Tendrl release v1.5.3 (install guide)

Tendrl (Monitoring Server) System Requirements

The server hosting tendrl-api/central_store should have minimum 12 GB of memory and 4 VCPUs (or equivalent)(due to alerts, logs being stored on this node)

Supported SDS

Tendrl requires Gluster>=3.12.0

SELinux Configuration

Tendrl support running on SELinux enabled systems. Procedure to install the policies a are mentioned below.

Server

yum install carbon-selinux
yum install tendrl-grafana-selinux
yum install tendrl-server-selinux

Storage Nodes

yum install tendrl-collectd-selinux
yum install tendrl-node-selinux

Enabling selinux is optional and not tested completely (WARNING)

In case there are problems running tendrl on such systems, please set SELinux to 'permissive' mode:

Modify /etc/selinux/config, so that SELINUX=permissive
reboot

Firewall Configuration

Tendrl does not currently support running on firewall enabled system as the firewall rules are under development. Hence it is recommended to disable the firewalld on server/storage nodes

service firewalld stop
systemctl disable firewalld
iptables --flush

NTP

Make sure you keep time synchronized on all storage machines and Tendrl server. When you install Tendrl on machines with already existing storage cluster, an ntp daemon (such as chrony or ntpd) is usually already configured because it's part of the storage cluster installation.

yum install ntpdate
ntpdate <ntp_host>

Python DNS

Make sure Python DNS is installed on Tendrl server.

yum install python-dns

Ansible

Make sure Ansible is installed on Tendrl server and all storage nodes, and that the Tendrl server can ssh to each of the storage nodes.

yum install epel-release
yum install ansible

Https Configuration

Please refer to https://github.com/Tendrl/documentation/wiki/Enabling-Https-on-tendrl-server

Server Installation (Tendrl-Ansible)

To install (tendrl server, tendrl agents on storage nodes) via tendrl-ansible:

Follow readme at https://github.com/Tendrl/tendrl-ansible/tree/master

Note: tendrl-ansible is not yet ready for v1.5.2 and v1.5.3, will be completed soon.

Server Installation (Manual)

The following procedure outlines the procedure to install tendrl server components manually

Install CentOS 7.3

Enable the following repositories

wget https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tendrl/release/repo/epel-7/tendrl-release-epel-7.repo
wget https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tendrl/dependencies/repo/epel-7/tendrl-dependencies-epel-7.repo
cp tendrl-*.repo /etc/yum.repos.d
yum install epel-release

Add Grafana repo as per the instructions at http://docs.grafana.org/installation/rpm/#install-via-yum-repository

Install Etcd
```
yum install etcd
```
Configure etcd

Edit the below etcd configurations for allowing the clients to connect to the etcd server

Open /etc/etcd/etcd.conf and update:
- ETCD_LISTEN_CLIENT_URLS="http://<FQDN of etcd server>:2379"
- ETCD_ADVERTISE_CLIENT_URLS="http://<FQDN of etcd server>:2379"
As a value for etcd server FQDN, use some public FQDN address of the tendrl server machine (which is the server you are installing etcd on right now).
Enable and start the etcd service
```
systemctl enable etcd
systemctl start etcd
```
- ** To run secure ETCD (SSL/TLS based encryption and auth), please refer https://github.com/Tendrl/documentation/wiki/Tendrl-with-a-secure-etcd-cluster**
Install Node Agent
```
yum install tendrl-node-agent
```
Configure Node Agent

Edit the below configurations for connecting to the etcd server

Open /etc/tendrl/node-agent/node-agent.conf.yaml and update:
```
etcd_connection: <FQDN of etcd server>
graphite_host: <FQDN of Graphite Server>
```
Note that:
- we configured FQDN address of etcd server just few steps ago
- a safe default value for FQDN address of graphite is the same one we use for etcd here (this guide places both services on tendrl server machine)
- graphite stack is installed later as a dependency of tendrl-monitoring-integration rpm package
- you should not reconfigure graphite_port in this config file
Additional details (useful when you are familiar with graphite stack):
- this guide doesn't include steps to reconfigure any component for graphite stack so that we can assume that default configuration is used
- graphite_host refers to carbon-cache service, which is configured in /etc/carbon/carbon.conf config file

Enable and start Node Agent

systemctl enable tendrl-node-agent
systemctl start tendrl-node-agent

Install tendrl API
```
yum install tendrl-api
```
Configure tendrl API

Edit configuration file /etc/tendrl/etcd.yml for connecting to the etcd server and update :production: section:
```
:production:
    :base_key: ''
    :host: '<FQDN of etcd server>'
    :port: 2379
    :user_name: ''
    :password: ''
```
Then create the admin user:
```
cd /usr/share/tendrl-api
RACK_ENV=production rake etcd:load_admin
```
Note that the default password of the admin user will be shown in output of rake command.

Enable and start API service

systemctl enable tendrl-api
systemctl start tendrl-api

Install tendrl ui
```
yum install tendrl-ui
```

Install Monitoring Integration

yum install tendrl-monitoring-integration

Init graphite-db

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/graphite/manage.py syncdb --noinput
chown apache:apache /var/lib/graphite-web/graphite.db

Enable and start carbon-cache service

systemctl enable carbon-cache
systemctl start carbon-cache

Configure grafana service

Open /etc/sysconfig/grafana-server and update:

CONF_DIR: /etc/tendrl/monitoring-integration/grafana/
CONF_FILE: /etc/tendrl/monitoring-integration/grafana/grafana.ini

Enable and start grafana service

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable grafana-server.service
systemctl start grafana-server

Note that the 1st step here (daemon reload) is actually needed as is a workaround for upstream grafana rpm package we are using right now:

      Installing : grafana-4.4.3-1.x86_64
### NOT starting on installation, please execute the following statements to configure grafana to start automatically using systemd
 sudo /bin/systemctl daemon-reload
 sudo /bin/systemctl enable grafana-server.service
### You can start grafana-server by executing
 sudo /bin/systemctl start grafana-server.service

Configure monitoring-integration

Modify /etc/tendrl/monitoring-integration/monitoring-integration.conf.yaml:
```
datasource_host: <FQDN of graphite server>
etcd_connection: <FQDN of etcd server>
```

Enable and start monitoring-integration

systemctl enable tendrl-monitoring-integration
systemctl start tendrl-monitoring-integration

Enable and start httpd

systemctl enable httpd
systemctl start httpd

Install Notifier
```
yum install tendrl-notifier
```

Configure notifier

Open /etc/tendrl/notifier/notifier.conf.yaml and update:

etcd_connection: <FQDN of etcd server>
etcd_port: <Port of etcd server>

Configure email source::


Open /etc/tendrl/notifier/email.conf.yaml

update -->

email_id = <The sender email id>

email_smtp_server = <The smtp server>

email_smtp_port = <The smtp port>


Note: If SMTP server supports only authenticated email, 
follow the template as in: /etc/tendrl/notifier/email_auth.conf.yaml.sample
      And accordingly enable the following:

    auth = <ssl/tls>

    email_pass = <password corresponding to email_id for authenticating to smtp server>

Enable and start notifier service::

systemctl enable tendrl-notifier
systemctl start tendrl-notifier

Open the following URL in the browser
```
http://<FQDN of the server>
```

Storage Node Installation

Install CentOS 7.3 and Gluster. Ensure all the participating nodes in the Gluster cluster are peer probed (i.e. present in gluster trusted storage pool), only after which tendrl-node-agent should be installed on all nodes, without peer probe, the node wont be detected by tendrl as a gluster node.
