Introduction

The F5 Agent for OpenStack Neutron is an OpenStack Neutron plugin agent. It works in conjunction with the F5 driver for OpenStack LBaaSv2 to manage F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) services via the OpenStack Neutron API.

Documentation

Documentation is published on clouddocs.f5.com.

Compatibility

The F5 Agent for OpenStack Neutron is compatible with OpenStack releases from Liberty forward.

See the F5 OpenStack Releases and Support Matrix for more information.

Installing the F5 Agent

Please see the product documentation.

Using the Built-in Debugger

Use the built-in debugger -- debug_bundler.py -- to package information about your environment for debugging purposes.

When the you install f5-openstack-agent, the debug_bundler.py script installs itself in /usr/bin/f5/. When you run the debugger, it searches for log and config files and dumps a complete listing of the pip lists output. The debugger bundles everything it finds into a tarfile that you can provide to F5's support representatives to assist them in identifying the cause of your issue.


WARNING

The files added to the debug bundle may contain VERY SENSITIVE INFORMATION such as encryption keys, passwords, and usernames. Do not upload this bundle, or any information within, to a public forum unless you have thoroughly scrubbed sensitive information. When in doubt, don't upload it at all.


Basic usage with the default command-line arguments

The command below creates a .tar file in the specified directory (in this example, /home/myuser/debug_bundle_output/) containing all logs and configuration files the script found. The script offers a best-effort search of the specified directories. If it cannot find the log files it is looking for in those directories, it prints an error message and continues to run.

$ python /usr/bin/f5/debug_bundler.py /home/myuser/debug_bundle_output/

Override log/config file locations

The default log location is /var/log/neutron. The default configuration file location is /etc/neutron.

To override the log and/or config file locations, use the command-line arguments shown below:

$ python /usr/bin/f5/debug_bundler.py --log-dir=/var/log/mylogs --config-dir /etc/myconfigs/ ~/

Issues

If you find any issues with the debug_bundler, please file an issue.

For Developers

Filing Issues

If you find an issue, we would love to hear about it. Please file an issue in this repository. Use the issue template to tell us as much as you can about what you found, how you found it, your environment, etc. Admins will triage your issue and assign it for a fix based on the priority level assigned. We also welcome you to file issues for feature requests.

Contributing

See Contributing.

Testing

Before you open a pull request, your code must have passing pytest unit tests. In addition, you should include a set of functional tests written to use an actual BIG-IP device for testing. Information on how to run our test set is included below.

Style Checks

We use the hacking module for our style checks.

$ pip install tox
$ tox -e style

Unit Tests

We use tox to run our pytest unit tests.

To run the unit tests, use the tox unit environment.

$ pip install tox
$ tox -e unit

Functional Tests

You can run functional tests without a full OpenStack deployment. They do require access to a BIG-IP device or BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) instance.

  1. Copy and edit the symbols.json.example with the correct values for your BIG-IP device.

  2. Run tox -e functest with the --symbols flag pointing to your updates symbols.json file.

    For example, the command below calls the symbols file and runs the neutronless/disconnected_service functional test cases. The tox target changes to the [test/functional](test/functional) directory before the tests run.

$ tox -e functest -- \
  --symbols ~/path/to/symbols/symbols.json \
  neutronless/disconnected_service
