Quota Cache
-----------
-Quota statistics are cached on each RGW instance. If there are multiple
-instances, then the cache can keep quotas from being perfectly enforced, as
-each instance will have a different view of quotas. The options that control
-this are ``rgw bucket quota ttl``, ``rgw user quota bucket sync interval`` and
-``rgw user quota sync interval``. The higher these values are, the more
-efficient quota operations are, but the more out-of-sync multiple instances
-will be. The lower these values are, the closer to perfect enforcement
-multiple instances will achieve. If all three are 0, then quota caching is
-effectively disabled, and multiple instances will have perfect quota
-enforcement. See `Ceph Object Gateway Config Reference`_
+Quota statistics are cached by each RGW instance. If multiple RGW instances are
+deployed, then this cache may prevent quotas from being perfectly enforced,
+because each instance may have a different set of quota settings.
+
+Here are the options that control this behavior:
+
+:confval:`rgw_bucket_quota_ttl`
+:confval:`rgw_user_quota_bucket_sync_interval`
+:confval:`rgw_user_quota_sync_interval`
+
+Increasing these values will make quota operations more efficient at the cost
+of increasing the likelihood that the multiple RGW instances may not
+consistently have the latest quota settings. Decreasing these values brings
+the multiple RGW instances closer to perfect quota synchronization.
+
+If all three values are set to ``0`` , then quota caching is effectively
+disabled, and multiple instances will have perfect quota enforcement. See
+`Ceph Object Gateway Config Reference`_.

be restarted for the changes to take effect.
Rate Limit Management
=====================
-The Ceph Object Gateway makes it possible to set rate limits on users and
-buckets. "Rate limit" includes the maximum number of read operations (read
-ops) and write operations (write ops) per minute and the number of bytes per
-minute that can be written or read per user or per bucket.

+limit" includes the maximum number of read operations (read ops) and write
+operations (write ops) per minute as well as the number of bytes per minute
+that can be written or read per user or per bucket.
+Read Requests and Write Requests
+--------------------------------
Operations that use the ``GET`` method or the ``HEAD`` method in their REST
requests are "read requests". All other requests are "write requests".
+How Metrics Work
+----------------
Each object gateway tracks per-user metrics separately from bucket metrics.
These metrics are not shared with other gateways. The configured limits should
be divided by the number of active object gateways. For example, if "user A" is
to be be limited to 10 ops per minute and there are two object gateways in the

Set User Rate Limit
-------------------
-Before you enable a rate limit, you must first set the rate limit parameters.
-For example::
+Before you can enable a rate limit, you must first set the rate limit
+parameters. The following is the general form of commands that set rate limit
+parameters:
- radosgw-admin ratelimit set --ratelimit-scope=user --uid=<uid> <[--max-read-ops=<num ops>] [--max-read-bytes=<num bytes>]
- [--max-write-ops=<num ops>] [--max-write-bytes=<num bytes>]>
+.. prompt:: bash
+
+ radosgw-admin ratelimit set --ratelimit-scope=user --uid=<uid>
+ <[--max-read-ops=<num ops>] [--max-read-bytes=<num bytes>]
+ [--max-write-ops=<num ops>] [--max-write-bytes=<num bytes>]>
-For example::
+An example of using ``radosgw-admin ratelimit set`` to set a rate limit might
+look like this:
- radosgw-admin ratelimit set --ratelimit-scope=user --uid=johndoe --max-read-ops=1024 --max-write-bytes=10240
+.. prompt:: bash
+ radosgw-admin ratelimit set --ratelimit-scope=user --uid=johndoe --max-read-ops=1024 --max-write-bytes=10240
-A 0 value for num ops and / or num bytes means that the
-specific rate limit attribute check is disabled.
+
+A value of ``0`` assigned to ``--max-read-ops``, ``--max-read-bytes``,
+``--max-write-ops``, or ``--max-write-bytes`` disables the specified rate
+limit.
Get User Rate Limit
-------------------
-Get the current configured rate limit parameters
-For example::
+The ``radosgw-admin ratelimit get`` command returns the currently configured
+rate limit parameters.
+
+The following is the general form of the command that returns the current
+configured limit parameters:
+
+.. prompt:: bash
+
+ radosgw-admin ratelimit get --ratelimit-scope=user --uid=<uid>
- radosgw-admin ratelimit get --ratelimit-scope=user --uid=<uid>

-For example::
+.. prompt:: bash
- radosgw-admin ratelimit get --ratelimit-scope=user --uid=johndoe
+ radosgw-admin ratelimit get --ratelimit-scope=user --uid=johndoe
+A value of ``0`` assigned to ``--max-read-ops``, ``--max-read-bytes``,

+Enable and Disable User Rate Limit
+----------------------------------
-Enable/Disable User Rate Limit
-------------------------------
+After you have set a user rate limit, you must enable it in order for it to
+take effect. Run a command of the following form to enable a user rate limit:
-Once you set a user rate limit, you may enable it. For example::
+.. prompt:: bash
- radosgw-admin ratelimit enable --ratelimit-scope=user --uid=<uid>
+ radosgw-admin ratelimit enable --ratelimit-scope=user --uid=<uid>
-You may disable an enabled user rate limit. For example::
+To disable an enabled user rate limit, run a command of the following form:

+.. prompt:: bash
+
+ radosgw-admin ratelimit disable --ratelimit-scope=user --uid=johndoe
Set Bucket Rate Limit
---------------------
Before you enable a rate limit, you must first set the rate limit parameters.
-For example::
+The following is the general form of commands that set rate limit parameters:

+.. prompt:: bash
- radosgw-admin ratelimit set --ratelimit-scope=bucket --bucket=mybucket --max-read-ops=1024 --max-write-bytes=10240
+ radosgw-admin ratelimit set --ratelimit-scope=bucket --bucket=mybucket --max-read-ops=1024 --max-write-bytes=10240
