#### Toolkit for debugging Openstack

Set of tools to help debugging Openstack problems. There are two classes of tools; api and agent. Api tools are run against Openstack apis i.e. as a client and agent tools are run on the host running a particular agent.

NOTE: agent tools will not currently complete successfully when run in the snap since snapd interfaces do not yet support access required to complete checks. Then can however be run directly by executing manually e.g. /snap/openstack-toolkit/current/neutron/run.sh

**Install:**

`sudo snap install openstack-toolkit`

You might need to connect some interfaces depending on the tool being run. Check what's available with:

`snap interfaces openstack-toolkit`

**Usage Examples:**

Run the following to check your Octavia load balancers:

`openstack-toolkit.octavia --ensure-member-sg-rules`

Run the following to check your Neutron L3HA routers:

`openstack-toolkit.neutron --check-l3ha-router-status`

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install openstack-toolkit

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
