Abstract

The OpenStack cloud platform has more number of configuration variables. Hence there is a need for an efficient management system to manage the configuration variables of the OpenStack cloud platform post deployment. It is very necessary to identify the differences in the configuration variables across multi datacenter environment. To keep track values of configuration variables from time to time in the cloud environment. Further to modify the configuration variables selectively in the cloud environment. The management system can also be extended to manage the system information such as memory, CPU info etc. The OpenStack cloud services generate huge amount of logs. The logs and performance metrics have to be selectively collected for analyzing the failures and performance issues. To achieve this I propose a light weight post deployment configuration, logs and metrics management system for OpenStack based cloud platforms. The system will have agents to collect the configuration variables, logs and performance metrics and stores on a centralized common node. The user can query the collected information for analyzing configuration differences, root cause for failures and performance issues.
