------------------------------------------------
Summary: Mapping existing configuration parameters to the APIs
Key: CLOUDSTACK-10431
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-10431
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: API, Management Server
Reporter: Harikrishna Patnala
Hello students,
The following improvement will be a good addition to CloudStack and helps you
learning a good product on a broad view.
Background:
Cloudstack has global settings in which there are around 672 configuration
parameters. Using these parameters one can adjust the values according to the
need of the environment. For example "allow.duplicate.networkname" default
value of this parameter is true, which means networks can be created with same
name in an account. If the value is set to false then duplicate network names
are not allowed.
Problem statement:
When admin wants to change the API behaviour or during debugging an issue,
admin has to search for the corresponding configuration parameter. The only way
currently everyone is using is by using string search or looking into
corresponding documentation. Searching over 672 configuration parameters which
is a huge list is not straight forward or may lead to missing few parameters.
Solution:
To address this problem I would like to propose the solution which maps the
configurations parameters to the corresponding APIs. One can know what are the
configuration parameters involved for a specific API. For example
"createNetwork" API will be mapped to "allow.duplicate.networkname". When admin
wants to see what are the configuration parameters used for "createNetwork" API
, this mapping will help. In the final result we will have a table with APIs in
one column and configuration parameters in another column.
Skills Required:
* Java
* Python

Good luck.
