Services Extension Documentation

Description

The services extension for Nova is a tool to provide additional visibility into a running Nova installation, providing metrics, version information, and a breakdown of instances by hostmachine.

Installation

Server-Side

To use the service plugin, you must install the server-side extension into the nova/api/openstack/compute/contrib directory and then restart the API server.

Client-Side

To use the service plugin from novaclient, you must install the novaclient extension. The easiest way to do this is to run:

pip install rax_services_python_novaclient_ext.
