<div>I think that’s the idea, instead of making this assumption in the code.</div>

<div>But I wonder why the static physical configuration file use a different format from vitrage template definitions[1]

<div>What do you mean? The purpose of the templates is to describe the condition-action behaviour, wheres the purpose of the static configuration is to define resources to be added to vitrage graph. Can you please explain how you would make the formats more
similar? </div>
