Notifications
=============
Notifications can be generated for several events in the image lifecycle.
These can be used for auditing, troubleshooting, etc.
Strategies
----------
* logging
This strategy uses the standard Python logging infrastructure with
the notifications ending up in file specificed by the log_file
configuration directive.
* rabbit
This strategy sends notifications to a rabbitmq queue. This can then
be processed by other services or applications.
* qpid
This strategy is similar to rabbit. It sends notifications to an AMQP
message queue via Qpid.
* noop
This strategy produces no notifications. It is the default strategy.
Notification Types
------------------
* ``image.create``
Emitted when an image record is created in Glance. Image record creation is
independent of image data upload.
* ``image.prepare``
Emitted when Glance begins uploading image data to its store.
* ``image.upload``
Emitted when Glance has completed the upload of image data to its store.
* ``image.activate``
Emitted when an image goes to `active` status. This occurs when Glance
knows where the image data is located.
* ``image.send``
Emitted upon completion of an image being sent to a consumer.
* ``image.update``
Emitted when an image record is updated in Glance.
* ``image.delete``
Emitted when an image deleted from Glance.
* ``task.run``
Emitted when a task is picked up by the executor to be run.
* ``task.processing``
Emitted when a task is sent over to the executor to begin processing.
* ``task.success``
Emitted when a task is successfully completed.
* ``task.failure``
Emitted when a task fails.
