Monitoring the load balancer connection statistics
We have seen earlier that the OpenStack Neutron provides a load balancer as a service. The load balancer service provides you with the statistics of the utilization for each instance created in the load balancer cluster. In this recipe, we will view the load balancer-related usage data collected by OpenStack Ceilometer.
Getting ready
For this recipe, we will need to create a load balancer setup. Use the recipes described in Chapter 8, Using HAProxy for Load Balancing to create a load balancer with two members in the pool. We will also create a virtual IP and health monitor as described in the chapter. The following table describes our load balancer setup:
|
Virtual Machine |
Role |
IP address |
|---|---|---|
|
vm1 |
Member |
20.20.20.3 |
|
vm2 |
Member |
20.20.20.4 |
|
Virtual IP |
Virtual IP |
20.20.20.50 |

20.20.20.51 |
For this recipe, you will need the following information:
