gnocchi with s3 backend(tested on tripleo-quickstart(PIKE))

Steps:

1. Follow this: https://julien.danjou.info/blog/2017/metrics-on-amazon-with-gnocchi-s3-driver

   a. Install python-boto3 on overcloud controller nodes

   yum install python-pip
   pip install boto3
       

   b. Make sure overcloud controller is in time sync

   systemctl stop ntpd
   ntpdate in.pool.ntp.org
   systemctl start ntpd
       

1. Points to remember in file /etc/gnocchi/gnocchi.conf:

   [indexer]
   # Syntax
   # url = postgresql://<DB_USERNAME>:<DB_PASSWORD>@<GNOCCHI_ENDPOINT>:5432/gnocchi
   
   # Example:
   url = postgresql://gnocchi:[email protected]:5432/gnocchi
      
   [storage]
   driver = s3
   s3_endpoint_url = https://s3.ap-south-13.amazonaws.com
   s3_region_name = ap-south-13
   s3_access_key_id = <ACCESS_KEY_ID>
   s3_secret_access_key = <SECRET_KEY>
   s3_bucket_prefix = gnocchi # This is really important, choose unique prefix as S3 bucket names are global
       

2. You may need edit security group for RDS instance and allow from “Anywhere” in “source”. Refer screenshot in comment below.
