how to install masakari

[VuNgocTan]

Hi, I have read your document, I would like to use Masakari and I'm having trouble finding a step by step or other documentation to get started with. Which part should be installed on controller, which is should be on compute, and what is the prerequisite to install masakari, I have installed corosync and pacemaker, what else do I need to do ?

Hi @VuNgocTan Thanks for the comment. Documentation and Code here are outdated and not maintained. Current code is maintained as OpenStack project in,
Wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Masakari
Code:
https://opendev.org/openstack/masakari
https://opendev.org/openstack/masakari-monitors
https://opendev.org/openstack/python-masakariclient

At this point, we do not have published step by step guide to setup masakari and it's components.
We are currently creating this document and you will be able to see it in review in few weeks.

However, we have ansible plugin and devstack plugin for masakari.
Here is how you setup masakari with devstack.
https://docs.openstack.org/masakari/latest/development.environment.html

In generally, masakari-api, masakari-engine are installed in OpenStack Control node and all the masakari-monitors and python-masakariclient are installed in nova-compute hosts.

Please feel free to ask any question about masakari in,

Hi @sampathP thank you for your reply, I appreciate this very much, I am like walking in the mist, where is no way out to install this masakari, I installed masakari on controller node followed by this link: https://opendev.org/openstack/masakari, are those masakari-api and masakari-engine included in that link ?

Hi @sampathP
I have installed OpenStack with these components(nova, cinder, identity, dashboard,...)
I installed cinder (block storage ) in a separate machine. In addition, I use ESXi hypervisor.
I want to know block storage is enough for shared storage or should I create compute node shared storage by NFS or ceph , ... to build up hypervisor failure in Masakari .
