Name

       ganeti-rapi - Ganeti remote API daemon

Synopsis

       ganeti-rapi [-d] [-f] [-p PORT] [-b ADDRESS] [-i INTERFACE]
       [--max-clients CLIENTS] [--no-ssl] [-K SSL_KEY_FILE]
       [-C SSL_CERT_FILE] | [--require-authentication]

DESCRIPTION

       ganeti-rapi is the daemon providing a remote API for Ganeti clusters.

       It  is automatically started on the master node, and by default it uses SSL encryption.  This can be dis‐
       abled by passing the --no-ssl option, or alternatively the certificate used can be changed via the -C op‐
       tion and the key via the -K option.

       The daemon will listen to the "ganeti-rapi" TCP port, as listed in the system services  database,  or  if
       not  defined,  to port 5080 by default.  The port can be overridded by passing the -p option.  The -b op‐
       tion can be used to specify the address to bind to (defaults to 0.0.0.0).  Note that if you  specify  the
       address,  the  watcher needs to be informed about it using its option --rapi-ip, otherwise it will not be
       able to reach the RAPI interface and will attempt to restart it all the time.  Alternatively  to  setting
       the IP with --b, the -i option can be used to specify the interface to bind do.

       The  maximum  number  of simultaneous client connections may be configured with the --max-clients option.
       This defaults to 20.  Connections above this count are accepted, but no responses are sent  until  enough
       connections are closed.

       See the Ganeti remote API documentation for further information.

       Requests  are  logged  to  /var/log/ganeti/rapi-daemon.log, in the same format as for the node and master
       daemon.

ACCESS CONTROLS

       Most query operations are allowed without authentication.  Only the modification operations  require  au‐
       thentication,  in  the  form  of basic authentication.  Specify the --require-authentication command line
       flag to always require authentication.

       The users and their rights are defined in the /var/lib/ganeti/rapi/users file.  The format of  this  file
       is described in the Ganeti documentation (rapi.html).
