+* Pass your openstack deployment credentials to the MON container:

+      ::
+
+          lxc exec MON -- export OS_AUTH_URL=<AUTH_URL>

 * The Gnocchi and Aodh plugins work from a common KafkaConsumer that checks for
   the appropriate topics and keys. To run this consumer:
 
       ::
 
-          lxc exec MON - python /root/MON/osm_mon/core/message_bus/common_consumer
+          lxc exec MON -- nohup python /root/MON/osm_mon/core/message_bus/common_consumer.py > /root/MON_plugins.log 2>&1 &
 
 * To enable Aodh alarm notifications to be sent to SO:
 
       ::
 
-          lxc exec MON - python /root/MON/osm_mon/plugins/OpenStack/Aodh/notifier.py
+          lxc exec MON - nohup python /root/MON/osm_mon/plugins/OpenStack/Aodh/notifier.py &
