Message of the Day (MOTD)¶

Available since MOSK 25.1

MOSK enables a cloud operator to configure Message of the Day (MOTD) for the MOSK Dashboard (OpenStack Horizon). These short messages inform users about current infrastructure issues, upcoming maintenance, and other events, helping them plan their work with minimal service disruption.

Cloud operators can configure messages to appear before or after users log in to Horizon, or both. Messages can also be visually distinguished based on severity and support minimal HTML formatting, including links.

To define the MOTD, populate the following structure in the OpenStackDeployment custom resource:

spec:
  features:
    horizon:
      motd:
        <NAME>:
          level: <LEVEL>
          message: <MESSAGE>
          afterLogin: <true|false>
          beforeLogin: <true|false>

Parameters:

<NAME>: A unique symbolic name to distinguish messages
level: The severity level of the message. Supported values: success, info, warning, and error
beforeLogin: Boolean. If true, the message appears on the login page for unauthorized users. Default: false.
afterLogin: Boolean. If true, the message appears after users log in. Default: true.

Configuration example:

spec:
  features:
    horizon:
      motd:
        errorBefore:
          level: error
          message: "We are experiencing <b>issues</b> with the authentication provider<br>Check the status at the <a href='https://foo.bar'>status page</a>"
          afterLogin: false
          beforeLogin: true
        warnAfter:
          level: warning
          message: "Planned maintenance tomorrow"

The above configuration results in the following two messages displayed for all cloud users:
