Configuration File

Before executing cinderdiags, the user must create a cli.conf configuration file. The following example shows the required fields and format:

[MY-CINDER-NODE]                         # required section name - must be unique
service=cinder                           # service type = cinder or nova
host_ip=15.125.224.1                     # host system where service is running
ssh_user=admin                           # SSH credentials for host system
ssh_password=admin
conf_source=/etc/cinder/cinder.conf      # if cinder node, location of cinder config file

[MY-NOVA-NODE]
service=nova
host_ip=15.125.224.1
ssh_user=admin

By default, this file needs to exist in the /etc/cinderdiags/ directory. Alternatively, this file path can be passed into the CLI command using the argument ‘-conf-file <file path>’.
