The policy of giving projects vanity domains stopped about 5 years ago. swift.openstack.org is a redirect to the canonical location - docs.openstack.org/developer/swift. While we are not aiming to remove the redirect any time in the forseeable future due to existing published links pointing to it, we should at the very least stop adding more of those links to the world.

|

|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
This is one of the swift-dispersion utilities that is used to evaluate the
|
|
overall cluster health. This is accomplished by checking if a set of
|
|
deliberately distributed containers and objects are currently in their
|
|
proper places within the cluster.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
For instance, a common deployment has three replicas of each object.
|
|
The health of that object can be measured by checking if each replica
|
|
is in its proper place. If only 2 of the 3 is in place the object's health
|
|
can be said to be at 66.66%, where 100% would be perfect.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
We need to place the containers and objects throughout the system so
|
|
that they are on distinct partitions. The \fBswift-dispersion-populate\fR tool
|
|
does this by making up random container and object names until they fall
|
|
on distinct partitions. Last, and repeatedly for the life of the cluster,
|
|
we need to run the \fBswift-dispersion-report\fR tool to check the health of each
|
|
of these containers and objects.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
These tools need direct access to the entire cluster and to the ring files.
|
|
Installing them on a proxy server will probably do or a box used for swift
|
|
administration purposes that also contains the common swift packages and ring.
|
|
Both \fBswift-dispersion-populate\fR and \fBswift-dispersion-report\fR use the
|
|
same configuration file, /etc/swift/dispersion.conf . The account used by these
|
|
tool should be a dedicated account for the dispersion stats and also have admin
|
|
privileges.
