Chapter 4. heat

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

4.1. heat.conf

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

4.1.1. DEFAULT

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

.

Configuration option = Default valueTypeDescription

action_retry_limit = 5

integer value

Number of times to retry to bring a resource to a non-error state. Set to 0 to disable retries.

allow_trusts_redelegation = False

boolean value

Create trusts with redelegation enabled. This option is only used when reauthentication_auth_method is set to "trusts". Note that enabling this option does have security implications as all trusts created by Heat will use both impersonation and redelegation enabled. Enable it only when there are other services that need to create trusts from tokens Heat uses to access them, examples are Aodh and Heat in another region when configured to use trusts too.

auth_encryption_key = notgood but just long enough i t

string value

Key used to encrypt authentication info in the database. Length of this key must be 32 characters.

backdoor_port = None

string value

Enable eventlet backdoor. Acceptable values are 0, <port>, and <start>:<end>, where 0 results in listening on a random tcp port number; <port> results in listening on the specified port number (and not enabling backdoor if that port is in use); and <start>:<end> results in listening on the smallest unused port number within the specified range of port numbers. The chosen port is displayed in the service’s log file.

backdoor_socket = None

string value

Enable eventlet backdoor, using the provided path as a unix socket that can receive connections. This option is mutually exclusive with backdoor_port in that only one should be provided. If both are provided then the existence of this option overrides the usage of that option. Inside the path {pid} will be replaced with the PID of the current process.

boolean value

Try to use HA queues in RabbitMQ (x-ha-policy: all). If you change this option, you must wipe the RabbitMQ database. In RabbitMQ 3.0, queue mirroring is no longer controlled by the x-ha-policy argument when declaring a queue. If you just want to make sure that all queues (except those with auto-generated names) are mirrored across all nodes, run: "rabbitmqctl set_policy HA ^(?!amq\.).* {"ha-mode": "all"} "

  • mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017 - use mongodb driver for sending spans.
  • elasticsearch://127.0.0.1:9200 - use elasticsearch driver for sending spans.
  • jaeger://127.0.0.1:6831 - use jaeger tracing as driver for sending spans.

This string value should have the following format: <key1>[,<key2>,…​<keyn>], where each key is some random string. A user who triggers the profiling via the REST API has to set one of these keys in the headers of the REST API call to include profiling results of this node for this particular project.

Both "enabled" flag and "hmac_keys" config options should be set to enable profiling. Also, to generate correct profiling information across all services at least one key needs to be consistent between OpenStack projects. This ensures it can be used from client side to generate the trace, containing information from all possible resources.

  • False: Disables SQL requests profiling. The spent time is only shown on a higher level of operations. Single SQL queries cannot be analyzed this way.
