💖 swift-object-auditor(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about swift-object-auditor from the OpenStack Swift manual — yes, the manual, section one, we're being fancy. this is the object auditor, and it's lowkey the most diligent little gremlin in your whole storage cluster. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

swift-object-auditor — the OpenStack Swift object auditor, no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

swift-object-auditor [CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [-o|--once]
[-z|--zero_byte_fps]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: the object auditor crawls the local object system checking the integrity of objects. like, it's going door to door through your objects making sure nothing's sus. 🕵️‍♀️

and if corruption is found — think bit rot, for example — the file gets quarantined, and then replication will replace the bad file from another replica. so basically the auditor catches the ick, quarantines it, and replication comes through with a fresh copy. iconic teamwork fr fr. ✨

The options are as follows:

• -v, --verbose — log to console. it's giving "tell me everything, i want the tea" ☕
• -o, --once — only run one pass of daemon. one and done, we love a one-pass queen 👑
• -z ZERO_BYTE_FPS, --zero_byte_fps=ZERO_BYTE_FPS — audit only zero byte files, at the specified files/sec. so you pick the speed, and it only looks at the zero-byte girlies 🎀

reminder bestie: -h and --help are right there in the synopsis, so they're part of the lineup too 💖
