Currently puppet-horizon has implementations to allow more flexible customization of specific dashboars(heat, octavia and manila) while it provides the basic one to only install plugin packages. This change adds a warning message to let users aware of the new classes which provides more complete support for dashboard parameters. Change-Id: I1baa3f166ef895bfb55302f144b696a9ace293cc

Overview
The horizon module is a part of OpenStack, an effort by the OpenStack infrastructure team to provide continuous integration testing and code review for OpenStack and OpenStack community projects as part of the core software. The module its self is used to flexibly configure and manage the dashboard service for OpenStack.
Module Description
The horizon module is a thorough attempt to make Puppet capable of managing the entirety of horizon. Horizon is a fairly classic django application, which results in a fairly simply Puppet module.
This module is tested in combination with other modules needed to build and leverage an entire OpenStack software stack.
Setup
What the horizon module affects
- Horizon, the dashboard service for OpenStack.
Installing horizon
puppet module install openstack/horizon
Beginning with horizon
To utilize the horizon module's functionality you will need to declare multiple resources but you'll find that doing so is much less complicated than the other OpenStack component modules. We recommend you consult and understand the core openstack documentation.
Define a horizon dashboard
class { 'memcached':
listen_ip => '127.0.0.1',
tcp_port => '11211',
udp_port => '11211',
}
class { 'horizon':
cache_server_ip => '127.0.0.1',
cache_server_port => '11211',
secret_key => '12345',
django_debug => 'True',
api_result_limit => '2000',
}
Implementation
horizon
Horizon is a simple module using the combination of a package, template, and the file_line type. Most all the configuration lives inside the included local_settings template and the file_line type is for selectively inserting needed lines into configuration files that aren't explicitly managed by the horizon module.
Limitations
- Only supports Apache using mod_wsgi.
Development
