swift-recon(1) Openstack-swift recon middleware cli tool

SYNOPSIS

swift-recon  <server_type> [-v] [--suppress] [-a] [-r] [-u] [-d] [-l] [-T] [--md5] [--auditor] [--updater] [--expirer] [--sockstat]

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.

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
