Currently, the os_compute_api:servers:show:host_status controls whether a user can view the host status of a server including UP, DOWN, MAINTENANCE, and UNKNOWN. When communication with nova-compute is experiencing problems, users can get a hint about it from the server host status, if enabled by policy. However, not all operators may want to expose all possible host statuses to end users and instead would prefer to expose only the UNKNOWN host status. This adds a new policy rule: os_compute_api:servers:show:host_status:unknown-only which controls whether a user can view the host status of UNKNOWN only. This way, operators can allow users to get a hint about what to expect when using their server without exposing too much information about the underlying cloud details.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
