 Object server configuration

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

The available configuration options are:

Table 10.2. Description of configuration options for [DEFAULT] in object-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
backlog = 4096 Maximum number of allowed pending TCP connections
bind_ip = 0.0.0.0 IP Address for server to bind to
bind_port = 6000 Port for server to bind to
bind_timeout = 30 Seconds to attempt bind before giving up
client_timeout = 60 Timeout to read one chunk from a client external services
conn_timeout = 0.5 Connection timeout to external services
devices = /srv/node Parent directory of where devices are mounted
disable_fallocate = false Disable "fast fail" fallocate checks if the underlying filesystem does not support it.
disk_chunk_size = 65536 Size of chunks to read/write to disk
eventlet_debug = false If true, turn on debug logging for eventlet
expiring_objects_account_name = expiring_objects No help text available for this option.
expiring_objects_container_divisor = 86400 No help text available for this option.
fallocate_reserve = 0 You can set fallocate_reserve to the number of bytes you'd like fallocate to reserve, whether there is space for the given file size or not. This is useful for systems that behave badly when they completely run out of space; you can make the services pretend they're out of space early. server. For most cases, this should be `egg:swift#object`.
log_address = /dev/log Location where syslog sends the logs to
log_custom_handlers = Comma-separated list of functions to call to setup custom log handlers.
log_facility = LOG_LOCAL0 Syslog log facility
log_level = INFO Logging level
log_max_line_length = 0 Caps the length of log lines to the value given; no limit if set to 0, the default.
log_name = swift Label used when logging
log_statsd_default_sample_rate = 1.0 Defines the probability of sending a sample for any given event or timing measurement.
log_statsd_host = localhost If not set, the StatsD feature is disabled.
log_statsd_metric_prefix = Value will be prepended to every metric sent to the StatsD server.
log_statsd_port = 8125 Port value for the StatsD server.
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.
log_udp_host = If not set, the UDP receiver for syslog is disabled.
log_udp_port = 514 Port value for UDP receiver, if enabled.
max_clients = 1024 Maximum number of clients one worker can process simultaneously Lowering the number of clients handled per worker, and raising the number of workers can lessen the impact that a CPU intensive, or blocking, request can have on other requests served by the same worker. If the maximum number of clients is set to one, then a given worker will not perform another call while processing, allowing other workers a chance to process it.
mount_check = true Whether or not check if the devices are mounted to prevent accidentally writing to the root device
network_chunk_size = 65536 Size of chunks to read/write over the network
node_timeout = 3 Request timeout to external services
swift_dir = /etc/swift Swift configuration directory
user = swift User to run as
workers = auto a much higher value, one can reduce the impact of slow file system operations in one request from negatively impacting other requests.

Table 10.3. Description of configuration options for [app-object-server] in object-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
allowed_headers = Content-Disposition, Content-Encoding, X-Delete-At, X-Object-Manifest, X-Static-Large-Object Comma-separated list of headers that can be set in metadata of an object
auto_create_account_prefix = . Prefix to use when automatically creating accounts
keep_cache_private = false Allow non-public objects to stay in kernel's buffer cache
keep_cache_size = 5242880 Largest object size to keep in buffer cache
max_upload_time = 86400 Maximum time allowed to upload an object
mb_per_sync = 512 On PUT requests, sync file every n MB
replication_concurrency = 4 Set to restrict the number of concurrent incoming REPLICATION requests; set to 0 for unlimited
replication_failure_ratio = 1.0 If the value of failures / successes of REPLICATION subrequests exceeds this ratio, the overall REPLICATION request will be aborted
replication_failure_threshold = 100 The number of subrequest failures before the replication_failure_ratio is checked
replication_lock_timeout = 15 Number of seconds to wait for an existing replication device lock before giving up.
replication_one_per_device = True Restricts incoming REPLICATION requests to one per device, replication_currency above allowing. This can help control I/O to each device, but you may wish to set this to False to allow multiple REPLICATION requests (up to the above replication_concurrency setting) per device.
replication_server = false If defined, tells server how to handle replication verbs in requests. When set to True (or 1), only replication verbs will be accepted. When set to False, replication verbs will be rejected. When undefined, server will accept any verb in the request.
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 = object-server Label to use when logging
set log_requests = true Whether or not to log requests
slow = 0 If > 0, Minimum time in seconds for a PUT or DELETE request to complete
splice = no No help text available for this option.
threads_per_disk = 0 Size of the per-disk thread pool used for performing disk I/O. The default of 0 means to not use a per-disk thread pool. It is recommended to keep this value small, as large values can result in high read latencies due to large queue depths. A good starting point is 4 threads per disk.
use = egg:swift#object Entry point of paste.deploy in the server

handoff_delete = auto By default handoff partitions will be removed when it has successfully replicated to all the canonical nodes. If set to an integer n, it will remove the partition if it is successfully replicated to n nodes. The default setting should not be changed, except for extremem situations. This uses what's set here, or what's set in the DEFAULT section, or 10 (though other sections use 3 as the final default).
handoffs_first = False If set to True, partitions that are not supposed to be on the node will be replicated first. The default setting should not be changed, except for extreme situations.

Setting this to one (1) will only handle one request at a time, without accepting another request concurrently. By increasing the number of workers to a much higher value, one can reduce the impact of slow file system operations in one request from negatively impacting other requests. underlying filesystem does not support it. to setup custom log handlers. bytes you'd like fallocate to reserve, whether there is space for the given file size or not.
