[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.
* cell-name | string

  Name of the compute cell this controller is associated with. If this is
  left unset or set to api then it is assumed that this controller will be
  the top level api and cell0 controller.
* config-flags | string

  Comma-separated list of key=value config flags. These values will be
  placed in the nova.conf [DEFAULT] section.
* debug | boolean

  Enable debug logging.
* dns-ha | boolean

  Use DNS HA with MAAS 2.0. Note if this is set do not set vip settings
  below.
* haproxy-client-timeout | int

  Client timeout configuration in ms for haproxy, used in HA
  configurations. If not provided, default value of 90000ms is used.
* haproxy-connect-timeout | int

  Connect timeout configuration in ms for haproxy, used in HA
  configurations. If not provided, default value of 9000ms is used.
* haproxy-queue-timeout | int

  Queue timeout configuration in ms for haproxy, used in HA
  configurations. If not provided, default value of 9000ms is used.
* haproxy-server-timeout | int

  Server timeout configuration in ms for haproxy, used in HA
  configurations. If not provided, default value of 90000ms is used.
* harden | string

  Apply system hardening. Supports a space-delimited list of modules
  to run. Supported modules currently include os, ssh, apache and mysql.
* nagios\_context | string

  Default: juju

  Used by the nrpe-external-master subordinate charm.
  A string that will be prepended to instance name to set the host name
  in nagios. So for instance the hostname would be something like:
  .
  juju-myservice-0
  .
  If you're running multiple environments with the same services in them
  this allows you to differentiate between them.
* nagios\_servicegroups | string

  A comma-separated list of nagios servicegroups. If left empty, the
  nagios\_context will be used as the servicegroup.
* network-manager | string

  Default: FlatDHCPManager

  Network manager for the cloud; supports the following options:
  .
  FlatDHCPManager (nova-network) (default)
  FlatManager (nova-network)
  Neutron (Full SDN solution)
  .
  When using the Neutron option you will most likely want to use
  the neutron-gateway charm to provide L3 routing and DHCP Services.
* nova-alchemy-flags | string

  Comma-separated list of key=value sqlalchemy related config flags to be
  set in nova.conf [database] section.
* openstack-origin | string

  Default: yoga

  Repository from which to install. May be one of the following:
  distro (default), ppa:somecustom/ppa, a deb url sources entry,
  or a supported Ubuntu Cloud Archive e.g.
  .
  cloud:<series>-<openstack-release>
  cloud:<series>-<openstack-release>/updates
  cloud:<series>-<openstack-release>/staging
  cloud:<series>-<openstack-release>/proposed
  .
  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/CloudArchive for info on which
  cloud archives are available and supported.
  .
  NOTE: updating this setting to a source that is known to provide
  a later version of OpenStack will trigger a software upgrade unless
  action-managed-upgrade is set to True.
* os-admin-hostname | string

  The hostname or address of the admin endpoints created in the keystone
  identity provider.
  .
  This value will be used for admin endpoints. For example, an
  os-admin-hostname set to 'api-admin.example.com' with ssl enabled
  will create the following endpoint for neutron-api:
  .
  https://api-admin.example.com:9696/
* os-admin-network | string

  The IP address and netmask of the OpenStack Admin network (e.g.,
  192.168.0.0/24)
  .
  This network will be used for admin endpoints.
* os-internal-hostname | string

  The hostname or address of the internal endpoints created in the keystone
  identity provider.
  .
  This value will be used for internal endpoints. For example, an
  os-internal-hostname set to 'api-internal.example.com' with ssl enabled
  will create the following endpoint for neutron-api:
  .
  https://api-internal.example.com:9696/
* os-internal-network | string

  The IP address and netmask of the OpenStack Internal network (e.g.,
  192.168.0.0/24)
  .
  This network will be used for internal endpoints.
* os-public-hostname | string

  The hostname or address of the public endpoints created in the keystone
  identity provider.
  .
  This value will be used for public endpoints. For example, an
  os-public-hostname set to 'api-public.example.com' with ssl enabled
  will create the following endpoint for neutron-api:
  .
  https://api-public.example.com:9696/
* os-public-network | string

  The IP address and netmask of the OpenStack Public network (e.g.,
  192.168.0.0/24)
  .
  This network will be used for public endpoints.
* region | string

  Default: RegionOne

  OpenStack Region
* ssl\_ca | string

  TLS CA to use to communicate with other components in a deployment.
  .
  **NOTE**: This configuration option will take precedence over any
  certificates received over the `certificates` relation.
* ssl\_cert | string

  TLS certificate to install and use for any listening services.
  .
  **NOTE**: This configuration option will take precedence over any
  certificates received over the `certificates` relation.
* ssl\_key | string

  TLS key to use with certificate specified as `ssl_cert`.
  .
  **NOTE**: This configuration option will take precedence over any
  certificates received over the `certificates` relation.
* use-internal-endpoints | boolean

  Openstack mostly defaults to using public endpoints for
  internal communication between services. If set to True this option
  will configure services to use internal endpoints where possible.
* use-syslog | boolean

  Setting this to True will allow supporting services to log to syslog.
* verbose | boolean

  Enable verbose logging.
* vip | string

  network, separated by spaces.

  Default CIDR netmask to use for HA vip when it cannot be automatically
  determined.
* vip\_iface | string

  automatically determined.
* worker-multiplier | float

  The CPU core multiplier to use when configuring worker processes. By
  default, the number of workers for each daemon is set to twice the number
  of CPU cores a service unit has. This default value will be capped
  to 4 workers unless this configuration option is set.
