Please how can I restart ceilometer after editing the pulling intervals in /etc/ceilometer/pipeline.yaml from 600 to 60. Since rejoin-stack.sh is no longer available in devstack are there other options ? Would there be alternative ways by-passing the default interval of 600 ? Many thanks.
In devstack, each OpenStack service runs in its own virtual terminal. All these virtual terminals are managed by a GNU utility named screen. To restart a service, access the virtual terminal, interrupt the program running in the foreground, then re-run it by going back in the command history.
To know the names of terminals, just list all the ceilometer log files:
ls /opt/stack/logs/ceilometer*.log
I am sure there is also a screen command to do that, but I don't know it by heart.
To enter a screen, for example the screen of the central agent:
screen -x stack -p ceilometer-acentral
To interrupt the foreground process, type control-C. To restart the program, type !! (double exclamation mark). I remember that one of the ceilometer processes was immune against control-C. If you have that problem, use the kill command to interrupt it.
Hi @Bernd . Thanks for your response, it has at least led me closer to the answer. I have been able to get to the screens and it seems the most important one to apply the changes is the "ceilometer-acompute". However, this has been impossible to stop this screen, after using all combinations.
Stop the ceilometer-acompute process using the kill command, then restart it in its virtual terminal.
Soapbox mode: Devstack is not for production nor, I think, learning, but for development and testing. Try Packstack, a more robust way of standing up a cloud, and using more standard methods.
