The Searchlight project provides indexing and search capabilities across OpenStack resources. Its goal is to achieve high performance and flexible querying combined with near real-time indexing.

Use the following resources to learn more:

• Official Searchlight documentation *

Features

• Please see the searchlight-ui repository

Devstack Install

• See https://github.com/openstack/searchlight-ui/tree/master/devstack

Setup Local Dev Environment

Assumptions:

• horizon is installed or cloned into <basedir>/horizon/
• searchlight-ui is installed or cloned into <basedir>/searchlight-ui/
• current working directory is <basedir>/horizon/

1. Install environment.:

   #Locally cloned Horizon environment
   ./tools/with_venv.sh pip install -e ../searchlight-ui
   
   #Devstack environment
   pip install -e ../searchlight-ui

2. Copy <searchlight-ui>/searchlight_ui/enabled/_1001_project_search_panel.py to <horizon_dir>/openstack_dashboard/local/enabled/:

   cp -rv ../searchlight-ui/searchlight_ui/enabled/_1001_project_search_panel.py openstack_dashboard/local/enabled/

3. Set up the policy files. First copy the policy file <searchlight-ui>/searchlight_ui/conf/searchlight_policy.json into horizon's policy files <horizon_dir>/openstack_dashboard/conf/ folder. Then copy <searchlight-ui>/local_settings.d/_1001_search_settings.py to <horizon_dir>/local/local_settings.d/:

   cp ../searchlight-ui/searchlight_ui/conf/searchlight_policy.json openstack_dashboard/conf/
   
   cp ../searchlight-ui/searchlight_ui/local_settings.d/_1001_search_settings.py openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.d/

4. (If offline compression is enabled - typical in production and devstack). Django has a compressor feature that performs many enhancements for the delivery of static files. It can be enable or disabled (COMPRESS_ENABLED). In addition, offline compression may be enabled or disabled (COMPRESS_OFFLINE = True). If offline compression is enabled in your environment, you must run the following commands the first time you install searchlight-ui and anytime you make changes to it.:

   ./manage.py collectstatic
   ./manage.py compress

5. Restart your horizon services.:

   #Locally cloned Horizon environment (not under apache)
   ./run_tests.sh --runserver 0.0.0.0:8005 (use desired IP and port)
   
   #Devstack
   sudo service apache2 restart

Create and Install Local Package

Change working directory to <basedir>/searchlight-ui/

1. Package the searchlight_ui by running:

   python setup.py sdist

2. This will create a python egg in the dist folder, which can be used to install on the horizon machine or within horizon's python virtual environment (prepend wih ./tools/with_venv.sh):

   pip install dist/searchlight-ui-0.0.0.tar.gz (use appropriate version)
