installation of Gnocchi on Queens

Post #1 of 5 (1186 views)

Hello,

We are trying to install ceilometer and gnocchi on Openstack Queens
(Ubuntu 16.04) following the official instructions from
https://docs.openstack.org/ceilometer/queens/install/install-base-ubuntu.html
we end up in serious problems. When we issue the gnocchi install via
apt-get, e.g.

# apt-get install gnocchi-api gnocchi-metricd python-gnocchiclient

*it will uninstall the dashboard, keystone and placement api *(it was a
nice few hours fixing that).

A suggestion to solve this was to use the pre-release archive:

sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:queens-proposed
sudo apt-get update

This installs gnocchi without removing keystone, but the gnocchi api
won't install as a service anymore. It seems like the gnocchi version is
not compatible with Queens.

Has anybody else managed to install gnocchi/ceilometer on the
Queens/Ubuntu 16.04 combo?

Appreciate any help
Terje

For sure, Gnocchi is Queens compatible for sure. This is an bug of the
Ubuntu Cloud Archive packaging. I think you hitting this:

Yes, hitting that one. I understand it's an issue with gnocchi-api
requiring python-3 while openstack queens is running on python-2. What
is the work-around? Install gnocchi/gnocchi api on a separate apache
server outside openstack?

According the bug tracker a new package update will come soon in
queens-proposed. So just waiting

That's could work.

The package has been in queens-proposed for a while, it's just waiting on
someone to verify it and tag it appropriately.

Yes that's a good solution. The gnocchi package was Py3-only and still
installs Py3 by default. We provided Py2 support through the bug mentioned
above to help folks out who still needed it (mainly all-in-one installs).

With the package that is currently in queens-proposed you need to install
libapache2-mod-wsgi and python-gnocchi (as opposed to
libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 and python3-gnocchi) if you want Py2 support.

That's could work.
