Just an FYI.  I kind of figured things out.

 

There’s an api called ‘fm_api’ that let’s you instantiate a class FaultAPIv2 and call set_fault.  This will add an Event to the Horizon Fault Manager, Event List.

 

That’s essentially what I want.  So, I figure I’d thank you for looking into this but also let you know that I probably have what I want.

 

Thanks,

Rich

Hey Richard … sorry for the slow reply …

This is the right place to ask.

 

I am not totally sure what you mean by “We want to create user alarms in OpenStack.”

 

Some other background on alarms in StarlingX:

 

Anyways … let me know if this helps,

Greg

Sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask this question.

 

We want to create user alarms in OpenStack.  We are not very knowledgeable of OpenStack.  Ultimately, we’d like to raise alarms and have them appear in the Horizon Fault Management page or via the fm CLI.  It does not appear that StarlingX has anything to do with creating or raising alarms.  There are some references in OpenStack documentation on aodh but that service is not deployed in our configuration.

 

I’m not entirely sure whether OpenStack supports extensible alarms.  Perhaps that’s why I’m finding so little info on it.  Any pointers on where I should look?

Thanks,

Rich
