nova usage list to show tenant name.

[Ritesh Paiboina]

$nova --version
2.17.0.75

When I issue nova usage list command , I get the following details.

$ nova usage-list
Usage from 2014-04-11 to 2014-05-10:
+----------------------------------+---------+--------------+-----------+---------------+
| Tenant ID | Servers | RAM MB-Hours | CPU Hours | Disk GB-Hours |
+----------------------------------+---------+--------------+-----------+---------------+
| 41a0db24bc8940b6a2f3297bef5f6cee | 3 | 1478.70 | 23.10 | 0.00 |
| 0dceee00627f44838174cccb6bf29421 | 3 | 172.36 | 1.36 | 0.00 |
+----------------------------------+---------+--------------+-----------+---------------+

From the Tenant ID, I cannot able to know what tenant name it is . I want to know the tenant name. Because tenant ID is long to remember. To get tenant name , we have to use keystone tenant list.

My proposal is to include tenant name in the current columns of nova usage list.
So that user can easily recognize its tenant name. As the same thing is available in Horizon Dashboard.

Is their any problems or dependices so that we are not including tenant name. If yes, please share the details for it.

 I would like to do the code executions for this.

Thank you

RITESH.

Hi,

I have a bluepring: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/91697/

I am currently planning to cover 'nova list' case, but it can be easily expanded to fix this bug as well.

[Ritesh Paiboina (rsritesh)]

Hi Shraddha,

Here nova list and nova usage list case are different. One more thing, when I give nova list command. I get the following output.

+--------------------------------------+--------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------+
| ID | Name | Status | Task State | Power State | Networks |
+--------------------------------------+--------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------+
| f058d03a-de2d-4eba-b3f4-8c074e76e17b | RITESH | ACTIVE | - | Running | public=172.24.4.3 |
+--------------------------------------+--------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------+

Here I am getting the name. But nova usage list case is different with respect to the VM user.

+----------------------------------+---------+--------------+-----------+---------------+
| Tenant ID | Servers | RAM MB-Hours | CPU Hours | Disk GB-Hours |
+----------------------------------+---------+--------------+-----------+---------------+
| 41a0db24bc8940b6a2f3297bef5f6cee | 3 | 1478.70 | 23.10 | 0.00 |
| 0dceee00627f44838174cccb6bf29421 | 3 | 172.36 | 1.36 | 0.00 |
+----------------------------------+---------+--------------+-----------+---------------+

I am looking to fix this by adding tenant name over there. If I am wrong please tell me.

[Shraddha Pandhe (shraddha-pandhe)]

Hi Ritesh,

The 'Name' that you are talking about in 'nova list', is that a display name of the VM? Because there is no support for that in openstack to display username/ VM owner name right now. (as evident from the comments on my blueprint)

Our use cases are similar in the sense that, we both are trying to convert UUID to Display name.

It works for VM UUID <-> VM display name right now, because, nova-client does a servers/detail call to the nova-api, and api returns all the information about al the VMs. After that, its just json parsing at the client side, that fetches the mapping from the json. Currently there is no call to nova-api that returns both, user uuid and username (or tenant uuid/tenant name). Its mainly because that information is maintained by keystone rather than nova-api.

Does that make sense?

[Ritesh Paiboina (rsritesh)]

Hi Shraddha

The name I am talking about is TENANT NAME and in a TENANT there are mulitple vm's . In nova list command , the command gives me about VM details.

To be more clear,
Here we are talking two different commands.

1. List instances:
    $ nova list

2. Get summary statistics for each tenant:
    $ nova usage-list

I am talking about the second command above. I am talking about the each tenant statistics. Not about the VM's.

I want to know on which command you are talking about.

[Shraddha Pandhe (shraddha-pandhe)]

What I am trying to say is, irrespective of whether its nova list or nova usage-list, the novaclient part is common. So you would need to call keystone client somehow to get the actual name for the tenant ID. I am doing the same thing but just for username, and not for tenant name.

For nova list, anyway you are getting the username of the each instance with it ID. You don't have to do any thing else.

Check Below :

ritesh@ritesh-ThinkCentre-M92p:~/devstack$ nova list
+--------------------------------------+--------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------+
| ID | Name | Status | Task State | Power State | Networks |
+--------------------------------------+--------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------+
| f058d03a-de2d-4eba-b3f4-8c074e76e17b | RITESH | ACTIVE | - | Running | public=172.24.4.3 |
+--------------------------------------+--------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------+

The flow of calling api for nova list and nova usage list is different.

What username you want to put in which command . For a tenant , there are mulitpile users. So tenant is defined by tenant's name , not by any username.

Please check the openstach dasboard , overview usage.

[Ritesh Paiboina (rsritesh)]

In openstack dashboard, when you click on admin -->overview. It gives you overview usage summary page.
In that page. if you observe, you are getting project name ( i.e tenant name ).
But in nova usage list command , I am getting tenant id not tenant name.
So my point is that along with tenant id , tenant name should also be added as similar as in GUI page.

[Christopher Yeoh (cyeoh-0)]

This is a novaclient feature, not a nova one

[Sayaji Patil (sayaji15)]

Hey Christopher,
                               The current tenant-usage api does not return the "tenant name". So if we want to display tenant name, it can be done in two ways

1) Once the tenant-usage api returns, make an extra call to get the tenant name
2) Modify the api to return the tenant name alongwith other parameters displayed in the o/p

In case of #2, changes are required in the nova-api

[Amandeep (rattenpal-amandeep)]

Hi all,
I think we should go with step 1 given by sayaji : Once the tenant-usage api returns, make an extra call to get the tenant name.
because step 2 will degrade the performance of nova-api too.
For that first we need to change in the server side then novaclient.
