From 8c9cf83efc98c61538fef0486e9f724a975fd6e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Walter Boring Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 10:38:21 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [SAP] feat: add volume history tracking Add volume history tracking to record all changes made to volumes. This includes: - VolumeHistory SQLAlchemy model - Alembic migration for volume_history table - History recording in the DB layer (create, update, destroy) - Config option volume_history_enabled to toggle the feature - Unit tests for volume history tracking - Migration test for volume_history table - SAP documentation Change-Id: Ie1fdfe47fa4e2d7133ac27b6a1cc2022ffe2fcfc --- cinder/common/config.py | 9 +- cinder/db/api.py | 5 + .../633b14d87cec_add_volume_history_table.py | 48 ++++ cinder/db/sqlalchemy/api.py | 198 +++++++++++++++- cinder/db/sqlalchemy/models.py | 21 ++ cinder/tests/unit/db/test_migrations.py | 16 ++ cinder/tests/unit/test_db_api.py | 150 +++++++++++- sap-doc/volume-history.md | 217 ++++++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 661 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 cinder/db/migrations/versions/633b14d87cec_add_volume_history_table.py create mode 100644 sap-doc/volume-history.md diff --git a/cinder/common/config.py b/cinder/common/config.py index 12593281ae9..4c2d830e481 100644 --- a/cinder/common/config.py +++ b/cinder/common/config.py @@ -140,7 +140,14 @@ help='The full class name of the consistencygroup API class'), cfg.BoolOpt('split_loggers', default=False, - help='Log requests to multiple loggers.') + help='Log requests to multiple loggers.'), + cfg.BoolOpt('volume_history_enabled', + default=True, + help='Enable volume history tracking.
