Chapter 5. ironic

The following chapter contains information about the configuration options in the ironic service.

5.1. ironic.conf

This section contains options for the /etc/ironic/ironic.conf file.

The following table outlines the options available under the [DEFAULT] group in the /etc/ironic/ironic.conf file.

.

Configuration option = Default valueTypeDescription

auth_strategy = keystone

Exponent to determine number of hash partitions to use when distributing load across conductors. Larger values will result in more even distribution of load and less load when rebalancing the ring, but more memory usage. Number of partitions per conductor is (2^hash_partition_exponent). This determines the granularity of rebalancing: given 10 hosts, and an exponent of the 2, there are 40 partitions in the ring.A few thousand partitions should make rebalancing smooth in most cases. The default is suitable for up to a few hundred conductors. Configuring for too many partitions has a negative impact on CPU usage.

For full details on the fields in the URL see the documentation of oslo_messaging.TransportURL at https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.messaging/latest/reference/transport.html

use-journal = False

boolean value

However, if you have a third-party service that consumes versioned notifications, it might be worth getting a topic for that service. Ironic will send a message containing a versioned notification payload to each topic queue in this list.

The list of versioned notifications is visible in https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/admin/notifications.html

watch-log-file = False

boolean value

Uses logging handler designed to watch file system. When log file is moved or removed this handler will open a new log file with specified path instantaneously. It makes sense only if log_file option is specified and Linux platform is used. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

If you’re using a versioned v2 endpoint here, then this should not be the same endpoint the service user utilizes for validating tokens, because normal end users may not be able to reach that endpoint. This option is deprecated in favor of www_authenticate_uri and will be removed in the S release.

Finally the name of a binding method that must be present in tokens.

(Optional) If defined, indicate whether token data should be authenticated or authenticated and encrypted. If MAC, token data is authenticated (with HMAC) in the cache.

boolean value

(Optional) Use the advanced (eventlet safe) memcached client pool. The advanced pool will only work under python 2.x.
