<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
Can people please raise their concerns about moving all of the plugin.ini files into quantum.conf.<br>
This will solve us a number of problems. Please let me know if you have any reservations.<br>
Thanks<br>
Gary<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
<b>Background</b>: The quantum service makes use of the configuration file quantum.conf. In addition to this there is a common configuration file shared between the plugin and the agent (plugin.ini). The aforementioned files are loaded by the common configuration
files.<br>
<br>
<b>Current developments</b>: A number of current developments, for example notifications (<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/9835/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/9835/</a>) and scalable agents (<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/9591/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/9591/</a>)
require RPC configurations. <br>
<br>
>From the discussion last night the community the consensus is to have the common configuration items that may be relevant to one or more agent/plugin in the quantum configuration file. This change will require the agents to also load the quantum.conf configuration
files.<br>
<br>
<b>Open issues</b>:<br>
1. I do not think that the common configuration supports mapping of name spaces to configuration files.<br>
2. Configuration file loading. With the plugins the configuration files are loaded in two stages. If possible it would be great that the files could be loaded at once - this can be done by listing the plugin/agent ini file(s) in the quantum.conf. When this
is loaded then the other files will be loaded. <br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have any comments or objections. I would like to move ahead and start to work on this.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Gary<br>
