OpenStack REST API output missing real IPs [closed]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to OpenStack and have been reading the documentation and testing some of the REST APIs that are exposed. I have been able to get the basics working and have been able to invoke the APIs from a REST client.

One such API I'm trying is fetching endpoints for a particular tenant as noted here http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-identity-v2.html (http://developer.openstack.org/api-re...) with a GET request for http://IP:5000/v2.0/tokens/myvalidtoken/endpoints (http://IP:5000/v2.0/tokens/myvalidtok...) with the X-Auth-Token header set to my valid token. The JSON output it generates is as follows (just the relevant parts):

{
 "name": "nova",
 "adminURL": "http://controller:8774/v2/fef6a56cb3ec4adca49d769b604ae572",
 "internalURL": "http://controller:8774/v2/fef6a56cb3ec4adca49d769b604ae572",
 "publicURL": "http://controller:8774/v2/fef6a56cb3ec4adca49d769b604ae572",
 "type": "compute",
....
}

Why do the URLs have "controller" in there instead of an IP?

They are there because you created the endpoint with that address. Most of the guides use "controller" as the hostname. You may have copied and pasted the endpoint creation. You can delete that endpoint and create a new nova endpoint with the appropriate hostname.
