[Learn about configurations >](https://juju.is/docs/juju/configuration#heading--application-configuration)

* action-managed-upgrade | boolean

  If True enables openstack upgrades for this charm via juju actions.
  You will still need to set openstack-origin to the new repository but
  instead of an upgrade running automatically across all units, it will
  wait for you to execute the openstack-upgrade action for this charm on
  each unit. If False it will revert to existing behavior of upgrading
  all units on config change.
* also-notifies | string

  Space delimited list of DNS servers which should be notified on every
  zone change in addition to the backend servers. List is of the form
  also\_notify\_ip:also\_notify\_port
* api-page-limit | string

  Default: 20

  Limit of per-page result retrieved by the V2 API used by the
  dashboard. Default is 20. An empty string value means no limit
  and all results shall be retrieved.
* debug | boolean

  Enable debug logging
* default-soa-expire | int

  Default: 86400

  Default SOA expire value (in seconds) to specify how long a
  secondary will still treat its copy of the zone data as valid if
  it can't contact the primary.
* default-soa-minimum | int

  Default SOA minimum value (in seconds) how long should cache a negative
  response.
* default-soa-refresh-max | int

  SOA refresh indicates the time (in seconds) when the slave will try to
  refresh the zone from the master, Designate randomizes the refresh time
  using `default-soa-refresh-min` and `default-soa-refresh-max` as lower
  and upper boundaries respectively.
* default-soa-refresh-min | int

  SOA refresh indicates the time (in seconds) when the slave will try to
  refresh the zone from the master, Designate randomizes the refresh time
  using `default-soa-refresh-min` and `default-soa-refresh-max` as lower
  and upper boundaries respectively.
* default-soa-retry | int

  Defines the time (in seconds) between retries for the SOA record if the
  slave (secondary) fails to contact the master when refresh has expired.
* default-ttl | int

  designate-bind charm is the prefered approach.

  configurations. If not provided, default value of 90000ms is used.

* nagios\_context | string

  Default: juju

  A string that will be prepended to instance name to set the host name

  juju-myservice-0
  If you're running multiple environments with the same services in them
