Bug Description

In support of operators with more traditional network monitoring infrastructures, add the ability to collect statistics and status from Neutron.

In the first phase, the goal is to be able to fill in the data structures specified in the following RFCs:

2863 - Interfaces Group MIB [1]
4293 - Management Information Base for the Internet Protocol [2]

This stage focuses on collecting the information from components of the reference implementation, aggregating it so that it aligns with the neutron data model and presenting an interface that north bound systems can use to
consume the aggregated data.

Subsequent phases will be driven by operator feedback and requirements.

See the etherpad [3] for more details.

Where do you plan to store all of these statistics? This could be a large amount of data for a decent sized OpenStack Neutron deployment.

The plan is to (if possible) just harvest available data from where it is currently kept as part of part II (interworking with Ceilometer) rather than provide any internal storage for it.

For data that isn't already available, the plan is to first scope the amount that has to be collected and then let that drive storage implementation.

Any spec proposed for this rfe?

no - when this rfe was moved to Confirmed, the requirement was to write up the approach in a devref document - the current draft of which is in the parent commit (https://review.openstack.org/204282)

We need to better decouple the protocol choice from the performance monitoring need, but this is a sensible thing to do.

    Add instrumentation devref, Part I

    Presents what instrumentation is available from VIFs in Nova,
    Metering Lables and Rules, Linux Bridge, and OVS. Proposes
    mappings for structures defined in RFC 2863 and RFC 4293 and
    the method that will be followed for a data collection proof
    of concept.

    How to aggregate and consume these counters will be covered
    in future patch sets that extend this devref.
