pycadf doesn't work when service catalog is not set

[Divya K Konoor]

pycadf middleware throws the following exception when it doesn't find service catalog in the request header.

776 ERROR pycadf.middleware.notifier [req-cd3fd550-48d3-43a4-b3a7-08e47a0b39e4 None] An exception occurred processing the API call: 'HTTP_X_SERVICE_CATALOG'

This is especially true if the attribute 'include_service_catalog' is set to 'false' . The include_service_catalog is used by the keystonemiddleware . If include_service_catalog is set to false, the keystonemiddleware doesn't set the service catalog.

To replicate this problem, I did the following :

In /etc/nova/nova.conf file , I set this:
include_service_catalog = false

In /etc/nova/api-paste.ini, I enabled the audit middleware:
keystone = request_id faultwrap sizelimit authtoken keystonecontext audit osapi_compute_app_v21

[filter:audit]
paste.filter_factory = pycadf.middleware.audit:AuditMiddleware.factory
service_name = <ipaddress>:8774

Try some rest call like the below:

The above affects the capability to use auditing along with include_service_catalog = false

i think we can add an option(s) similar to service_name option we pass in above...

i'm thinking maybe:

 target_service_name
 target_service_type
 target_service_xxxx

where if anyone is defined. we consider it a service_catalog override and we'll just build service info based on given options rather than attempting to search service_catalog.

[gordon chung (chungg)]

i should clarify, i'm not really adament whether we capture these override opts in conf files or pass in via paste.

we should probably add a check which just skips everything if no service catalog and no override is given.

[gordon chung (chungg)]

i'm using changing this to the above where i will add a "enable_discovery" option -- true by default -- which will function as it currently does (using service catalog).

if false, it will look into conf file which should have defaults defined.

is this a dupe of https://bugs.launchpad.net/pycadf/+bug/1347868 ?

[gordon chung (chungg)]

i think this is when there is no service catalog at all... is that possible?

[Steve Martinelli (stevemar)]

do we support a use case where there is no service catalog? templated or sql based?

Ran into this error, any update on progress?
