In compute node, os_endpoint_type should be set to internalURL when controller management ip is used

[Koteswara Rao Kelam]

Instead of specifying "controller", clearly specify wherther it is "controller management ip" or "controller public ip".
User should use management IP of controller for all communication b/w controller and compute nodes. So in the documentation, clearly specify <Controller management IP> instead of <controller> and in ceilometer.conf of compute node change
os_endpoint_type=internalURL

The controller node only contains one interface for management when using the example architectures at the beginning of the guide.

http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/install-guide/install/apt/content/ch_overview.html

[Koteswara Rao Kelam (koti-kelam)]

controller node also contains API network which exposes all OpenStack APIs to tenants.
http://docs.openstack.org/cloud-admin/admin-guide-cloud/content/connectivity.html

By default os_endpoint_type=publicURL in the ceilometer.conf file. We should mention in the manual that this should be changed to internalURL and "controller" means "controller management IP".

The architecture provided by the installation guide only has one network interface on the controller node to simplify installation. Architectures provided by the administration guide reflect more complex production environments.

[Andreas Jaeger (jaegerandi)]

The cloud-admin guide describes a different architecture than the Install Guide. Please see here: http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/install-guide/install/zypper/content/ch_overview.html

[Koteswara Rao Kelam (koti-kelam)]

What about os_endpoint_type? On compute node, by default os_endpoint_type=publicURL. This should be changed to internalURL then only it will use management interface.
In installation guide, under "Install the Telemetry module" section point 3 clearly says to use "controller managenent IP".

"3. Configure MongoDB to make it listen on the controller management IP address. Edit
the /etc/mongodb.conf file and modify the bind_ip key:"

In the same way there is no harm in clearly specifying "controller management IP" instead of "controller"

Hi Andreas Jaeger and Matt Kassawara
Please review this and approve/provide comments so that we can proceed furthur.

[Anne Gentle (annegentle)]

Let me make sure I understand the problem.

- our current architecture uses a single public network interface on the controller node
- when monitoring with ceilometer, best practice is to use a second, private network interface on the controller for monitoring purposes

Does that mean that the ceilometer installation chapter would need to add information that expands the original architecture by adding a new network interface to the controller for monitoring purposes?

[Koteswara Rao Kelam (koti-kelam)]

Agree with you. Controller uses only one interface ie management interface. By default os_endpoint_type=publicURL. This should be changed to internalURL then only it will use management interface. Atleast this change we should make.
