# OpenStack Exporter

The openstack-exporter charm is a machine charm for [openstack-exporter](https://github.com/openstack-exporter/openstack-exporter).

OpenStack Exporter is a Prometheus exporter for OpenStack, which uses the OpenStack REST APIs to produce metrics about the OpenStack cloud. This charm deploys OpenStack Exporter, configures it to connect to an OpenStack deployment using Keystone, and provides integration with [Canonical Observability Stack (COS)](https://charmhub.io/cos-lite) (via [grafana-agent](https://charmhub.io/grafana-agent)). It also includes some Grafana dashboards that use provided metrics.

This can be useful to operators and admins looking for more insights into a Charmed OpenStack cloud.

## [Getting started](https://charmhub.io/openstack-exporter#p-31101-getting-started)

Please check out the [tutorial](https://charmhub.io/openstack-exporter/docs/tutorial).

## [Security considerations](https://charmhub.io/openstack-exporter#p-31101-security-considerations)

The charm requests an admin user from Keystone for use with openstack-exporter. The exporter appears to only support an admin user, as non-admin users are not able to list all the endpoints required for the metrics.

## [Known issues](https://charmhub.io/openstack-exporter#p-31101-known-issues)

* Releases up until revision 27 required a temporary custom snap build of the software to be provided as charm resource. This is not necessary for newer revisions.
* Upgrading the charm from revision 27 or older to a revision higher than 27 may cause the snap to move a blocked state and require manual intervention. This is intentional. Please see the [related how-to](https://charmhub.io/openstack-exporter/docs/upgrade-from-27-or-older).
* Glance metrics are currently [failing](https://github.com/openstack-exporter/openstack-exporter/issues/400) to scrape which can cause false alerts.
