You have been subscribed to a public bug: Dear all,
Following a quick thread on the openstack-discuss ML[1], I would like to request a new feature: Hook script support for Neutron agents. The Why: Neutron doesn't know about containers, and just kills processes whenever it doesn't need them, keeping dangling containers. This can lead to some issues, among them: - disk space usage - "failed" containers (exit-code 137 instead of a clean 0) - issues when validating container state in CI[2] - possible issue starting a new container due to name already used (not yet seen, but might occur) The What: Currently, launching an agent already supports a so-called "wrapper" (script). The current use in TripleO is to start a new container with the right options. Adding such a feature for the "stop" part would allow to do more than just kill the process: - clean up the configuration (in bare-metal use) - clean up temporary files (in bare-metal use) - clean up the container(s) instead of keeping them in failed state The How: Apparently, it might be possible to take advantage of the "get_stop_command" parameter for the "external_process.ProcessMonitor"[3]. Thank you! Cheers, C.
