Default developer use case to systemd
This moves the developer use case over to systemd, and updates all the relevant docs to discuss the systemd workflow instead of screen. It does so by defaulting USE_SCREEN=False, so will not impact people that set it explicitly. Change-Id: I6d664612bc2b850eb7f56852afbc841867223ab7

Logging the Service Output
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
DevStack will log the ``stdout`` output of the services it starts.
|
||||
When using ``screen`` this logs the output in the screen windows to a
|
||||
file. Without ``screen`` this simply redirects stdout of the service
|
||||
process to a file in ``LOGDIR``.
|
||||
By default, services run under ``systemd`` and are natively logging to
|
||||
the systemd journal.
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
To query the logs use the ``journalctl`` command, such as::
|
||||
|
||||
LOGDIR=$DEST/logs
|
||||
|
||||
Note the use of ``DEST`` to locate the main install directory; this
|
||||
is why we suggest setting it in ``local.conf``.
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling Syslog
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Logging all services to a single syslog can be convenient. Enable
|
||||
syslogging by setting ``SYSLOG`` to ``True``. If the destination log
|
||||
host is not localhost ``SYSLOG_HOST`` and ``SYSLOG_PORT`` can be used
|
||||
to direct the message stream to the log host.

Inspecting Services
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
By default most services in DevStack are running in a `screen
|
||||
<https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/screen.html>`_
|
||||
session.
|
||||
By default most services in DevStack are running as `systemd` units
|
||||
named `devstack@$servicename.service`. You can see running services
|
||||
with.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash

||||

||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||
sudo systemctl status --unit="devstack@*"
|
||||
|
||||
You can attach to this screen session using ``screen -r`` which gives
|
||||
you a view of the services in action.

|
||||
|
||||
Basic Screen Commands
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The following minimal commands will be useful to using screen:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``ctrl-a n`` - go to next window. Next is assumed to be right of
|
||||
current window.
|
||||
* ``ctrl-a p`` - go to previous window. Previous is assumed to be left
|
||||
of current window.
|
||||
* ``ctrl-a [`` - entry copy/scrollback mode. This allows you to
|
||||
navigate back through the logs with the up arrow.
|
||||
* ``ctrl-a d`` - detach from screen. Gets you back to a normal
|
||||
terminal, while leaving everything running.
|
||||
|
||||
For more about using screen, see the excellent `screen manual
|
||||
<https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/screen.html>`_.

Patching a Service
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to make a quick change to a running service the easiest
|
||||
way to do this is:
|
||||
way to do that is to change the code directly in /opt/stack/$service
|
||||
and then restart the affected daemons.
|
||||
|
||||
* attach to screen
|
||||
* navigate to the window in question
|
||||
* ``ctrl-c`` to kill the service
|
||||
* make appropriate changes to the code
|
||||
* ``up arrow`` in the screen window to display the command used to run
|
||||
that service
|
||||
* ``enter`` to restart the service
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
This works for services, except those running under Apache (currently
|
||||
just ``keystone`` by default).
|
||||
sudo systemctl restart --unit=devstack@n-cpu.service
|
||||
|
||||
If your change impacts more than one daemon you can restart by
|
||||
wildcard as well.
