proxy-server.conf(5)

This is indicated by section named [DEFAULT]. Below are the parameters that are acceptable within this section.

bind_ip

IP address the proxy server should bind to. The default is 0.0.0.0 which will make it bind to all available addresses.

bind_port

TCP port the proxy server should bind to. The default is 80.

keep_idle

Value to set for socket TCP_KEEPIDLE. The default value is 600.

bind_timeout

Timeout to bind socket. The default is 30.

backlog

TCP backlog. Maximum number of allowed pending connections. The default value is 4096.

admin_key

Key to use for admin calls that are HMAC signed. Default is empty, which will disable admin calls to /info.

disallowed_sections

Allows the ability to withhold sections from showing up in the public calls to /info. You can withhold subsections by separating the dict level with a ".". The following would cause the sections 'container_quotas' and 'tempurl' to not be listed, and the key max_failed_deletes would be removed from bulk_delete. Default value is 'swift.valid_api_versions' which allows all registered features to be listed via HTTP GET /info except swift.valid_api_versions information

workers

The number of pre-forked processes that will accept connections. Zero means no fork. The default is auto which will make the server try to match the number of effective cpu cores if python multiprocessing is available (included with most python distributions >= 2.6) or fallback to one. It's worth noting that individual workers will use many eventlet co-routines to service multiple concurrent requests.

max_clients

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. The default is 1024.

user

The system user that the proxy server will run as. The default is swift.

expose_info

Enables exposing configuration settings via HTTP GET /info. The default is true.

swift_dir

Swift configuration directory. The default is /etc/swift.

cert_file

Location of the SSL certificate file. The default path is /etc/swift/proxy.crt. This is disabled by default.

key_file

Location of the SSL certificate key file. The default path is /etc/swift/proxy.key. This is disabled by default.

log_name

Label used when logging. The default is swift.

log_facility

Syslog log facility. The default is LOG_LOCAL0.

log_level

Logging level. The default is INFO.

log_address

Logging address. The default is /dev/log.

log_headers

The default is false.

log_custom_handlers

Comma separated list of functions to call to setup custom log handlers. functions get passed: conf, name, log_to_console, log_route, fmt, logger, adapted_logger. The default is empty.

log_udp_host

If set, log_udp_host will override log_address.

log_udp_port

UDP log port, the default is 514.

log_statsd_host

StatsD server. IPv4/IPv6 addresses and hostnames are supported. If a hostname resolves to an IPv4 and IPv6 address, the IPv4 address will be used.

log_statsd_port

The default is 8125.

log_statsd_default_sample_rate

The default is 1.

log_statsd_sample_rate_factor

The default is 1.

log_statsd_metric_prefix

The default is empty.

client_timeout

Time to wait while receiving each chunk of data from a client or another backend node. The default is 60.

eventlet_debug

Debug mode for eventlet library. The default is false.

trans_id_suffix

This optional suffix (default is empty) that would be appended to the swift transaction id allows one to easily figure out from which cluster that X-Trans-Id belongs to. This is very useful when one is managing more than one swift cluster.

cors_allow_origin

List of origin hosts that are allowed for CORS requests in addition to what the container has set. Use a comma separated list of full URL (http://foo.bar:1234,https://foo.bar)

strict_cors_mode

If True (default) then CORS requests are only allowed if their Origin header matches an allowed origin. Otherwise, any Origin is allowed.

cors_expose_headers

Comma separated list of headers to expose through Access-Control-Expose-Headers, in addition to the defaults and any headers set in container metadata.

nice_priority

Modify 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

Modify 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. Work only with ionice_priority.

ionice_priority

Modify 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.

This is indicated by section name [pipeline:main]. Below are the parameters that are acceptable within this section.

pipeline

It is used when you need apply a number of filters. It is a list of filters ended by an application. The normal pipeline is "catch_errors gatekeeper healthcheck proxy-logging cache container_sync bulk tempurl ratelimit tempauth container-quotas account-quotas slo dlo versioned_writes proxy-logging proxy-server".

Note: The double proxy-logging in the pipeline is not a mistake. The left-most proxy-logging is there to log requests that were handled in middleware and never made it through to the right-most middleware (and proxy server). Double logging is prevented for normal requests. See proxy-logging docs.

Any section that has its name prefixed by "filter:" indicates a filter section. Filters are used to specify configuration parameters for specific swift middlewares. Below are the filters available and respective acceptable parameters.

[filter:healthcheck]

use

Entry point for paste.deploy for the healthcheck middleware. This is the reference to the installed python egg. This is normally egg:swift#healthcheck.

disable_path

An optional filesystem path which, if present, will cause the healthcheck URL to return "503 Service Unavailable" with a body of "DISABLED BY FILE".

[filter:tempauth]

use

Entry point for paste.deploy for the tempauth middleware. This is the reference to the installed python egg. This is normally egg:swift#tempauth.

set log_name

Label used when logging. The default is tempauth.

set log_facility

Syslog log facility. The default is LOG_LOCAL0.

set log_level

Logging level. The default is INFO.

set log_address

Logging address. The default is /dev/log.

set log_headers

Enables the ability to log request headers. The default is False.

reseller_prefix

The reseller prefix will verify a token begins with this prefix before even attempting to validate it. Also, with authorization, only Swift storage accounts with this prefix will be authorized by this middleware. Useful if multiple auth systems are in use for one Swift cluster. The default is AUTH.

auth_prefix

The auth prefix will cause requests beginning with this prefix to be routed to the auth subsystem, for granting tokens, etc. The default is /auth/.

require_group

The require_group parameter names a group that must be presented by either X-Auth-Token or X-Service-Token. Usually this parameter is used only with multiple reseller prefixes (e.g., SERVICE_require_group=blah). By default, no group is needed. Do not use .admin.

token_life

This is the time in seconds before the token expires. The default is 86400.

allow_overrides

This allows middleware higher in the WSGI pipeline to override auth processing, useful for middleware such as tempurl and formpost. If you know you're not going to use such middleware and you want a bit of extra security, you can set this to false. The default is true.

storage_url_scheme

This specifies what scheme to return with storage urls: http, https, or default (chooses based on what the server is running as) This can be useful with an SSL load balancer in front of a non-SSL server.

user_<account>_<user>

Lastly, you need to list all the accounts/users you want here. The format is: user_<account>_<user> = <key> [group] [group] [...] [storage_url] or if you want underscores in <account> or <user>, you can base64 encode them (with no equal signs) and use this format: user64_<account_b64>_<user_b64> = <key> [group] [group] [...] [storage_url]

There are special groups of: .reseller_admin who can do anything to any account for this auth and also .admin who can do anything within the account.

If neither of these groups are specified, the user can only access containers that have been explicitly allowed for them by a .admin or .reseller_admin. The trailing optional storage_url allows you to specify an alternate URL to hand back to the user upon authentication. If not specified, this defaults to http[s]://<ip>:<port>/v1/<reseller_prefix>_<account> where http or https depends on whether cert_file is specified in the [DEFAULT] section, <ip> and <port> are based on the [DEFAULT] section's bind_ip and bind_port (falling back to 127.0.0.1 and 8080), <reseller_prefix> is from this section, and <account> is from the user_<account>_<user> name.

Here are example entries, required for running the tests:

user_admin_admin = admin .admin .reseller_admin

user_test_tester = testing .admin

user_test2_tester2 = testing2 .admin

user_test_tester3 = testing3

[filter:authtoken]

paste.filter_factory = keystonemiddleware.auth_token:filter_factory

www_authenticate_uri = http://keystonehost:5000

auth_url = http://keystonehost:5000

auth_plugin = password

project_domain_id = default

user_domain_id = default

project_name = service

username = swift

password = password

# delay_auth_decision defaults to False, but leaving it as false will

# prevent other auth systems, staticweb, tempurl, formpost, and ACLs from

# working. This value must be explicitly set to True.

delay_auth_decision = False

cache = swift.cache

include_service_catalog = False

[filter:keystoneauth]

use

Entry point for paste.deploy for the keystoneauth middleware. This is the reference to the installed python egg. This is normally egg:swift#keystoneauth.

reseller_prefix

The reseller_prefix option lists account namespaces that this middleware is responsible for. The prefix is placed before the Keystone project id. For example, for project 12345678, and prefix AUTH, the account is named AUTH_12345678 (i.e., path is /v1/AUTH_12345678/...). Several prefixes are allowed by specifying a comma-separated list as in: "reseller_prefix = AUTH, SERVICE". The empty string indicates a single blank/empty prefix. If an empty prefix is required in a list of prefixes, a value of '' (two single quote characters) indicates a blank/empty prefix. Except for the blank/empty prefix, an underscore ('_') character is appended to the value unless already present.

operator_roles

The user must have at least one role named by operator_roles on a project in order to create, delete and modify containers and objects and to set and read privileged headers such as ACLs. If there are several reseller prefix items, you can prefix the parameter so it applies only to those accounts (for example the parameter SERVICE_operator_roles applies to the /v1/SERVICE_<project> path). If you omit the prefix, the option applies to all reseller prefix items. For the blank/empty prefix, prefix with '' (do not put underscore after the two single quote characters).

reseller_admin_role

The reseller admin role has the ability to create and delete accounts.

allow_overrides

This allows middleware higher in the WSGI pipeline to override auth processing, useful for middleware such as tempurl and formpost. If you know you're not going to use such middleware and you want a bit of extra security, you can set this to false.

service_roles

If the service_roles parameter is present, an X-Service-Token must be present in the request that when validated, grants at least one role listed in the parameter. The X-Service-Token may be scoped to any project. If there are several reseller prefix items, you can prefix the parameter so it applies only to those accounts (for example the parameter SERVICE_service_roles applies to the /v1/SERVICE_<project> path). If you omit the prefix, the option applies to all reseller prefix items. For the blank/empty prefix, prefix with '' (do not put underscore after the two single quote characters). By default, no service_roles are required.

default_domain_id

For backwards compatibility, keystoneauth will match names in cross-tenant access control lists (ACLs) when both the requesting user and the tenant are in the default domain i.e the domain to which existing tenants are migrated. The default_domain_id value configured here should be the same as the value used during migration of tenants to keystone domains.

allow_names_in_acls

For a new installation, or an installation in which keystone projects may move between domains, you should disable backwards compatible name matching in ACLs by setting allow_names_in_acls to false:

rate_buffer_seconds

Number of seconds the rate counter can drop and be allowed to catch up (at a faster than listed rate). A larger number will result in larger spikes in rate but better average accuracy. The default is 5.

account_ratelimit

If set, will limit PUT and DELETE requests to /account_name/container_name. Number is in requests per second. If set to 0 means disabled. The default is 0.

This is done by comparing the items in the reseller_prefixes config option to the found prefix. If they match except for case, the item from reseller_prefixes will be used instead of the found reseller prefix. When none match, the default reseller prefix is used. When no default reseller prefix is configured, any request with an account prefix not in that list will be ignored by this middleware. Defaults to 'AUTH'.

default_reseller_prefix

The default reseller prefix. This is used when none of the configured reseller_prefixes match. When not set, no reseller prefix is added.

Other transformers for timestamps are 's', 'ms', 'us' and 'ns' for seconds, milliseconds, microseconds and nanoseconds.

Python's strftime directives can also be used as tranformers (a, A, b, B, c, d, H, I, j, m, M, p, S, U, w, W, x, X, y, Y, Z).

Some keywords map to user data that could be anonymized by using the transformer 'anonymized'.

Keywords availables are:

client_ip (anonymizable)

remote_addr (anonymizable)

method (request method)

path (anonymizable)

protocol

status_int

referer (anonymizable)

user_agent (anonymizable)

auth_token

bytes_recvd (number of bytes received)

bytes_sent (number of bytes sent)

client_etag (anonymizable)

transaction_id

headers (anonymizable)

request_time (difference between start and end timestamps)

source

log_info

start_time (timestamp at the receiving, timestamp)

end_time (timestamp at the end of the treatment, timestamp)

ttfb (duration between request and first bytes is sent)

policy_index

account (account name, anonymizable)

container (container name, anonymizable)

object (object name, anonymizable)

pid (PID of the process emitting the log line)

Example: '{client_ip.anonymized} {remote_addr.anonymized} {start_time.iso8601} {end_time.H}:{end_time.M} {method} acc:{account} cnt:{container} obj:{object.anonymized}'

Default: '{client_ip} {remote_addr} {end_time.datetime} {method} {path} {protocol} {status_int} {referer} {user_agent} {auth_token} {bytes_recvd} {bytes_sent} {client_etag} {transaction_id} {headers} {request_time} {source} {log_info} {start_time} {end_time} {policy_index}'

yield_frequency

delete_container_retry_count

Note: This parameter is used during a bulk delete of objects and their container. This would frequently fail because it is very likely that all replicated objects have not been deleted by the time the middleware got a successful response.

Set this to false if you want to disallow any full URL values to be set for any new X-Container-Sync-To headers. This will keep any new full urls from coming in, but won't change any existing values already in the cluster. Updating those will have to be done manually, as knowing what the true realm endpoint should be cannot always be guessed. The default is true.

current

Set this to specify this clusters //realm/cluster as "current" in /info

[filter:xprofile]

Note: Put it at the beginning of the pipeline to profile all middleware. But it is safer to put this after healthcheck.

use

Entry point for paste.deploy for the xprofile middleware. This is the reference to the installed python egg. This is normally egg:swift#xprofile.

Make sure the executing user has permission to write into this path (missing path segments will be created, if necessary). If you enable profiling in more than one type of daemon, you must override it with an unique value like, the default is /var/log/swift/profile/account.profile.

dump_interval

The profile data will be dumped to local disk based on above naming rule in this interval. The default is 5.0.

dump_timestamp

Be careful, this option will enable profiler to dump data into the file with time stamp which means there will be lots of files piled up in the directory. The default is false

path

This is the path of the URL to access the mini web UI. The default is __profile__.

flush_at_shutdown

Clear the data when the wsgi server shutdown. The default is false.

unwind

Unwind the iterator of applications. Default is false.

[filter:versioned_writes]

Note: Put after slo, dlo in the pipeline. If you don't put it in the pipeline, it will be inserted automatically.

use

Entry point for paste.deploy for the versioned_writes middleware. This is the reference to the installed python egg. This is normally egg:swift#versioned_writes.

allow_versioned_writes

Enables using versioned writes middleware and exposing configuration settings via HTTP GET /info. WARNING: Setting this option bypasses the "allow_versions" option in the container configuration file, which will be eventually deprecated. See documentation for more details.

This is indicated by section name [app:proxy-server]. Below are the parameters that are acceptable within this section.

use

Entry point for paste.deploy for the proxy server. This is the reference to the installed python egg. This is normally egg:swift#proxy.

set log_name

Label used when logging. The default is proxy-server.

set log_facility

Syslog log facility. The default is LOG_LOCAL0.

set log_level

Logging level. The default is INFO.

set log_address

Logging address. The default is /dev/log.

log_handoffs

Log when handoff locations are used. Default is True.

recheck_account_existence

Cache timeout in seconds to send memcached for account existence. The default is 60 seconds.

recheck_container_existence

Cache timeout in seconds to send memcached for container existence. The default is 60 seconds.

object_chunk_size

Chunk size to read from object servers. The default is 65536.

client_chunk_size

Chunk size to read from clients. The default is 65536.

node_timeout

Request timeout to external services. The default is 10 seconds.

recoverable_node_timeout

How long the proxy server will wait for an initial response and to read a chunk of data from the object servers while serving GET / HEAD requests. Timeouts from these requests can be recovered from so setting this to something lower than node_timeout would provide quicker error recovery while allowing for a longer timeout for non-recoverable requests (PUTs). Defaults to node_timeout, should be overridden if node_timeout is set to a high number to prevent client timeouts from firing before the proxy server has a chance to retry.

conn_timeout

Connection timeout to external services. The default is 0.5 seconds.

post_quorum_timeout

How long to wait for requests to finish after a quorum has been established. The default is 0.5 seconds.

error_suppression_interval

Time in seconds that must elapse since the last error for a node to be considered no longer error limited. The default is 60 seconds.

error_suppression_limit

Error count to consider a node error limited. The default is 10.

allow_account_management

Whether account PUTs and DELETEs are even callable. If set to 'true' any authorized user may create and delete accounts; if 'false' no one, even authorized, can. The default is false.

account_autocreate

If set to 'true' authorized accounts that do not yet exist within the Swift cluster will be automatically created. The default is set to false.

max_containers_per_account

If set to a positive value, trying to create a container when the account already has at least this maximum containers will result in a 403 Forbidden. Note: This is a soft limit, meaning a user might exceed the cap for recheck_account_existence before the 403s kick in.

max_containers_whitelist

This is a comma separated list of account hashes that ignore the max_containers_per_account cap.

deny_host_headers

Comma separated list of Host headers to which the proxy will deny requests. The default is empty.

sorting_method

Storage nodes can be chosen at random (shuffle - default), by using timing measurements (timing), or by using an explicit match (affinity). Using timing measurements may allow for lower overall latency, while using affinity allows for finer control. In both the timing and affinity cases, equally-sorting nodes are still randomly chosen to spread load. The valid values for sorting_method are "affinity", "shuffle", and "timing".

timing_expiry

If the "timing" sorting_method is used, the timings will only be valid for the number of seconds configured by timing_expiry. The default is 300.

concurrent_gets

If "on" then use replica count number of threads concurrently during a GET/HEAD and return with the first successful response. In the EC case, this parameter only affects an EC HEAD as an EC GET behaves differently. Default is "off".

concurrency_timeout

This parameter controls how long to wait before firing off the next concurrent_get thread. A value of 0 would we fully concurrent, any other number will stagger the firing of the threads. This number should be between 0 and node_timeout. The default is the value of conn_timeout (0.5).

request_node_count

Set to the number of nodes to contact for a normal request. You can use '* replicas' at the end to have it use the number given times the number of replicas for the ring being used for the request. The default is '2 * replicas'.

read_affinity

Specifies which backend servers to prefer on reads. Format is a comma separated list of affinity descriptors of the form <selection>=<priority>. The <selection> may be r<N> for selecting nodes in region N or r<N>z<M> for selecting nodes in region N, zone M. The <priority> value should be a whole number that represents the priority to be given to the selection; lower numbers are higher priority. Default is empty, meaning no preference.

Example: first read from region 1 zone 1, then region 1 zone 2, then anything in region 2, then everything else:

read_affinity = r1z1=100, r1z2=200, r2=300

write_affinity

Specifies which backend servers to prefer on writes. Format is a comma separated list of affinity descriptors of the form r<N> for region N or r<N>z<M> for region N, zone M. If this is set, then when handling an object PUT request, some number (see setting write_affinity_node_count) of local backend servers will be tried before any nonlocal ones. Default is empty, meaning no preference.

Example: try to write to regions 1 and 2 before writing to any other nodes:

write_affinity = r1, r2

write_affinity_node_count

The number of local (as governed by the write_affinity setting) nodes to attempt to contact first on writes, before any non-local ones. The value should be an integer number, or use '* replicas' at the end to have it use the number given times the number of replicas for the ring being used for the request. The default is '2 * replicas'.

swift_owner_headers

These are the headers whose values will only be shown to swift_owners. The exact definition of a swift_owner is up to the auth system in use, but usually indicates administrative responsibilities. The default is 'x-container-read, x-container-write, x-container-sync-key, x-container-sync-to, x-account-meta-temp-url-key, x-account-meta-temp-url-key-2, x-container-meta-temp-url-key, x-container-meta-temp-url-key-2, x-account-access-control'.

rate_limit_after_segment

Start rate-limiting object segments after the Nth segment of a segmented object. The default is 10 segments.

rate_limit_segments_per_sec

Once segment rate-limiting kicks in for an object, limit segments served to N per second. The default is 1.

nice_priority

Modify 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

Modify 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. Work only with ionice_priority.

ionice_priority

Modify 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.
