We can measure the health of our cluster by using the swift-dispersion-report tool. This is done by checking the set of our distributed containers to ensure that the objects are in their proper places within the cluster.
Ensure you are logged in to the swift-proxy nodes. If you created this node with Vagrant, you can access it by using the following command:
vagrant ssh swift-proxy
Carry out the following steps to set up the swift-dispersion tool to report on cluster health:
We create the configuration file (
/etc/swift/dispersion.conf) required by theswift-dispersiontool, as follows:[dispersion] auth_url = https://192.168.100.200:5000/v2.0 auth_user = cookbook:admin auth_key = openstack auth_version = 2.0 keystone_api_insecure = yes
Now, we need to create containers...
