Alistair Coles 72786533ea Move config option documentation to separate docs
This patch moves the tables describing configuration options for each
server type from the deployment_guide.rst doc to separate per-server
documents.  The new per-server documents are grouped under a config
directory with a config index doc. The config index doc is listed in
the top level index and provides a single starting point to navigate
to the individual server docs.

Container Server Configuration
------------------------------
This document describes the configuration options available for the container
server. Documentation for other swift configuration options can be found at
:doc:`index`.
An example Container Server configuration can be found at
etc/container-server.conf-sample in the source code repository.
The following configuration sections are available:
* :ref:`[DEFAULT] <container_server_default_options>`
* `[container-server]`_
* `[container-replicator]`_
* `[container-updater]`_
* `[container-auditor]`_

=============================== ========== ============================================
Option Default Description
------------------------------- ---------- --------------------------------------------
swift_dir /etc/swift Swift configuration directory
devices /srv/node Parent directory of where devices are mounted
mount_check true Whether or not check if the devices are
mounted to prevent accidentally writing
to the root device
bind_ip 0.0.0.0 IP Address for server to bind to
bind_port 6201 Port for server to bind to
keep_idle 600 Value to set for socket TCP_KEEPIDLE
bind_timeout 30 Seconds to attempt bind before giving up
backlog 4096 Maximum number of allowed pending
connections
workers auto Override the number of pre-forked workers
that will accept connections. If set it
should be an integer, zero means no fork. If
unset, it will try to default to the number
of effective cpu cores and fallback to one.
Increasing the number of workers may reduce
the possibility of slow file system
operations in one request from negatively
impacting other requests. See
:ref:`general-service-tuning`.
max_clients 1024 Maximum number of clients one worker can
process simultaneously (it will actually
accept(2) N + 1). Setting this to one (1)
will only handle one request at a time,
without accepting another request
concurrently.
user swift User to run as
disable_fallocate false Disable "fast fail" fallocate checks if the
underlying filesystem does not support it.
log_name swift Label used when logging
log_facility LOG_LOCAL0 Syslog log facility
log_level INFO Logging level
log_address /dev/log Logging directory
log_max_line_length 0 Caps the length of log lines to the
value given; no limit if set to 0, the
default.
log_custom_handlers None Comma-separated list of functions to call
to setup custom log handlers.
log_udp_host Override log_address
log_udp_port 514 UDP log port
log_statsd_host None Enables StatsD logging; IPv4/IPv6
address or a hostname. If a
hostname resolves to an IPv4 and IPv6
address, the IPv4 address will be
used.
log_statsd_port 8125
log_statsd_default_sample_rate 1.0
log_statsd_sample_rate_factor 1.0
log_statsd_metric_prefix
eventlet_debug false If true, turn on debug logging for eventlet
fallocate_reserve 1% You can set fallocate_reserve to the
number of bytes or percentage of disk
space you'd like fallocate to reserve,
whether there is space for the given
file size or not. Percentage will be used
if the value ends with a '%'. This is
useful for systems that behave badly when
they completely run out of space; you can
make the services pretend they're out of
space early.
db_preallocation off If you don't mind the extra disk space usage
in overhead, you can turn this on to preallocate
disk space with SQLite databases to decrease
fragmentation.
nice_priority None Scheduling priority of server processes.
Niceness values range from -20 (most
favorable to the process) to 19 (least
favorable to the process). The default
does not modify priority.
ionice_class None I/O scheduling class of server processes.
I/O niceness class values are IOPRIO_CLASS_RT
(realtime), IOPRIO_CLASS_BE (best-effort),
and IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE (idle).
The default does not modify class and
priority. Linux supports io scheduling
priorities and classes since 2.6.13
with the CFQ io scheduler.
Work only with ionice_priority.
ionice_priority None I/O scheduling priority of server processes.
I/O niceness priority is a number which
goes from 0 to 7. The higher the value,
the lower the I/O priority of the process.
Work only with ionice_class.
Ignored if IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE is set.

should be ``egg:swift#container``.

replication_server Configure parameter for creating
specific server. To handle all verbs,
including replication verbs, do not
specify "replication_server"
(this is the default). To only
handle replication, set to a True
value (e.g. "True" or "1").
To handle only non-replication
verbs, set to "False". Unless you
have a separate replication network, you
should not specify any value for
"replication_server".

Option Default Description
-------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------
log_name container-replicator Label used when logging
log_facility LOG_LOCAL0 Syslog log facility
log_level INFO Logging level
log_address /dev/log Logging directory
per_diff 1000 Maximum number of database
rows that will be sync'd in a
single HTTP replication
request. Databases with less
than or equal to this number
of differing rows will always
be sync'd using an HTTP
replication request rather
than using rsync.
max_diffs 100 Maximum number of HTTP
replication requests attempted
on each replication pass for
any one container. This caps
how long the replicator will
spend trying to sync a given
database per pass so the other
databases don't get starved.
concurrency 8 Number of replication workers
to spawn
interval 30 Time in seconds to wait
between replication passes
databases_per_second 50 Maximum databases to process
per second. Should be tuned
according to individual
system specs. 0 is unlimited.

services
conn_timeout 0.5 Connection timeout to external
services
reclaim_age 604800 Time elapsed in seconds before
a container can be reclaimed
rsync_module {replication_ip}::container Format of the rsync module
where the replicator will send
data. The configuration value
can include some variables
that will be extracted from
the ring. Variables must
follow the format {NAME} where
NAME is one of: ip, port,
replication_ip,
replication_port, region,
zone, device, meta. See
etc/rsyncd.conf-sample for
some examples.
rsync_compress no Allow rsync to compress data
which is transmitted to
destination node during sync.
However, this is applicable
only when destination node is
in a different region than the
local one. NOTE: Objects that
are already compressed (for
example: .tar.gz, mp3) might
slow down the syncing process.
