Enabling Searchlight in Devstack

  1. Download DevStack (git clone)
  2. Update local.conf

You may follow the customization instructions below or use the example local.conf.

  1. Run stack.sh

Note

This installs a headless JRE. If you are working on a desktop based OS (such as Ubuntu 14.04), this may cause tools like pycharms to no longer launch. You can switch between JREs and back: to a headed JRE version using: "sudo update-alternatives --config java".

Full example local.conf

The example local.conf MAY not be up to date with the rest of devstack.

local.conf <local.conf>

Note

You will need to look through the settings and potentially customize it to your environment, especially HOST_IP.

Existing local.conf customization

  1. Add this repo as an external repository:

    > cat local.conf
[[local|localrc]]
enable_plugin searchlight https://github.com/openstack/searchlight
enable_service searchlight-api
enable_service searchlight-listener

  2. Configure desired searchlight plugins

The search service is driven using a plugin mechanism for integrating to other services. Each integrated service may need to be specifically enabled in devstack and may require additional configuration settings to work with searchlight. For example, you typically will need to set the notifications driver in each service's configuration.

Please review the plugin documentation and add configuration appropriately:

  1. Customize searchlight configuration

Searchlight documentation talks about settings in searchlight.conf. To customize searchlight.conf settings, add them under the following section in local.conf:

[[post-config|$SEARCHLIGHT_CONF]]
