Description RHOS Integration 2014-01-04 05:03:07 UTC
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/config-plugin-by-name.

Description:

It is convenient to config extension plugins by names rather than python classes. Currently `service_plugins` contains a list of python class names of plugins:

service_plugins = neutron.services.l3_router.l3_router_plugin:L3RouterPlugin,neutron.services.firewall.fwaas_plugin:FirewallPlugin,neutron.services.loadbalancer.plugin:LoadBalancerPlugin

I suggest add a new option to load plugins, instead of use class names, simpler names can be used:

extension_plugins = l3-router, firewall, lbaas


Specification URL (additional information):

None

Comment 5 Ofer Blaut 2014-06-01 10:47:51 UTC
When using 

extension_plugins = l3-router, firewall in neutron.conf instead of 


service_plugins =neutron.services.l3_router.l3_router_plugin.L3RouterPlugin,neutron.services.firewall.fwaas_plugin.FirewallPlugin

Neutron server doesn't load drivers and FWaaS doesn't work
To reproduce:

1. Change config in neutron.conf
2. restart neutron-server
3. check server.log 
4. try to configure fwaas policy 

- neutron firewall-policy-create  test1
Created a new firewall_policy:
+----------------+--------------------------------------+


When using service_plugins  it works !!!

python-neutron-2014.1-22.el7ost.noarch
