Define configuration parameters
===============================
At this point, you have a fully functional planner. However, in more complex
implementation, you may want to define some configuration options so one can
tune the planner to its needs. To do so, you can implement the
:py:meth:`~.Loadable.get_config_opts` class method as followed:
.. code-block:: python
from oslo_config import cfg
class DummyPlanner(base.BasePlanner):
# [...]
def schedule(self, context, audit_uuid, solution):
assert self.config.test_opt == 0
# [...]
def get_config_opts(self):
return [
cfg.StrOpt('test_opt', help="Demo Option.", default=0),
# Some more options ...
]
The configuration options defined within this class method will be included
within the global ``watcher.conf`` configuration file under a section named by
convention: ``{namespace}.{plugin_name}``. In our case, the ``watcher.conf``
configuration would have to be modified as followed:
.. code-block:: ini
[watcher_planners.dummy]
# Option used for testing.
test_opt = test_value
Then, the configuration options you define within this method will then be
injected in each instantiated object via the ``config`` parameter of the
:py:meth:`~.BasePlanner.__init__` method.
