Howto
-----
1. Package the octavia_dashboard by running::
python setup.py sdist
This will create a python egg in the dist folder, which can be used to
install on the horizon machine or within horizon's python virtual
environment.
2. Copy ``_1482_project_load_balancer_panel.py`` in
``octavia_dashboard/enabled`` directory
to ``openstack_dashboard/local/enabled``::
$ cp -a \
${OCTAVIA_DASHBOARD_DIR}/octavia_dashboard/enabled/_1482_*.py \
${HORIZON_DIR}/openstack_dashboard/local/enabled/
3. (Optional) Generate the policy file and copy into horizon's policy files
folder, and copy ``_1499_load_balancer_settings.py`` in
``octavia_dashboard/local_settings.d`` directory
to ``openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.d``::
$ oslopolicy-policy-generator \
--config-file \
${OCTAVIA_DIR}/etc/policy/octavia-policy-generator.conf \
--output-file \
${OCTAVIA_DASHBOARD_DIR}/octavia_dashboard/conf/octavia_policy.yaml
$ cp -a \
${OCTAVIA_DASHBOARD_DIR}/octavia_dashboard/conf/octavia_policy.yaml \
${HORIZON_DIR}/openstack_dashboard/conf/
$ cp -a \
${OCTAVIA_DASHBOARD_DIR}/octavia_dashboard/local_settings.d/_1499_*.py \
${HORIZON_DIR}/openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.d/
4. Django has a compressor feature that performs many enhancements for the
delivery of static files. If the compressor feature is enabled in your
environment (``COMPRESS_OFFLINE = True``), run the following commands::
$ ./manage.py collectstatic
$ ./manage.py compress
5. Finally restart your web server to enable octavia-dashboard
in your Horizon::
$ sudo service apache2 restart
Enabling octavia-dashboard and neutron-lbaas-dashboard
------------------------------------------------------
In general we advise against having both dashboards running at the same
time to avoid confusing users, which is exaggerated since the dashboards
will have the same label.
In rare circumstances, e.g. as part of a migration strategy, it might be
necessary to do so. The main issue to watch out for is to avoid neutron-lbaas
and Octavia getting out of sync and neutron-lbaas-dashboard showing phantom
load balancers - this can be avoided if the sync between Octavia and
neutron-lbaas is fully enabled.
Here is a table to show some cases:
+---------------+-----------------+----------------+-----------+--------------+
| Configuration | Configuration | neutron-lbaas- | octavia- | Notes |
| neutron-lbaas | Octavia | dashboard | dashboard | |
| | | enabled | enabled | |
