Overlap with openstack-service-checks

OpenStack Exporter offers native integration with the Canonical Observability Stack (COS) and can be used as a partial replacement for the OpenStack Service Checks charm (o-s-c), which is based on the LMA stack and will eventually be deprecated.

If you want to read more about migrating from an LMA based workload to COS-Lite, check the Migrating from LMA to COS-Lite guide.

In a cloud where both openstack-exporter and openstack-service-checks are deployed, some of the OpenStack Service Checks alerts will no longer be needed, and can be disabled by:

  • setting check-neutron-agents to False on the o-s-c charm config.
  • silencing the alerts for nova-services and cinder-services coming from o-s-c in the Grafana/Prometheus UI
