real-time statistics with horizon
DESCRIPTION
Increasingly, our customers are asking for more detailed and up to date information about the cloud infrastructure on which their applications are running. Currently, the information sources available to Horizon are quite limited in the type of information available, the sources of information, and the timeliness with which the information can be made available. In this presentation, we describe recent work we have done in instrumenting our OpenStack deployments with distributed agents that provide real-time information to Horizon. We describe some re-architecture work done to Horizon to enable it to access this information, and show the results of our implementation. This work has enabled our customers to have increased visibility into the real-time state of their clouds, and has been very well received.TRANSCRIPT
