log_statsd_sample_rate_factor = 1.0 Not recommended to set this to a value less than 1.0, if frequency of logging is too high, tune the log_statsd_default_sample_rate instead.

access_log_address = /dev/log Location where syslog sends the logs to. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without "access\_" will be used.
access_log_facility = LOG_LOCAL0 Syslog facility to receive log lines. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without "access\_" will be used.
access_log_headers = false Header to receive log lines. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without "access\_" will be used.
access_log_headers_only = If access_log_headers is True and access_log_headers_only is set only these headers are logged. Multiple headers can be defined as comma separated list like this: access_log_headers_only = Host, X-Object-Meta-Mtime
access_log_level = INFO Syslog logging level to receive log lines. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without "access\_" will be used.
access_log_name = swift Label used when logging. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without "access\_" will be used.
access_log_statsd_default_sample_rate = 1.0 Defines the probability of sending a sample for any given event or timing measurement. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without "access\_" will be used.
access_log_statsd_host = localhost You can use log_statsd_* from [DEFAULT], or override them here. StatsD server. IPv4/IPv6 addresses and hostnames are supported. If a hostname resolves to an IPv4 and IPv6 address, the IPv4 address will be used.
access_log_statsd_metric_prefix = Value will be prepended to every metric sent to the StatsD server. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without "access\_" will be used.
access_log_statsd_port = 8125 Port value for the StatsD server. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without "access\_" will be used.
access_log_statsd_sample_rate_factor = 1.0 Not recommended to set this to a value less than 1.0, if frequency of logging is too high, tune the log_statsd_default_sample_rate instead. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without "access\_" will be used.

log_statsd_valid_http_methods = GET,HEAD,POST,PUT,DELETE,COPY,OPTIONS What HTTP methods are allowed for StatsD logging (comma-sep). request methods not in this list will have "BAD_METHOD" for the <verb> portion of the metric.
reveal_sensitive_prefix = 16 By default, the X-Auth-Token is logged. To obscure the value, set reveal_sensitive_prefix to the number of characters to log. For example, if set to 12, only the first 12 characters of the token appear in the log. An unauthorized access of the log file won't allow unauthorized usage of the token. However, the first 12 or so characters is unique enough that you can trace/debug token usage. Set to 0 to suppress the token completely (replaced by '...' in the log). .. note:: reveal_sensitive_prefix will not affect the value logged with access_log_headers=True.
use = egg:swift#proxy_logging Entry point of paste.deploy in the server
Table 10.16.  Description of configuration options for [object-expirer] in object-expirer.conf
Configuration option = Default valueDescription
auto_create_account_prefix = . Prefix to use when automatically creating accounts
concurrency = 1 Number of replication workers to spawn
expiring_objects_account_name = expiring_objects Account name for expiring objects.
interval = 300 Minimum time for a pass to take
process = 0 (it will actually accept(2) N + 1). Setting this to one (1) will only handle one request at a time, without accepting another request concurrently.
processes = 0 for each port (disk) in the ring. If you have 24 disks per server, and this setting is 4, then each storage node will have 1 + (24 * 4) = 97 total object-server processes running. This gives complete I/O isolation, drastically reducing the impact of slow disks on storage node performance. The object-replicator and object-reconstructor need to see this setting too, so it must be in the [DEFAULT] section.
reclaim_age = 604800 Time elapsed in seconds before an object can be reclaimed
recon_cache_path = /var/cache/swift Directory where stats for a few items will be stored
report_interval = 300 Interval in seconds between reports.
