Ankur (ankur-gupta-f) wrote : Limits and Counts for SecGroup and FIPs

[Problem]

As stated in recently submitted bug to OpenStack Client:
OpenStack limits --absolute shows wrong count for 'totalSecurityGroupsUsed'. Despite creating multiple security groups still, the count shows as 1.

openstack security group create <name> uses neutron API to create security group
openstack limits show --absolute fetches the information from nova api. Since nova-network has been deprecated and current devstack installation runs with neutron as default, it's better to change the way how how openstack limits show fetches its information

[Proposal]

Similar to Mitaka feature of IP Capacity. Provide an admin only feature to return the number of Security Groups, Security Group Rules, Floating IPs used and their absolute limits.
