3.5. Running As A WSGI Application

You can run Gnocchi through a WSGI service such as mod_wsgi or any other WSGI application. You can use the gnocchi/rest/app.wsgi file, which is provided with Gnocchi, to enable Gnocchi as a WSGI application.

The Gnocchi API tier runs using WSGI. This means it can be run using Apache httpd and mod_wsgi, or another HTTP daemon such as uwsgi. Configure the number of processes and threads according to the number of CPUs you have, usually around 1.5 × number of CPUs. If one server is not enough, you can spawn any number of new API servers to scale Gnocchi out, even on different machines.
