Description Aaron Thomas 2015-02-27 15:48:11 UTC

Description of problem:
-----------------------------------------
The customer is configuring a Load Balancer in front of the OpenStack APIs. They have expressed interest in a consistent URL answered by the python process that they could use for the basic health check.

-----------------------------------------
RFE: add "/" version information to the Object Storage and Telemetry APIs

Description	
-----------------------------------------
We are putting a Load Balancer in front of the OpenStack APIs.   As such it would be extremely useful to have a consistent URL which is being answered by the python process that we could use for the basic health check.

Most of the REST APIs provide unauthenticated version information on the "/" URL.   The Ceilometer and Swift APIs currently don't provide such an interface and we would like to request that it be added.

Setting it for OSP10 target.

Comment 8 Julien Danjou 2016-06-08 13:22:08 UTC

Mark, what about using the healthcheck middleware?

Comment 9 Mark Chappell 2016-06-08 13:24:02 UTC

Looks perfect, it'd be really good if that was set up in the default configuration.

Comment 10 Julien Danjou 2016-06-08 13:27:23 UTC

I'm taking the point of adding that by default in the telemetry stack then. :)

Comment 11 Irina Petrova 2016-07-25 11:15:28 UTC

How's it going, Julien? Any luck so far? :}

Best,
Irina

Comment 12 Julien Danjou 2016-07-25 12:02:03 UTC

Irina, this is still in our backlog, and I think it should be fixed in the coming month upstream. So it should be ok with OSP 10. Fingers crossed.

Comment 14 Julien Danjou 2016-10-03 11:45:10 UTC

Hi Irina,

No, this actually slipped and is not enabled by default in Telemetry projects (yet) and is still on our backlog. :(

Cheers,

jd

Comment 15 Irina Petrova 2016-10-03 13:12:12 UTC

I see Julien. 

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Best,
Irina

Comment 16 Julien Danjou 2016-12-09 14:18:55 UTC

I've started to send patches to a oslo.middleware and Gnocchi.

Comment 17 Julien Danjou 2017-01-18 18:01:30 UTC

All the patche have been merged and this should be available in OSP11 for Aodh and Gnocchi. Ceilometer API being deprecated, it does not have this feature.

Can you add in the fixed in version field for these patches?
