Open stack Log file

1. OpenStack Log File
Automation Duplication
NAME :MUHAMMAD NADZMI B MOHD ZAMERI
MATRIC NO : 043903

2. Introduction
1. The importance of log file in openstack
2. Logfiles records all the data flow and authentication that has happens
in the system
3. Great reliability on the log file in security management and data
management
4. Does not have an alternate way in handling the system if the specific
log file is corrupted or lost
5. Hard for normal user to understand the logfile for the first time
6. Logfile automation duplicate system in theory will make it harder for
you to lose your log file

3. Problem statement
❖ When a log file is lost or corrupted there is no easy way to retrieve the log file and as
such the data that is stored in the system is also lost.
Log file Corruption
❖ The logfile data is to complicated to read as normal user may have a hard time of
knowing what the has happened in their system
Complicated Log File
❖ The Log File of openstack is separated for each and every node services as such its log
file is not centralized in one particular place .
No Centralized Log File

4. Objective
1. To develop a Log File duplicate so that when a log file is
corrupted or lost there is a way to obtain the previous backup of
the logfile.
2. To modify and simplify the openstack dashboard that can
summaries the logfile data so that an average user can read it
easily.
3. To test the producibility of the system by simplifying the
dashboard and centralizing the logfile obtain from the other
services.

5. Project Scope or Method
1. Installing the system is by setting up and configuring the centos 7
operating system
2. Allowing open stack to access and use the computer as a server
that will set up the online cloud storage.
3. Modify the existing module of the open stack system to receive
data and log file
4. Testing and implementation of the system as we will set it up for
a real use case environment monitor the usability of the system

6. Project Limitation
Computer hardware
performance
oOlder hardware
may not run
openstack slowly
Internet speed
connection
bandwidth
oInternet speed
play a point in the
system recovery.

9. PROJECT METHODOLOGY
Planning and Designing
The planing why its a problem
and how to solve the problem
while designing the project
architecture
Configuration
Configuring Openstack config
so that it can duplicate log file
and automation all of the log
file into one file.
Testing
Testing the architecture in a
real world environment as can
it improve usability and
readability of the system
Development
Installing and configure
VMware, centos7 and all of
Openstack components like
Nova,Swift,Cinder,Horizon,Ne
utron,keystone and Glance.
Initiation
The initiation of the project by
researching about openstack,
its architecture and logfile

10. Storyboard

11. Installing Centos 7 on A Virtual Machine

12. Framework

13. Method And Technique
1. Configuration of all openstack components .config file.
2. Add syslog line to all of the components.
a. Example: 1.use_syslog = True; 2.syslog_log_facility = LOG_LOCAL0
3. Create a template for the log file so it be used to duplicate the current
logfile.
4. Create a new directory so that the log file can be send.
a. /var/log/rsyslog/c01.example.com/nova.log

14. Expected Result
A. A log file system that can Duplicate itself even if the user is not
online.
B. A log file system that ease the user if there is corruption in the
original data log file
C. A simplify openstack dashboard that make it easier for the user
to navigate
D. A log file that is easier to read.
