# heat-engine(1)

Service which performs the actions from the API calls made by the user

## NAME

heat-engine - Service which performs the actions from the API calls made by the user

## SYNOPSIS

**heat-engine \[options\]**

## DESCRIPTION

heat-engine is the heat project server with an internal RPC api called by the heat-api server.

## INVENTORY

The heat-engine does all the orchestration work and is the layer in which the resource integration is implemented.

## OPTIONS

- **--config-file**

  Path to a config file to use. Multiple config files can be specified, with values in later files taking precedence.

- **--config-dir**

  Path to a config directory to pull .conf files from. This file set is sorted, so as to provide a predictable parse order if individual options are over-ridden. The set is parsed after the file(s), if any, specified via --config-file, hence over-ridden options in the directory take precedence.

- **--version**

  Show program's version number and exit. The output could be empty if the distribution didn't specify any version information.

## FILES

- •

  /etc/heat/heat.conf
