profiler

enabled
Type:boolean
Default:false

Enable the profiling for all services on this node.

Deprecated Variations
Group Name
profiler profiler_enabled
trace_sqlalchemy
Type:boolean
Default:false

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.
hmac_keys
Type:string
Default:SECRET_KEY

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.

Options

senlin.common.config.list_opts()

Return a list of oslo.config options available.

The purpose of this function is to allow tools like the Oslo sample config file generator to discover the options exposed to users by this service. The returned list includes all oslo.config options which may be registered at runtime by the service api/engine.

Each element of the list is a tuple. The first element is the name of the group under which the list of elements in the second element will be registered. A group name of None corresponds to the [DEFAULT] group in config files.

This function is also discoverable via the ‘senlin.config’ entry point under the ‘oslo.config.opts’ namespace.

Returns:a list of (group_name, opts) tuples
