Skydive in Kolla
================

Overview
========
Skydive is an open source real-time network topology and protocols analyzer.
It aims to provide a comprehensive way of understanding what is happening in
the network infrastructure.
Skydive agents collect topology information and flows and forward them to a
central agent for further analysis.
All the information is stored in an Elasticsearch database.

Configuration on Kolla deployment
---------------------------------

Enable Skydive in ``/etc/kolla/globals.yml``

.. code-block:: console

    enable_skydive: "yes"
    enable_elasticsearch: "yes"

Verify operation
----------------

After successful deployment, Skydive can be accessed using a browser on
``<kolla_external_vip_address>:8085``.

The default username is ``admin``, the password can be located under
``<keystone_admin_password>`` in ``/etc/kolla/passwords.yml``.
