swift-recon(1)

NAME

swift-recon - Openstack-swift recon middleware cli tool

SYNOPSIS

swift-recon [-v] [--suppress] [-a] [-r] [-u] [-d] [-l] [--objmd5]

DESCRIPTION

The swift-recon cli tool can be used to retrieve various metrics and telemetry information about a cluster that has been collected by the swift-recon middleware. In order to make use of the swift-recon middleware, update the object-server.conf file and enable the recon middleware by adding a pipeline entry and setting its option(s). You can view more information in the example section below.

OPTIONS

    -h, --help
        show this help message and exit

    -v, --verbose
        Print verbose information

    --suppress
        Suppress most connection related errors

    -a, --async
        Get async stats

    -r, --replication
        Get replication stats

    -u, --unmounted
        Check cluster for unmounted devices

    -d, --diskusage
        Get disk usage stats

    -l, --loadstats
        Get cluster load average stats

    -q, --quarantined
        Get cluster quarantine stats

    --objmd5
        Get md5sums of object.ring.gz and compare to local copy

    --all
        Perform all checks. Equivalent to -arudlq --objmd5

    -z ZONE, --zone=ZONE
        Only query servers in specified zone

    --swiftdir=PATH
        Default = /etc/swift

EXAMPLE

    ubuntu:~$ swift-recon -q --zone 3
    ===============================================================================
    [2011-10-18 19:36:00] Checking quarantine dirs on 1 hosts...
    [Quarantined objects] low: 4, high: 4, avg: 4, total: 4
    [Quarantined accounts] low: 0, high: 0, avg: 0, total: 0
    [Quarantined containers] low: 0, high: 0, avg: 0, total: 0
    ===============================================================================
    Finally if you also wish to track asynchronous pending’s you will need to setup a cronjob to run the swift-recon-cron script periodically:
    */5 * * * * swift /usr/bin/swift-recon-cron /etc/swift/object-server.conf
