14:01:50 <rhochmuth> https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/monasca-team-meeting-agenda
14:01:53 <rhochmuth> hello everyone
14:02:19 <rhochmuth> we should probably spend a few minutes on an agenda or any topics that folks would like to cover today
14:02:32 <rhochmuth> does anyone have some items?
14:02:58 <kamil_> nope
14:03:05 <koji> i have one review
14:03:06 <koji> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/467877
14:04:02 <koji> this is a bug fix for slack notification
14:04:05 <rhochmuth> thanks koji
14:04:12 <rhochmuth> do you have any output from this plugin
14:05:12 <rhochmuth> Also, wanted to point out, https://review.openstack.org/#/c/461917/
14:05:29 <rhochmuth> I was wondering how close your slack plugin was to the hipchat one
14:05:47 <rhochmuth> not that i'm using that as a criteria, i was just wondering if you've looked at that plugin
14:06:10 <rhochmuth> tim had posted an image of the output at, http://imgur.com/TdcFv6V
14:06:18 <rhochmuth> as an example
14:06:25 <koji> sorry, i didn't check the hipchat one
14:06:30 <rhochmuth> no problem
14:07:12 <rhochmuth> these plugins can evolve separately, but it woudl be nice to have some level of consistency between then if possible and it makes sense
14:07:21 <koji> at this moment, the slack plugin outputs the alarm information as json
14:07:33 <koji> i agree
14:07:36 <rhochmuth> yeah, that is busted
14:07:58 <rhochmuth> unfortunately, i couldn't get the original developer to resolve that when he was still here
14:08:22 <rhochmuth> and i thought the intention was that he was going to commit the initial review and then fix it
14:08:35 <rhochmuth> unfortunately, after the initial review/merge he didn't come back
14:08:43 <rhochmuth> i guess we scared him away
14:09:10 <rhochmuth> so, i'll take a look at this one
14:09:18 <rhochmuth> we've also been starting to use slack
14:09:26 <rhochmuth> so possibly i can get this plugin deployed
14:09:31 <rhochmuth> i'll check on that this morning
14:09:43 <koji> thanks!
14:10:09 <koji> as i wrote in the commit comment, the plugin of current master doesn't work
14:10:15 <rhochmuth> timothyb89 might be able to take a look and have some suggesstions
14:11:47 <koji> ok, i'll wait for your comments :)
14:12:13 <jgrassler> o/
14:12:27 <rhochmuth> note, artur had also left an interesting comment recently
14:12:36 <rhochmuth> hi jgrassler
14:12:38 <jgrassler> Sorry I'm a bit late, hopefully not too late for adding a little bit to the agenda: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/473519
14:12:55 <jgrassler> Tomasz suggested I bring this up in today's meeting :-)
14:12:57 <rhochmuth> np, there wasn't an agenda created
14:13:14 <rhochmuth> so we are in open discussion right no
14:13:25 <rhochmuth> koji: can we move on or do you have more?
14:13:53 <koji> nothing about the review
14:14:07 <rhochmuth> ok, let's move on then
14:14:13 <rhochmuth> thank koji
14:14:21 <koji> thanks, too
14:14:37 <rhochmuth> jgrassler: you have the floor
14:14:42 <jgrassler> rhochmuth: thanks :-)
14:15:10 <jgrassler> So Tomasz and me were bouncing ideas back and forth about how to figure out the user monasca-agent runs as
14:15:37 <jgrassler> We didn't really like the options we came up with so we'd like to ask for additional opinions
14:15:45 <rhochmuth> ok
14:15:57 <rhochmuth> assujming that this is related too, https://review.openstack.org/#/c/473519/
14:16:07 <jgrassler> Yes
14:16:30 <jgrassler> As far as I'm concerned I'd prefer getting the plumbing in place to make the command line switches available in the plugins
14:18:00 <jgrassler> The alternative would be what the postfix plugin in monasca_setup currently does: use the user that owns /etc/monasca/agent/agent.yaml
14:18:12 <jgrassler> Thoughts?
14:18:48 <jgrassler> Right now (in the interest of getting this done in finite time) I'd prefer the postfix plugin's approach.
14:19:15 <rhochmuth> i can see an argument for that
14:19:39 <jgrassler> I don't know if there are currently plans underway to switch to oslo for option processing, but if there are I'd wait until then rather than introduce a lot of plumbing that will eventually get ripped out anyway.
14:19:57 <rhochmuth> i'm not coming up with great counter arguments
14:20:29 <rhochmuth> i don't have any specific requests for switching the agent to oslo
14:20:43 <rhochmuth> but, if my memory serves me correctly, i'm guessing this topic has come up
14:22:14 <rhochmuth> althoguh there is, https://review.openstack.org/#/c/458541/12
14:22:56 <jgrassler> Indeed. So definitely not a good idea to add extra plumbing right now...
14:23:13 <rhochmuth> well, that is specific to the ovs plugin
14:23:44 <jgrassler> Oh, right...
14:23:52 <rhochmuth> tomasz also added, https://review.openstack.org/#/c/468843/
14:24:00 <rhochmuth> which is for the libvirt plugin
14:24:47 <jgrassler> Yeah, but still nothing that would affect agent configuration.
14:24:55 <rhochmuth> correct
14:26:31 <jgrassler> Still, if I can get away with it I'd prefer the postfix plugin's approach for now (with something proper deferred until it's clearer what command line parameter processing will look like)
14:26:51 <rhochmuth> sounds good to me
14:27:15 <jgrassler> Ok. Then I'll implement that in the review and discuss it with Tomasz tomorrow. Thanks!
14:27:24 <rhochmuth> your welcome
14:27:54 <rhochmuth> i guess we can move on to the next topic
14:28:20 <rhochmuth> if anyone has any additional topics then we have plenty of time remaining
14:29:10 <rhochmuth> ok, i think we'll call it for the day
14:29:12 <rhochmuth> thanks everyone
14:29:17 <kamil_> thanks and bye
14:29:20 <rhochmuth> see you next week
14:29:22 <haruki> thx
14:29:23 <koji> thanks
14:29:25 <jgrassler> See you!
