Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
I don't need notifications on the message bus. How do I disable them?
|
|
=====================================================================
|
|
|
|
Notification messages can be disabled using the ``noop`` notify
|
|
driver. Set ``notification_driver = noop`` in your configuration file.
|
|
|
|
Why does the notification publisher create queues, too? Shouldn't the subscriber do that?
|
|
=========================================================================================
|
|
|
|
The notification messages are meant to be used for integration with
|
|
external services, including services that are not part of
|
|
OpenStack. To ensure that the subscriber does not miss any messages if
|
|
it starts after the publisher, ``oslo.messaging`` ensures that
|
|
subscriber queues exist when notifications are sent.
|
|
|
|
How do I change the queue names where notifications are published?
|
|
==================================================================
|
|
|
|
Notifications are published to the configured exchange using a topic
|
|
built from a base value specified in the configuration file and the
|
|
notification "level". The default topic is ``notifications``, so an
|
|
info-level notification is published to the topic
|
|
``notifications.info``. A subscriber queue of the same name is created
|
|
automatically for each of these topics. To change the queue names,
|
|
change the notification topic using the ``notification_topics``
|
|
configuration option. The option accepts a list of values, so it is
|
|
possible to publish to multiple topics.
