Description of common configuration options

Configuration option = Default value	Description
[DEFAULT]
backdoor_port = None	(StrOpt) Enable eventlet backdoor. Acceptable values are 0, <port>, and <start>:<end>, where 0 results in listening on a random tcp port number; <port> results in listening on the specified port number (and not enabling backdoor if that port is in use); and <start>:<end> results in listening on the smallest unused port number within the specified range of port numbers. The chosen port is displayed in the service's log file.
disable_process_locking = False	(BoolOpt) Enables or disables inter-process locks.
host = localhost	(StrOpt) Name of this node, which must be valid in an AMQP key. Can be an opaque identifier. For ZeroMQ only, must be a valid host name, FQDN, or IP address.
lock_path = None	(StrOpt) Directory to use for lock files.
memcached_servers = None	(ListOpt) Memcached servers or None for in process cache.
notification_workers = 1	(IntOpt) Number of workers for notification service. A single notification agent is enabled by default.
[central]
partitioning_group_prefix = None	(StrOpt) Work-load partitioning group prefix. Use only if you want to run multiple central agents with different config files. For each sub-group of the central agent pool with the same partitioning_group_prefix a disjoint subset of pollsters should be loaded.
[compute]
workload_partitioning = False	(BoolOpt) Enable work-load partitioning, allowing multiple compute agents to be run simultaneously.
[coordination]
backend_url = None	(StrOpt) The backend URL to use for distributed coordination. If left empty, per-deployment central agent and per-host compute agent won't do workload partitioning and will only function correctly if a single instance of that service is running.
heartbeat = 1.0	(FloatOpt) Number of seconds between heartbeats for distributed coordination (float)
