[Starlingx-discuss] How is Barbican being used in StarlingX?

[Yong Hu]

Hi Alex and Jerry,
Thanks much! Your answers addressed my questions mostly.

Though, I still wondered whether currently barbican-keystone-listener 
actually works in StarlingX, because even I turned on the debug flag, I 
didn't see log output from "class NotificationTask -> process_event" in 
"barbican/queue/keystone_listener.py", where there is supposedly some 
debug log about the incoming notification before handling 
"operation_type == 'deleted'".

Have we ever tested this feature before?

regards,
Yong
