This plugin enables using Monasca resources in a Heat template.

Below steps provides the detail on how to setup a demo environment by using monasca-vagrant and standalone heat.

Monasca provides the monasca-vagrant installer to setup a devstack with monasca server at the below url:

https://github.com/stackforge/monasca-vagrant

Here devstack will be created without heat service. so either upgrade this devstack with heat service or follow the below step to install heat in standalone mode.

At the end of installation, devstack will be running on 192.168.10.5 and monasca server will be running on 192.168.10.4.

NOTE: Please update the user to mini-mon instead of monasca-agent in /etc/monasca/agent/agent.yaml, if libvirt moinitoring is failed.

Create a vm with ubuntu 14.04 on the same virtual box where monasca-vagrant is created and assign the IP 192.168.10.10. Then follow the below guidelines to install heat in standalone mode, by using 192.168.10.5 devstack as remote cloud.

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/getting_started/standalone.html

Once the heat is installed, below environment variables would help to run heat and moasca commands.

``export OS_TENANT_NAME=mini-mon

export OS_PROJECT_NAME=mini-mon

export HEAT_URL=http://192.168.10.10:8004/v1/

export OS_USERNAME=mini-mon

export OS_PASSWORD=password

export OS_AUTH_URL=http://192.168.10.5:35357/v2.0``

NOTE: Update /etc/heat/heat.conf plugin_dirs to include the default directory /usr/lib/heat.

To install the plugin, from this directory run: sudo python ./setup.py install

Only the process "heat-engine" needs to be restarted to load the newly installed plugin.

After heat-engine is started, verify the availability of monasca resource plugin by running heat resource-type-list

heat stack-create -f template/cirros-scale-up.yaml cirros-1

It will create cirros instance initially with 2 no.s then once the occurance of the alarm, one more instance will be added.
