Migrate metric queries from libvirt to OpenStack

[WizardBit]

Example, the compute overview dashboard has the following for scheduled VMs.

sum by(project_name) (libvirt_domain_info_meta{juju_application=~"$juju_application",juju_model=~"$juju_model",juju_model_uuid=~"$juju_model_uuid",juju_unit=~"$juju_unit",project_name=~"$project"})

But, the cloud usage dashboard has the following for scheduled VMs.

sum(openstack_nova_running_vms{aggregates=~"$aggregate",juju_application=~"$juju_application",juju_model=~"$juju_model",juju_model_uuid=~"$juju_model_uuid",juju_unit=~"$juju_unit"})

The first does not work without the libvirt exporter, and the second does. Making these changes where possible is beneficial due to the prometheus libvirt exporter being deprecated.

Thanks for bringing this up — the reasoning makes sense. Here are a couple of my thoughts:

• To enable the replacement, we’ll need to review all the dashboards to fully understand the scope.

• Regarding the metrics: while the values may appear the same in your example, their meanings differ slightly. One is collected via the OpenStack API, while the other comes from the libvirt exporter (which gathers metrics directly from the hypervisor). In some edge cases — for example, if the OpenStack API fails — the results might not match.
