MagnetoDB monitoring api

Launchpad: monitoring-api

The API for exposing usage statistic for users, external monitoring or billing tools.

Problem Description

As a magnetodb user I need to know how much data I have in table As a magnetodb administrator I need to know now much space is used with user's table As a accountant department I need to know how big user's table is in order to create a bill

Proposed Change

1. Introduce monitoring API available on the same port as data API by path /moninoting/*
2. implement REST method for list of tables /moninoting/{tenant_id}/tables
3. table usage details /moninoting/{tenant_id}/table/{table_name}

Response: {size: 1003432; item_count: 3000}

Alternatives

Implement as part of data API. However it gives access to data itself for monitoring tools.

Security Impact

• authorization is performed by user's token
• authorization can be performed by token with specific role

Notifications Impact

None

Other End User Impact

TBD

Performance Impact

Now we have POC for count items in table (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/118557/) but this implementation is very expensive (we scan all our data to get one counter). So we need change concept and use Cassandra JMX to get approximate number of items and also size of CF on disk.

Other Deployer Impact

None

Developer Impact

None

Implementation

TBD (cql, JMX)
