Configuration and Policy Guide¶
The static configuration for mistral lives in two main files: mistral.conf
and policy.yaml. These are described below.
Configuration¶
Mistral, like most OpenStack projects, uses INI-style configuration files to
configure various services and utilities. This functionality is provided by the
oslo.config project. oslo.config supports loading configuration from both
individual configuration files and a directory of configuration files. By
default, mistral will search for a config file named
/etc/mistral/mistral.conf.
More information on how you can use the configuration options to configure services and what configuration options are available can be found below.

Policy¶
Mistral, like most OpenStack projects, uses a policy language to restrict
permissions on REST API actions. This functionality is provided by the
oslo.policy project. oslo.policy supports loading policy configuration
from both an individual configuration file, which defaults to policy.yaml,
and one or more directories of configuration files, which defaults to
policy.d. These must be located in the same directory as the
mistral.conf file(s). This behavior can be overridden by setting the
oslo_policy.policy_file and
oslo_policy.policy_dirs configuration options.
