Proxy server configuration

Proxy server configuration

Find an example proxy server configuration at etc/proxy-server.conf-sample in the source code repository.

The available configuration options are:

Description of configuration options for [app-proxy-server] in proxy-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
account_autocreate = false If set to ‘true’ authorized accounts that do not yet exist within the Swift cluster will be automatically created.
allow_account_management = false Whether account PUTs and DELETEs are even callable.
auto_create_account_prefix = . Prefix to use when automatically creating accounts.
client_chunk_size = 65536 Chunk size to read from clients.
conn_timeout = 0.5 Connection timeout to external services.
deny_host_headers = Comma separated list of Host headers to which the proxy will deny requests.
error_suppression_interval = 60 Time in seconds that must elapse since the last error for a node to be considered no longer error limited.
error_suppression_limit = 10 Error count to consider a node error limited.
log_handoffs = true

Log handoff requests if handoff logging is enabled and the handoff was not expected.

We only log handoffs when we’ve pushed the handoff count further than we would normally have expected under normal circumstances, that is (request_node_count - num_primaries), when handoffs goes higher than that it means one of the primaries must have been skipped because of error limiting before we consumed all of our nodes_left.

max_containers_per_account = 0 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 = is a comma separated list of account names that ignore the max_containers_per_account cap.
node_timeout = 10 Request timeout to external services.
object_chunk_size = 65536 Chunk size to read from object servers.
object_post_as_copy = true Set object_post_as_copy = false to turn on fast posts where only the metadata changes are stored anew and the original data file is kept in place. This makes for quicker posts; but since the container metadata isn’t updated in this mode, features like container sync won’t be able to sync posts.
post_quorum_timeout = 0.5 How long to wait for requests to finish after a quorum has been established.
put_queue_depth = 10 Depth of the proxy put queue.
read_affinity = r1z1=100, r1z2=200, r2=300

Which backend servers to prefer on reads. Format is r<N> for region N or r<N>z<M> for region N, zone M. The value after the equals is the priority; lower numbers are higher priority.

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

Default is empty, meaning no preference.

recheck_account_existence = 60 Cache timeout in seconds to send memcached for account existence.
recheck_container_existence = 60 Cache timeout in seconds to send memcached for container existence.
recoverable_node_timeout = node_timeout Request timeout to external services for requests that, on failure, can be recovered from. For example, object GET. from a client external services.
request_node_count = 2 * replicas replicas 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. conf file for values will only be shown to the list of swift_owners. The exact default definition of a swift_owner is headers> up to the auth system in use, but usually indicates administrative responsibilities. paste.deploy to use for auth. To use tempauth set to:
set log_address = /dev/log Location where syslog sends the logs to.
set log_facility = LOG_LOCAL0 Syslog log facility.
set log_level = INFO Log level.
set log_name = proxy-server Label to use when logging.
sorting_method = shuffle

Storage nodes can be chosen at random (shuffle), 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”, or “timing”.

swift_owner_headers = 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 These are the headers whose conf file for values will only be shown to the list of swift_owners. The exact default definition of a swift_owner is headers> up to the auth system in use, but usually indicates administrative responsibilities. paste.deploy to use for auth. To use tempauth set to:
timing_expiry = 300 If the “timing” sorting_method is used, the timings will only be valid for the number of seconds configured by timing_expiry.
use = egg:swift#proxy Entry point of paste.deploy in the server.
write_affinity = r1, r2 This setting lets you trade data distribution for throughput. It makes the proxy server prefer local back-end servers for object PUT requests over non-local ones. Note that only object PUT requests are affected by the write_affinity setting; POST, GET, HEAD, DELETE, OPTIONS, and account/container PUT requests are not affected. The format is 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 the write_affinity_node_count setting) of local backend servers will be tried before any nonlocal ones. Example: try to write to regions 1 and 2 before writing to any other nodes: write_affinity = r1, r2
write_affinity_node_count = 2 * replicas This setting is only useful in conjunction with write_affinity; it governs how many local object servers will be tried before falling back to non-local ones. 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: write_affinity_node_count = 2 * replicas

Description of configuration options for [filter-authtoken] in proxy-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
auth_plugin = password Authentication module to use.
auth_uri = http://keystonehost:5000 auth_uri should point to a Keystone service from which users may retrieve tokens. This value is used in the WWW-Authenticate header that auth_token sends with any denial response.
auth_url = http://keystonehost:35357 auth_url points to the Keystone Admin service. This information is used by the middleware to actually query Keystone about the validity of the authentication tokens. It is not necessary to append any Keystone API version number to this URI.
cache = swift.cache cache is set to swift.cache. This means that the middleware will get the Swift memcache from the request environment.
delay_auth_decision = False 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.
include_service_catalog = False include_service_catalog defaults to True if not set. This means that when validating a token, the service catalog is retrieved and stored in the X-Service-Catalog header. Since Swift does not use the X-Service-Catalog header, there is no point in getting the service catalog. We recommend you set include_service_catalog to False.
password = password Password for service user.

Description of configuration options for [filter-container_sync] in proxy-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
allow_full_urls = true 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.

Description of configuration options for [filter-versioned_writes] in proxy-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
allow_versioned_writes = false

Enables using versioned writes middleware and exposing configuration settings via HTTP GET /info.

Description of configuration options for [filter-keystoneauth] in proxy-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
allow_names_in_acls = true The backwards compatible behavior can be disabled by setting this option to False.
allow_overrides = true This option allows middleware higher in the WSGI pipeline to override auth processing, useful for middleware such as tempurl and formpost. If you know you are not going to use such middleware and you want a bit of extra security, you can set this to False.
default_domain_id = default Name of the default domain. It is identified by its UUID, which by default has the value “default”.
is_admin = false If this option is set to True, it allows to give a user whose username is the same as the project name and who has any role in the project access rights elevated to be the same as if the user had one of the operator_roles. Note that the condition compares names rather than UUIDs. This option is deprecated. It is False by default.
operator_roles = admin, swiftoperator Operator role defines the user which is allowed to manage a tenant and create containers or give ACL to others. This parameter may be prefixed with an appropriate prefix.
reseller_admin_role = ResellerAdmin The reseller admin role gives the ability to create and delete accounts.
reseller_prefix = AUTH The naming scope for the auth service.
service_roles = When present, this option requires that the X-Service-Token header supplies a token from a user who has a role listed in service_roles. This parameter may be prefixed with an appropriate prefix.

access_log_address = /dev/log Location where syslog sends the logs to. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without “access_” will be used.
access_log_facility = LOG_LOCAL0 Syslog facility to receive log lines. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without “access_” will be used.
access_log_headers = false Header to receive log lines. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without “access_” will be used.
access_log_headers_only = If access_log_headers is True and access_log_headers_only is set only these headers are logged. Multiple headers can be defined as comma separated list like this: access_log_headers_only = Host, X-Object-Meta-Mtime.
access_log_level = INFO Syslog logging level to receive log lines. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without “access_” will be used.

access_log_statsd_default_sample_rate = 1.0 Defines the probability of sending a sample for any given event or timing measurement. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without “access_” will be used.
access_log_statsd_host = localhost You can use log_statsd_* from [DEFAULT], or override them here. 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.
access_log_statsd_metric_prefix = Value will be prepended to every metric sent to the StatsD server. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without “access_” will be used.
access_log_statsd_port = 8125 Port value for the StatsD server. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without “access_” will be used.
access_log_statsd_sample_rate_factor = 1.0 Not recommended to set this to a value less than 1.0, if frequency of logging is too high, tune the log_statsd_default_sample_rate instead. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without “access_” will be used.
access_log_udp_host = If not set, the UDP receiver for syslog is disabled. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without “access_” will be used.
access_log_udp_port = 514 Port value for UDP receiver, if enabled. If not set, logging directives from [DEFAULT] without “access_” will be used.
log_statsd_valid_http_methods = GET,HEAD,POST,PUT,DELETE,COPY,OPTIONS What HTTP methods are allowed for StatsD logging (comma-sep). request methods not in this list will have “BAD_METHOD” for the <verb> portion of the metric.
reveal_sensitive_prefix = 16

The X-Auth-Token is sensitive data. If revealed to an unauthorised person, they can now make requests against an account until the token expires. Set reveal_sensitive_prefix to the number of characters of the token that are logged. For example reveal_sensitive_prefix = 12 so only first 12 characters of the token are logged. Or, set to 0 to completely remove the token.

Note

reveal_sensitive_prefix will not affect the value logged with access_log_headers=True.

Configuration option = Default value Description
allow_overrides = true This option allows middleware higher in the WSGI pipeline to override auth processing, useful for middleware such as tempurl and formpost. If you know you are not going to use such middleware and you want a bit of extra security, you can set this to False.
auth_prefix = /auth/ The HTTP request path prefix for the auth service. Swift itself reserves anything beginning with the letter.
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 (for example, SERVICE_require_group=blah). By default, no group is needed. Do not use .admin.
reseller_prefix = AUTH The naming scope for the auth service.
set log_address = /dev/log Location where syslog sends the logs to.

Description of configuration options for [filter-xprofile] in proxy-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
dump_interval = 5.0 The profile data will be dumped to local disk based on above naming rule in this interval (seconds).
dump_timestamp = false Be careful, this option will enable the profiler to dump data into the file with a time stamp which means that there will be lots of files piled up in the directory.
flush_at_shutdown = false Clears the data when the wsgi server shutdowns.
log_filename_prefix = /tmp/log/swift/profile/default.profile This prefix is used to combine the process ID and timestamp to name the profile data file. Make sure the executing user has permission to write into this path. Any missing path segments will be created, if necessary. When you enable profiling in more than one type of daemon, you must override it with a unique value like: /var/log/swift/profile/accoutn.profile.
path = /__profile__ This is the path of the URL to access the mini web UI.
profile_module = eventlet.green.profile This option enables you to switch profilers which inherit from the Python standard profiler. Currently, the supported value can be ‘cProfile’, ‘eventlet.green.profile’, etc.

# The reseller_prefix may contain a comma separated list of items. The first

# items exist, the middleware will handle authorization for an account with
# that prefix. For example, for prefixes "AUTH, SERVICE", a path of
# /v1/SERVICE_account is handled the same as /v1/AUTH_account. If an empty

# There are special groups of:
#   .reseller_admin = can do anything to any account for this auth
#   .admin = can do anything within the account
# If neither of these groups are specified, the user can only access containers

# 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
# $HOST/v1/<reseller_prefix>_<account> where $HOST will do its best to resolve
# to what the requester would need to use to reach this host.
