rgw_host

The host for the Ceph Object Gateway instance. Can be an IP address or a hostname.

String

0.0.0.0

rgw_port

Port the instance listens for requests. If not specified, Ceph Object Gateway runs external FastCGI.

String

None

rgw_dns_name

The DNS name of the served domain. See also the hostnames setting within zone groups.

String

None

rgw_script_uri

The alternative value for the SCRIPT_URI if not set in the request.

None

rgw_request_uri

The alternative value for the REQUEST_URI if not set in the request.

String

None

rgw_print_continue

Enable 100-continue if it is operational.

Boolean

true

rgw_remote_addr_param

The remote address parameter. For example, the HTTP field containing the remote address, or the X-Forwarded-For address if a reverse proxy is operational.

String

REMOTE_ADDR

rgw_op_thread_timeout

The timeout in seconds for open threads.

Integer

600

rgw_op_thread_suicide_timeout

The timeout in seconds before a Ceph Object Gateway process dies. Disabled if set to 0.

Integer

0

rgw_thread_pool_size

The size of the thread pool.

Integer

512 threads.

rgw_num_control_oids

The number of notification objects used for cache synchronization between different rgw instances.

Integer

8

rgw_init_timeout

The number of seconds before Ceph Object Gateway gives up on initialization.

Integer

30

rgw_mime_types_file

The path and location of the MIME types. Used for Swift auto-detection of object types.

String

/etc/mime.types

rgw_gc_max_objs

The maximum number of objects that may be handled by garbage collection in one garbage collection processing cycle.

Integer

32

rgw_gc_obj_min_wait

The minimum wait time before the object may be removed and handled by garbage collection processing.

Integer

2 * 3600

rgw_gc_processor_max_time

The maximum time between the beginning of two consecutive garbage collection processing cycles.

Integer

3600

rgw_gc_processor_period

The cycle time for garbage collection processing.

Integer

3600

rgw_s3 success_create_obj_status

The alternate success status response for create-obj.

Integer

0

rgw_resolve_cname

Whether rgw should use the DNS CNAME record of the request hostname field (if hostname is not equal to rgw_dns name).

Boolean

false

rgw_object_stripe_size

The size of an object stripe for Ceph Object Gateway objects.

Integer

4 << 20

rgw_extended_http_attrs

Add a new set of attributes that could be set on an object. These extra attributes can be set through HTTP header fields when putting the objects. If set, these attributes will return as HTTP fields when doing GET/HEAD on the object.

String

None. For example: "content_foo, content_bar"

rgw_exit_timeout_secs

Number of seconds to wait for a process before exiting unconditionally.

Integer

120

rgw_get_obj_window_size

The window size in bytes for a single object request.

Integer

16 << 20

rgw_get_obj_max_req_size

The maximum request size of a single get operation sent to the Ceph Storage Cluster.

Integer

4 << 20

rgw_relaxed_s3_bucket_names

Enables relaxed S3 bucket names rules for zone group buckets.

Boolean

false

rgw_list buckets_max_chunk

The maximum number of buckets to retrieve in a single operation when listing user buckets.

Integer

1000

rgw_override_bucket_index_max_shards

The number of shards for the bucket index object. A value of 0 indicates there is no sharding. IBM does not recommend setting a value too large (for example, 1000) as it increases the cost for bucket listing.

This variable should be set in the [client] or the [global] section so it is automatically applied to radosgw-admin commands.

Integer

0

rgw_curl_wait_timeout_ms

The timeout in milliseconds for certain curl calls.

Integer

1000

rgw_copy_obj_progress

Enables output of object progress during long copy operations.

Boolean

false

rgw_bucket_default_quota_max_objects

The default maximum number of objects per bucket. This value is set on new users if no other quota is specified. It has no effect on existing users.

This variable should be set in the [client] or the [global] section so it is automatically applied to radosgw-admin commands.
