Hi Gary,

Are you asking this just in the context of the RPC related configurations, or also for moving all the existing configuration from the plugin-specific configuration files (the ones under etc/quantum/plugins) to a single configuration file?

Moving plugin-independent common configuration to a common file makes sense to me (including the agent and/or RPC related configurations as discussed in the IRC meeting yesterday). However, I am not in favor of moving all plugin-specific configurations to a single/common file.

Thanks,
~Sumit.

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

Hi,

Background: 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.

Current developments: A number of current developments, for example notifications (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/9835/) and scalable agents (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/9591/) require RPC configurations.

>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.

Open issues:
1. I do not think that the common configuration supports mapping of name spaces to configuration files.
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.

Please let me know if you have any comments or objections. I would like to move ahead and start to work on this.

Thanks
Gary
