OpenStack is a leading open-source cloud computing platform designed to control and manage large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources across a datacenter, all managed through a dashboard or via the OpenStack API. It’s a popular choice for building a scalable cloud infrastructure without heavy reliance on proprietary models.
To monitor OpenStack effectively, you need a robust tool that can gather, analyze, and alert on critical metrics. Netdata offers an efficient way to monitor OpenStack by utilizing the openmetrics (Prometheus) exporter. The OpenStack exporter is specifically designed to fetch metrics periodically, helping you gain crucial insights without requiring a standalone Prometheus server or Grafana. With Netdata, these metrics are automatically integrated into dashboards with real-time alerts, providing a comprehensive view of your OpenStack environment.
Monitoring OpenStack is essential to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of your cloud infrastructure. Effective monitoring provides insights into resource usage, identifies bottlenecks, and helps prevent downtime by alerting you to potential issues before they impact your system. This ensures high availability and reliability, meeting both user demands and business requirements.
Deploying OpenStack monitoring tools like Netdata streamlines infrastructure management, offering unique benefits:
