A python script that pings an OpenStack environment in-parallel using NovaClient.

To get started:

1. Pull the repository
2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Setup os.cnf file

To set up the config the required parameters are below:

• version=2.1
• user=
• password=
• tenant=
• auth_url=http://XX.XX.XXX.XXX:5000/v2.0
• services_list=cinder, nova, glance, neutron, swift
• daemon_file=
• output_file=

Note: If you are pinging Swift you must have a container name specified.

This script will parse the following arguments from the command-line and pulls additional data from os.cnf

[-s/--services] [-t/--time] || [-d/--daemon]} [-o/--output-file]

--services is a comma-delimited list of services, defaults to the value in os.cnf

--time is the total amount of time in seconds that the script will check the api's of the given services. Defaults to 60.

To test against glance & nova:

python call_test.py -s glance, nova

This script can also be run in daemon mode, where it will continuously run until a given file (specified in os.cnf) is detected (the default is sys.prefix/api.uptime.stop).

To run the script in daemon mode, simply run:

python call_test.py -d

To end daemon mode, create the file at the specified location.

This script can also be run in time mode, where it will continuously run for the specified number of seconds.

To run the script in time mode, simply run:

python call_test.py -t 5

Where 5 is the number of seconds.

A location for the output file can be specified in os.cnf or specified via the command-line via the -o/--output-file option.

If no output file is given the output will be printed to stdout.
