add-resource-timestamp
==========================================
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/Neutron/+spec/add-port-timestamp
Resource models like network, subnet and port in Neutron should include
timestamp fields "created_at" and "updated_at". These two fields can
facilitate the task of monitoring resource changes, which are time-consuming
and inefficient currently.
Problem Description
===================
End users may be interested in monitoring Neutron resources or collecting
statistics on a group of resources in a specific time-frame, for instance,
querying ports that have changed or refreshed in the last 5 seconds in a
large scale application. In Neutron, we do not have timestamp fields
associated with resources, so there is no way we can query them based on
their operational time.
Proposed Change
===============
We propose to add created_at and updated_at fields to resource models. In the
sqlalchemy model definition, "default" argument is set to timeutils.utcnow()
for created_at and updated_at, so when a resource is created, sqlalchemy will
automatically fill these two fields with the timestamp the resource is created;
"onupdate" argument is also set to timeutils.utcnow() for updated_at so when a
resource is updated, updated_at will be refreshed. All the timestamp field
operations are finished in the database side, so there is no extra work needed
in the plugin side.
Based on these two fields, change_since filter is introduced for retrieving
resources. It accepts a timestamp and Neutron will return resources with
updated_at field later than this timestamp.
Data Model Impact
-----------------
Two new attributes are added to resource model:
+----------------+----------+--------------------+----------+------+-------------------------------+
| Attribute name | Type | Default Value | Required | CRUD | Description |
+----------------+----------+--------------------+----------+------+-------------------------------+
| created_at | DateTime | timeutils.utcnow() | Y | R | Timestamp resource is created |
| updated_at | DateTime | timeutils.utcnow() | Y | R | Timestamp resource is updated |
+----------------+----------+--------------------+----------+------+-------------------------------+
As discussed above, these two fields are maintained by sqlalchemy in Neutron
server. It's not necessary for users to pass these two values when creating or
updating resource, so only Read operation in CRUD is provided.
REST API Impact
---------------
Created_at and updated_at will be returned when users issue resource retrieving
requests.
Resources list API will accept new query string parameter change_since. Users
can pass timestamp of ISO 8601 format to the list API uri to retrieve resources
operated since a specific time.
Take port as an example, the request uri looks like this:
.. code::
GET /v2.0/ports?change_since=2015-07-31T00:00:00
and response:
.. code::
{
"ports": [
{
"status": "ACTIVE",
"name": "",
"allowed_address_pairs": [],
"admin_state_up": true,
"network_id": "70c1db1f-b701-45bd-96e0-a313ee3430b3",
"tenant_id": "",
"extra_dhcp_opts": [],
"device_owner": "network:router_gateway",
"mac_address": "fa:16:3e:58:42:ed",
"fixed_ips": [
{
"subnet_id": "008ba151-0b8c-4a67-98b5-0d2b87666062",
"ip_address": "172.24.4.2"
}
],
"id": "d80b1a3b-4fc1-49f3-952e-1e2ab7081d8b",
"security_groups": [],
"device_id": "9ae135f4-b6e0-4dad-9e91-3c223e385824"
"created_at": 2015-07-31T11:50:05
"updated_at": 2015-07-31T11:51:12
}
]
}
Security Impact
---------------
None
Notifications Impact
--------------------
None
Other End User Impact
---------------------
Neutron python client may add help to inform users the new filter. Neutron
python client supports dynamic assigning search fields so it is easy for it to
support this new filter. Also Neutron python client needs to add the two new
fields when displaying resource information.
Performance Impact
------------------
Performance of syncing resource status with other systems like a monitor system
or a user interface can be improved. Instead of retrieving all the resources in
every syncing period to update resource status, these systems can just retrieve
resources updated during the syncing interval using change_since filter.
IPv6 Impact
-----------
None
Other Deployer Impact
---------------------
NTP service needs to be configured and started to synchronize time among nodes,
so the timestamps saved in created_at and updated_at are valid across nodes.
Developer Impact
----------------
None
Community Impact
----------------
This change will bring facility to monitor Neutron resources. Actually most
projects in OpenStack like `Nova`_, `Cinder`_ have timestamp fields to track
the operation time of resources.
One problem of absolute timestamp is that sudden system time change caused by
attack or failure will make the previous cached timestamp invalid. Seeking a
relative timestamp storing strategy may be a better choice, but it's out of
the extent of this blueprint.

====================================
Example Spec - The title of your RFE
====================================
Include the URL of your launchpad RFE:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/example-id
Introduction paragraph -- why are we doing this feature? A single paragraph of
prose that **deployers, and developers, and operators** can understand.
Do you even need to file a spec? Most features can be done by filing an RFE bug
and moving on with life. In most cases, filing an RFE and documenting your
design in the devref folder of neutron docs is sufficient. If the feature
seems very large or contentious, then the drivers team may request a spec, or
you can always file one if desired.
Problem Description
===================
A detailed description of the problem:
* For a new feature this should be a list of use cases. Ensure that you are clear
about the actors in each use case: End User vs Deployer. Ensure that you identify
which area of the core is being affected; for something completely new, it
should be clear why you are considering it being part of the core.
* For a major reworking of something existing it would describe the
problems in that feature that are being addressed.
Note that the RFE filed for this feature will have a description already. This
section is not meant to simply duplicate that; you can simply refer to that
description if it is sufficient, and use this space to capture changes to
the description based on bug comments or feedback on the spec.
Proposed Change
===============
How do you propose to solve this problem?
This section is optional, and provides an area to discuss your high-level
design at the same time as use cases, if desired. Note that by high-level,
we mean the "view from orbit" rough cut at how things will happen.
This section should 'scope' the effort from a feature standpoint: how is the
'neutron end-to-end system' going to look like after this change? What Neutron
areas do you intend to touch and how do you intend to work on them? The list
below is not meant to be a template to fill in, but rather a jumpstart on the
sorts of areas to consider in your proposed change description.
* Am I going to see new CLI commands?
* How do you intend to support or affect aspects like:
* Address Management, e.g. IPv6, DHCP
* Routing, e.g. DVR/HA
* Plugins, ML2 Drivers, e.g. OVS, LinuxBridge
* Agents, e.g. metadata
* High level services
* Scheduling, quota, and policy management, e.g. admin vs user rights
* API and extensions
* Clients
* Impact on services or out-of-tree plugins/drivers
* What do you intend to not support in the initial release?
You do not need to detail API or data model changes. Details at that level of
granularity belong in the neutron devref docs.
References
==========
Please add any useful references here. You are not required to have any
reference. Moreover, this specification should still make sense when your
references are unavailable.
