Here are the defaults for the notification system: https://github.com/openstack/glance/blob/stable/havana/etc/glance-api.conf#L209-L217 For troubleshooting purposes, you may want to stick with the defaults. If sending ntoficiations over the bus to an endpoint such as Ceilometer is not needed, then it's not necessary to use a messaging system such as Rabbit for Glance.

This is the configuration in the glance-api.conf: notifier_strategy = rabbit # Configuration options if sending notifications via rabbitmq (these are rabbit_host = 192.168.122.201 rabbit_port = 5672 rabbit_use_ssl = false rabbit_userid = guest rabbit_password = guest rabbit_virtual_host = / rabbit_notification_exchange = glance rabbit_notification_topic = glance_notifications rabbit_durable_queues = True And this is the error I get when starting api and registry: 2013-11-21 16:03:24 1828 DEBUG glance.notifier [-] Converted strategy alias rabbit to glance.notifier.notify_kombu.RabbitStrategy __init__ /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/glance/notifier/__ini t__.py:54 2013-11-21 16:03:24 1828 CRITICAL glance [-] 'glance.notifier.notify_kombu.RabbitStrategy' is not an available notifier strategy.

I've followed the istructions from here: http://docs.openstack.org/havana/install-guide/install/yum/content/glance-install.html Using QPID instead, doesn't produce any error. thanks, Alvise -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
