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

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.

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"} "

rabbit_interval_max = 30

integer value

Maximum interval of RabbitMQ connection retries. Default is 30 seconds.

rabbit_login_method = AMQPLAIN

integer value

Specifies the number of messages to prefetch. Setting to zero allows unlimited messages.

rabbit_quorum_delivery_limit = 0

integer value

Each time a message is redelivered to a consumer, a counter is incremented. Once the redelivery count exceeds the delivery limit the message gets dropped or dead-lettered (if a DLX exchange has been configured) Used only when rabbit_quorum_queue is enabled, Default 0 which means dont set a limit.

rabbit_quorum_max_memory_bytes = 0

integer value

By default all messages are maintained in memory if a quorum queue grows in length it can put memory pressure on a cluster. This option can limit the number of memory bytes used by the quorum queue. Used only when rabbit_quorum_queue is enabled, Default 0 which means dont set a limit.

rabbit_quorum_max_memory_length = 0

integer value

By default all messages are maintained in memory if a quorum queue grows in length it can put memory pressure on a cluster. This option can limit the number of messages in the quorum queue. Used only when rabbit_quorum_queue is enabled, Default 0 which means dont set a limit.

rabbit_quorum_queue = False

boolean value

Use quorum queues in RabbitMQ (x-queue-type: quorum). The quorum queue is a modern queue type for RabbitMQ implementing a durable, replicated FIFO queue based on the Raft consensus algorithm. It is available as of RabbitMQ 3.8.0. If set this option will conflict with the HA queues (rabbit_ha_queues) aka mirrored queues, in other words the HA queues should be disabled, quorum queues durable by default so the amqp_durable_queues opion is ignored when this option enabled.

integer value

How long to backoff for between retries when connecting to RabbitMQ.

rabbit_retry_interval = 1

integer value

How frequently to retry connecting with RabbitMQ.

enforce_new_defaults = False

boolean value

This option controls whether or not to use old deprecated defaults when evaluating policies. If True, the old deprecated defaults are not going to be evaluated. This means if any existing token is allowed for old defaults but is disallowed for new defaults, it will be disallowed. It is encouraged to enable this flag along with the enforce_scope flag so that you can get the benefits of new defaults and scope_type together. If False, the deprecated policy check string is logically OR’d with the new policy check string, allowing for a graceful upgrade experience between releases with new policies, which is the default behavior.

enforce_scope = False

boolean value

This option controls whether or not to enforce scope when evaluating policies. If True, the scope of the token used in the request is compared to the scope_types of the policy being enforced. If the scopes do not match, an InvalidScope exception will be raised. If False, a message will be logged informing operators that policies are being invoked with mismatching scope.

policy_default_rule = default

string value

Default rule. Enforced when a requested rule is not found.

Default value is set to False.

Possible values:

  • True: Enable filter traces that contain error/exception.

hmac_keys = SECRET_KEY

string value

Secret key(s) to use for encrypting context data for performance profiling.

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.

trace_sqlalchemy = False

boolean value

Enable SQL requests profiling in services.

Default value is False (SQL requests won’t be traced).

Possible values:

  • True: Enables SQL requests profiling. Each SQL query will be part of the trace and can the be analyzed by how much time was spent for that.
  • 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.
