harikrishna-patnala opened a new issue #4825: URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4825
## Background There are around ~672 configuration parameters in CloudStack which is a huge list and the way admins got used to look for configuration parameters is either by string search or documentation. Most of the times we look for configuration parameters to know which are involved in specific API operation or a specific thread. The idea is to pre-process and create mappings for APIs/threads and configuration parameters. One can easily find the list of configuration parameters involved in an operation and helps in debugging an issue too. Also, this gives another view of looking for configuration parameters categorisation. ## Proposed Tasks - Get started on basic CloudStack codebase and development (building and running CloudStack) - Understand the marvin test framework on how to setup and run tests - Setup any hypervisor (VMware/KVM/XenServer) based CloudStack dev/test environment - Understand how global configurations are defined and used in CloudStack - Use marvin tests to call all the APIs and record the configuration parameters used for each API call by using wrapper around configuration framework - Deliverables: documentation and community pull request, end-to-end demo of feature ## Relevant Skills - Java and Python - Virtualization/Cloud domain knowledge and usage ## Proposed Mentor Harikrishna Patnala - Committer Apache CloudStack ## Difficulty Medium ## Potential Mentors Harikrishna Patnala - Committer Apache CloudStack Any developer from the community ### Example and references https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Configuration https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Marvin+-+Testing+with+Python#MarvinTestingwithPython-Installation ##### ISSUE TYPE - Feature Idea ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
