Revision history [back]

It turns out that there were actually a few issues.

1) Apparently, Gnocchi doesn't like you having admin creds loaded for the environment variables (which I was using per above in admin-openrc) when running the Gnocchi client. Instead use something like this to load your Gnochi creds:

[ ~] # cat ./gnocchi-openrc
export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=Default
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=Default
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=service
export OS_USERNAME=gnocchi
export OS_PASSWORD=GNOCCHI_PW
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://controller:5000/v3
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
export OS_IMAGE_API_VERSION=2
export OS_AUTH_TYPE=password

2) The RDO documentation for Ocata Gnocchi install skipped adding necessary permissions/role need to be assigned to the gnocchi user in keystone and I didn't notice. I added the role/permissions:

[root@gcp-openstack ~]# openstack role add --project service --user gnocchi admin

3) Lastly, I was running the latest version of Gnocchi at the time (4.0.3) and Ceilometer 8.1.1. According to the following bug report, it appears support for explicitly setting interface/regoin_name was changed in gnocchiclient 3.1 and remove in gnocchiclient 4:

Per the bug report (above), Gnocchi support broke in Gnocchi 3.1. The latest available version PyPi before 3.1 is 3.0.15. I uninstalled 4.0.3 and installed 3.0.15. However, I ran into the following error when trying to run ceilometer-upgrade:

More research revealed (per the bug report below) that this is due to Ceilometer having been updated and now expecting gnocchi version 3.1.0.

Uninstalled Gnocchi 3.0.15 and installed 3.1.0. This resolved the final issue!
