runs.

DarkKnight gravatar imageDarkKnight ( 2017-01-19 03:44:10 -0500 )edit

@DarkKnight - so how changing port helps ? U either start ceilometer-api from apache's mod_wsgi or with regular systemctl start openstack-ceilometer-api
