Notifications

Notifications can be generated for several events in the image lifecycle. These can be used for auditing, troubleshooting, etc.

Notification Drivers

  This driver uses the standard Python logging infrastructure with the notifications ending up in file specificed by the log_file configuration directive.

• messaging

  This strategy sends notifications to a message queue configured using oslo.messaging configuration options.

• noop

  This strategy produces no notifications. It is the default strategy.
