This merges advanced configuration and inventory, from the
operations guide into the reference guide. This avoids
duplications of the documentation accross the guides.

Configuring the inventory
conf.d
Common OpenStack services and their configuration are defined by
OpenStack-Ansible in the
/etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml settings
file.
Additional services should be defined with a YAML file in
/etc/openstack_deploy/conf.d, in order to manage file
size.
env.d
The /etc/openstack_deploy/env.d directory sources all
YAML files into the deployed environment, allowing a deployer to define
additional group mappings.
This directory is used to extend the environment skeleton, or modify
the defaults defined in the inventory/env.d directory.
Configuration constraints
Group memberships
When adding groups, keep the following in mind:
- A group can contain hosts
- A group can contain child groups
However, groups cannot contain child groups and hosts.
The lxc_hosts Group
When the dynamic inventory script creates a container name, the host
on which the container resides is added to the lxc_hosts
inventory group.
Using this name for a group in the configuration will result in a runtime error.
Checking inventory configuration for errors
Using the --check flag when running
dynamic_inventory.py will run the inventory build process
and look for known errors, but not write any files to disk.
If any groups defined in the openstack_user_config.yml
or conf.d files are not found in the environment, a warning
will be raised.
This check does not do YAML syntax validation, though it will fail if there are unparseable errors.
Writing debug logs
The --debug/-d parameter allows writing of a detailed
log file for debugging the inventory script's behavior. The output is
written to inventory.log in the current working
directory.
The inventory.log file is appended to, not
overwritten.
Like --check, this flag is not invoked when running from
ansible.
