Re: [cf-bosh] Re: Re: [Metron Agent] failed to generate job templates with metron agent on top of OpenStack Dynamic network


Amit Kumar Gupta
 

This will not work with dynamic networks. Many jobs in cf-release rely on
data from BOSH to determine their IP so that configuration files can be
rendered up-front by the director rather than at runtime, requiring system
calls to determine IP. metron_agent is one such job, and it tends to be
colocated with each other job (it is what allows all system component logs
to be aggregated through the loggregator system), so this would require all
Cloud Foundry VMs to be on a manual network. You don't need to manually
pick the IPs, you just need to tell BOSH which IPs in the network not to
use and specify these in the "reserved" range.

Since so many different components depend on being able to determine their
IP via BOSH data, there's no quick workaround if you want to stick to using
dynamic networks, but we're aware of this current limitation.

Best,
Amit

Is it a bug of CF or Bosh ?

I have the same issue. It has to do with every release since bosh 248.
However, dynamic networks with older bosh releases + cf-231/cf-231 work.

This must be a bug.

Hi,guys

When deploy CF on top of OpenStack with dynamic network, the jobs failed

Error 100: Unable to render instance groups for deployment. Errors are:
- Unable to render jobs for instance group 'stats_z1'. Errors are:

- Unable to render templates for job 'metron_agent'. Errors are:

- Error filling in template 'syslog_forwarder.conf.erb' (line

Task 57 error

For a more detailed error report, run: bosh task 57 --debug
as the ip manged by OpenStack, bosh cannot get the actual ip address of
each vm until vm alive, this lead to the generated job spec doesn't contain
ip address infos
so, must i have to configure network type to manual?​
