systemd init scripts not setting correct conf file

[Andrew Bramley]

In january the trove install packages were changed to use systemd in this commit:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/openstack-trove/wily/revision/21
This caused all services to startup using the same configuration file.

trove 16464 1 0 Nov13 ? 00:09:24 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/trove-api --config-file=/etc/trove/trove.conf --log-file=/var/log/trove/trove-api.log
trove 16510 1 0 Nov13 ? 00:09:13 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/trove-conductor --config-file=/etc/trove/trove.conf --log-file=/var/log/trove/trove-conductor.log
trove 16574 16464 0 Nov13 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/trove-api --config-file=/etc/trove/trove.conf --log-file=/var/log/trove/trove-api.log
trove 16575 16464 0 Nov13 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/trove-api --config-file=/etc/trove/trove.conf --log-file=/var/log/trove/trove-api.log
trove 16576 16510 0 Nov13 ? 00:00:02 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/trove-conductor --config-file=/etc/trove/trove.conf --log-file=/var/log/trove/trove-conductor.log
trove 16579 16510 0 Nov13 ? 00:00:02 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/trove-conductor --config-file=/etc/trove/trove.conf --log-file=/var/log/trove/trove-conductor.log
trove 28190 1 0 14:32 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/trove-taskmanager --config-file=/etc/trove/trove.conf --log-file=/var/log/trove/trove-taskmanager.log

You will notice that all services are using trove.conf when they should be using trove-conductor.conf, trove-taskmanager.conf etc

The *.init.in files need updating to include settings like: CONFIG_FILE=/etc/${PROJECT_NAME}/trove-taskmanager.conf

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

James,

Can you assist?

Thanks,

Pushed fixes to master branch for newton packages; not quite sure how we managed to miss this bug (I found it having read the trove part of the install guide) so apologies for the lag.

[Pete MacKinnon (pmackinn)]

Actually oslo_config should compute and search for the appropriate config files for you. For example, in the case of trove-taskmanager, it will take the program name ("trove-taskmanager"), prepend it with a dir based on the project name ("/etc/trove"), and append the ".conf" extension.

['/usr/share/trove/trove-dist.conf',
 None,
 '/etc/trove/trove.conf',
 '/etc/trove/trove-taskmanager.conf']

Thus, it shouldn't be necessary to specify the config file at all given a standard install. YMMV
