1.4.0

Nouvelles fonctionnalités

  • Add notifications related to Action object.

  • Added the functionality to filter out instances which have metadata field “optimize” set to False. For now, this is only available for the basic_consolidation strategy (if « check_optimize_metadata » configuration option is enabled).

  • Added binding between apscheduler job and Watcher decision engine service. It will allow to provide HA support in the future.

  • Enhancement of vm_workload_consolidation strategy by using “memory.resident” metric in place of “memory.usage”, as memory.usage shows the memory usage inside guest-os and memory.resident represents volume of RAM used by instance on host machine.

  • There is new ability to create Watcher continuous audits with cron interval. It means you may use, for example, optional argument “–interval « */5 * * * * »” to launch audit every 5 minutes. These jobs are executed on a best effort basis and therefore, we recommend you to use a minimal cron interval of at least one minute.

  • Add description property for dynamic action. Admin can see detail information of any specify action.

  • Added gnocchi support as data source for metrics. Administrator can change data source for each strategy using config file.
