| 16:07:21 | Uggla | Seems that we are hitting a lot https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/2109428 | |
| 16:07:48 | Uggla | gibi, do you want to add something about it ? | |
| 16:07:55 | gibi | no | |
| 16:08:03 | gibi | it is not nova | |
| 16:08:19 | gibi | and this week I did not checked if we hit it again | |
| 16:08:44 | Uggla | yep I hit it too last week. | |
| 16:09:28 | Uggla | maybe dansmith knows more about this issue ? | |
| 16:09:43 | bauzas | I've seen a revert proposal | |
| 16:09:47 | bauzas | from Glance IIRC | |
| 16:09:49 | dansmith | is this pre-revert? | |
| 16:10:03 | dansmith | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/950336 | |
| 16:10:11 | dansmith | merged may 20 | |
| 16:10:44 | gibi | I last checked on the 19th | |
| 16:10:50 | gibi | I can check for hits since then... | |
| 16:10:59 | dansmith | tl;dr the new glance location API is fundamentally broken for ceph and cinder backends, we reverted nova's use of it while working on a solution for those backends in glance | |
| 16:12:19 | Uggla | thx for the info dan | |
| 16:12:23 | gibi | I see two hits after 20th | |
| 16:12:24 | gibi | | 455491157c0f44cebf2cfcfe9f1c7b5c | 2025-05-22T07:20:41 | check | https://review.opendev.org/950623 | master | | |
| 16:12:27 | gibi | | f61be3ef2b9a442d8843f65152343018 | 2025-05-20T12:55:29 | check | https://review.opendev.org/948450 | master | | |
| 16:12:48 | dansmith | one is the revert of revert, so expected | |
| 16:13:01 | dansmith | the other is too close to merge, probably used old code | |
| 16:13:09 | gibi | OK then maybe we are moving to the good direction | |
| 16:13:14 | gibi | dansmith: thanks for the info | |
| 16:13:17 | dansmith | np | |
| 16:13:36 | Uggla | ok mobing on | |

| 16:20:56 | Uggla | fwiesel, something to share ? | |
| 16:21:20 | fwiesel | So, from my side I want to introduce dpascual. He will be my stand-in, in case I should be inable to attend. | |
| 16:21:36 | Uggla | dpascual, welcome | |
| 16:21:37 | dpascual | hi everyone | |
| 16:22:01 | fwiesel | He is operating the vmwareapi CI, and hopefully should keep you in the loop in case I can't | |
| 16:22:51 | fwiesel | Otherwise, since last Tuesday, we have a problem with some change in neutron. I am debugging this, so the CI failures come from there. | |
| 16:22:58 | fwiesel | That's from my side. | |
| 16:23:09 | fwiesel | Uggla: back to you | |
| 16:23:41 | Uggla | fwiesel, thx good to know. | |

| 16:26:30 | Uggla | #link Callum027: Spec-less blueprint for adding new attributes to libvirt domain XML metadata: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/xml-image-meta | |
| 16:26:49 | Callum027 | Hi guys, I am proposing a spec-less blueprint to add new metadata to Nova's libvirt domain metadata for Ceilometer and other telemetry-related OpenStack services. | |
| 16:26:52 | Uggla | Hi Callum027 | |
| 16:27:05 | Callum027 | To give some context, a long time ago Ceilometer used to perform API queries for polling instances. Because this was not scalable it was changed to reading the XML metadata Nova adds to the libvirt domain metadata on hypervisors. My understanding is that this was not the original intention for how this metadata is used, but Ceilometer now relies on | |
| 16:27:05 | Callum027 | it and has done for a long time, and changing this at this point would be a big project. | |
| 16:27:22 | Callum027 | The problem that Ceilometer faces is that this metadata does not provide enough information for Ceilometer to do what it needs, so Ceilometer still needs to perform Nova API queries for some things, which scales badly with the number of running instances in a cloud and increases API load. What I'm proposing are additions to Nova's libvirt domain | |
| 16:27:22 | Callum027 | metadata to not only make it unnecessary for Ceilometer to make API queries for compute polling in most cases, but also add additional metadata that make it easier to use services like CloudKitty to implement OpenStack billing. | |
