Open Stack

Thanks to the Ana Krivokapic's comment in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/1271151 I've found a typo in my
code, so it's not Horizon's bug but mine. So, the original approach I used
for augmenting openstack_dashboard settings (which is described in the
initial letter of this thread) works fine, and it's still more flexible
than a new Horizon's mechanism for adding separate dashboards settings, so
we'll stick to our approach. Just to keep you informed :).

Also, the thing that bothered me most when I thought about how Murano could
use this new Horizon's config facility, is changing DATABASES parameter
(muranodashboard app needs it to be set) - and more generally, resolving
conflicts when different dashboards change some common parameters (such as
DATABASES or SESSION_BACKEND) affecting all Django applications. Current
algorithm of determining which dashboard sets the actual value of a
parameter such as DATABASES seems unreliable to me in sense that it can
break other dashboards which failed to set this parameter to the value they
needed.
