.SH NAME

.B object-server.conf
\- configuration file for the OpenStack Swift object server
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.B object-server.conf
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This is the configuration file used by the object server and other object
background services, such as; replicator, reconstructor, updater, auditor, and
expirer.
The configuration file follows the python-pastedeploy syntax. The file is divided
into sections, which are enclosed by square brackets. Each section will contain a
certain number of key/value parameters which are described later.
Any line that begins with a '#' symbol is ignored.
You can find more information about python-pastedeploy configuration format at
\fIhttps://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pastedeploy/en/latest/#config-format\fR
.SH GLOBAL SECTION

.IP "\fBauto_create_account_prefix [deprecated]\fR"
The default is '.'. Should be configured in swift.conf instead.
.IP "\fBreplication_server\fR"
Configure parameter for creating specific server
To handle all verbs, including replication verbs, do not specify
"replication_server" (this is the default). To only handle replication,
set to a True value (e.g. "True" or "1"). To handle only non-replication
verbs, set to "False". Unless you have a separate replication network, you
should not specify any value for "replication_server".
.IP "\fBreplication_concurrency\fR"
Set to restrict the number of concurrent incoming SSYNC requests
Set to 0 for unlimited (the default is 4). Note that SSYNC requests are only used
by the object reconstructor or the object replicator when configured to use ssync.
.IP "\fBreplication_concurrency_per_device\fR"
Set to restrict the number of concurrent incoming SSYNC requests per device;
set to 0 for unlimited requests per devices. This can help control I/O to each
device. This does not override replication_concurrency described above, so you
may need to adjust both parameters depending on your hardware or network
capacity. Defaults to 1.

Number of seconds to wait for an existing replication device lock before
giving up. The default is 15.

abort an incoming SSYNC attempt. An abort will occur if there are at
least threshold number of failures and the value of failures / successes
exceeds the ratio. The defaults of 100 and 1.0 means that at least 100
failures have to occur and there have to be more failures than successes for
an abort to occur.
.IP "\fBsplice\fR"
Use splice() for zero-copy object GETs. This requires Linux kernel
version 3.0 or greater. If you set "splice = yes" but the kernel
does not support it, error messages will appear in the object server
logs at startup, but your object servers should continue to function.

are IOPRIO_CLASS_RT (realtime), IOPRIO_CLASS_BE (best-effort) and IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE (idle).
The default does not modify class and priority.
Work only with ionice_priority.
.IP \fBionice_priority\fR
Modify I/O scheduling priority of server processes. I/O niceness priority
is a number which goes from 0 to 7. The higher the value, the lower

.IP "\fB[filter:healthcheck]\fR"
.RE
.RS 3
.IP "\fBuse\fR"
Entry point for paste.deploy for the healthcheck middleware. This is the reference to the installed python egg.
This is normally \fBegg:swift#healthcheck\fR.

The default is /var/lock.
.RE
.PD
.RS 0
.IP "\fB[filter:xprofile]\fR"
.RS 3

Entry point for paste.deploy for the xprofile middleware. This is the reference to the installed python egg.
This is normally \fBegg:swift#xprofile\fR.
.IP "\fBprofile_module\fR"
This option enable you to switch profilers which should inherit from python
standard profiler. Currently the supported value can be 'cProfile', 'eventlet.green.profile' etc.
.IP "\fBlog_filename_prefix\fR"
This prefix will be used to combine process ID and timestamp to name the
profile data file. Make sure the executing user has permission to write
into this path (missing path segments will be created, if necessary).
If you enable profiling in more than one type of daemon, you must override
it with an unique value like, the default is /var/log/swift/profile/account.profile.
.IP "\fBdump_interval\fR"
The profile data will be dumped to local disk based on above naming rule
in this interval. The default is 5.0.
.IP "\fBdump_timestamp\fR"
Be careful, this option will enable profiler to dump data into the file with
time stamp which means there will be lots of files piled up in the directory.
The default is false
.IP "\fBpath\fR"
This is the path of the URL to access the mini web UI. The default is __profile__.
.IP "\fBflush_at_shutdown\fR"

Interval in seconds between logging replication statistics. The default is 300.
.IP \fBsync_method\fR
The sync method to use; default is rsync but you can use ssync to try the
EXPERIMENTAL all-swift-code-no-rsync-callouts method. Once ssync is verified
as having performance comparable to, or better than, rsync, we plan to
deprecate rsync so we can move on with more features for replication.

.IP \fBrsync_io_timeout\fR
Passed to rsync for I/O OP timeout. The default is 30 seconds.

.IP "\fBhandoffs_first\fR"
The flag to replicate handoffs prior to canonical partitions.
It allows one to force syncing and deleting handoffs quickly.

after syncing partition when the number of successful responses is greater
than or equal to this number. By default(auto), handoff partitions will be
removed when it has successfully replicated to all the canonical nodes.
The handoffs_first and handoff_delete are options for a special case
such as disk full in the cluster. These two options SHOULD NOT BE
CHANGED, except for such an extreme situations. (e.g. disks filled up
or are about to fill up. Anyway, DO NOT let your drives fill up).

Processes is how many parts to divide the legacy work into, one part per process that will be doing the work.
Processes set 0 means that a single process will be doing all the legacy work.
Processes can also be specified on the command line and will override the config value.
The default is 0.
.IP \fBprocess\fR
Process can only be used in conjunction with `dequeue_from_legacy`.
Process is which of the parts a particular legacy process will work on process can also be specified
on the command line and will override the config value process is "zero based", if you want
to use 3 processes, you should run processes with process set to 0, 1, and 2. The default is 0.
.IP \fBreclaim_age\fR
The expirer will re-attempt expiring if the source object is not available up
to reclaim_age seconds before it gives up and deletes the task in the queue.
The default is 604800 seconds (= 1 week).
.IP \fBrecon_cache_path\fR
Path to recon cache directory. The default is /var/cache/swift
.IP \fBnice_priority\fR
Modify scheduling priority of server processes. Niceness values range from -20
(most favorable to the process) to 19 (least favorable to the process).
The default does not modify priority.
.IP \fBionice_class\fR
Modify I/O scheduling class of server processes. I/O niceness class values
are IOPRIO_CLASS_RT (realtime), IOPRIO_CLASS_BE (best-effort) and IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE (idle).
The default does not modify class and priority.
Work only with ionice_priority.
.IP \fBionice_priority\fR
Modify I/O scheduling priority of server processes. I/O niceness priority
is a number which goes from 0 to 7. The higher the value, the lower
the I/O priority of the process. Work only with ionice_class.
Ignored if IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE is set.
