Hi Neil,<br>
<br>
You basically answered your own question above :) The neutron request <br>
context gets built from oslo.context's Context.from_environ() [1] which <br>
has this note in the implementation [2]:<br>
<br>
# Load a new context object from the environment variables set by<br>
# auth_token middleware. See:<br>
# <br>
<a href="https://docs.openstack.org/keystonemiddleware/latest/api/keystonemiddleware.auth_token.html#what-auth-token-adds-to-the-request-for-use-by-the-openstack-service" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.openstack.org/keystonemiddleware/latest/api/keystonemiddleware.auth_token.html#what-auth-token-adds-to-the-request-for-use-by-the-openstack-service</a><br>
<br>
So, basically, simply look at the HTTP headers for HTTP_X_PROJECT_NAME. <br>
If you don't have access to a HTTP headers, then you'll need to pass <br>
some context object/struct to the code you're referring to. Might as <br>
well pass the neutron RequestContext (derived from oslo_context.Context) <br>
to the code you're referring to and you get all this for free.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

To do that, I have an independent eventlet thread that runs in admin context and occasionally queries Neutron resources, e.g. all the ports.
