AMQP 1.0 Daemon Usage

Gnocchi provides a daemon gnocchi-amqp1d that is compatible with the AMQP 1.0 (Advanced Messaging Queuing Protocol 1.0 (ISO/IEC 19464)) protocol and can listen to metrics sent over the network via the amqp1 collectd plugin named amqp1.

amqp1 collectd write plugin enables collectd output to be sent to an Advanced Messaging Queuing Protocol 1.0 intermediary such as the Apache Qpid Dispatch Router or Apache Artemis Broker.

How It Works?

In order to enable amqp1d support in Gnocchi, you need to configure the [amqp1d] option group in the configuration file. You need to provide a host with port and topic name that amqp1 collectd plugin is publishing metric to and a resource name that will be used as the main resource where all the metrics will be attached with host name as an attribute, a user and project id that will be associated with the resource and metrics, and an archive policy name that will be used to create the metrics.

All the metrics will be created dynamically as the metrics are sent to gnocchi-amqp1d, and attached with the source host name to the resource name you configured.

To use it, Gnocchi must be installed with the amqp1 flavor:

pip install -e .[postgresql,file,amqp1]
