+========================================
+Build a new cluster data model collector
+========================================
+
+Watcher Decision Engine has an external cluster data model plugin interface
+which gives anyone the ability to integrate an external cluster data model
+collector in order to extend the initial set of cluster data model collectors
+Watcher provides.
+
+This section gives some guidelines on how to implement and integrate custom
+cluster data model collectors within Watcher.
+
+
+Creating a new plugin
+=====================
+
+First of all, you have to extend the :class:`~.BaseClusterDataModelCollector`
+base class which defines the :py:meth:`~.BaseClusterDataModelCollector.execute`
+abstract method you will have to implement. This method is responsible for
+building an entire cluster data model.
+
+Here is an example showing how you can write a plugin called
+``DummyClusterDataModelCollector``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Filepath = <PROJECT_DIR>/thirdparty/dummy.py
+    # Import path = thirdparty.dummy
+
+    from watcher.decision_engine.model import model_root
+    from watcher.metrics_engine.cluster_model_collector import base
+
+
+    class DummyClusterDataModelCollector(base.BaseClusterDataModelCollector):
+
+        def execute(self):
+            model = model_root.ModelRoot()
+            # Do something here...
+            return model
+
+This implementation is the most basic one. So in order to get a better
+understanding on how to implement a more advanced cluster data model collector,
+have a look at the :py:class:`~.NovaClusterDataModelCollector` class.
+
+Define configuration parameters
+===============================
+
+At this point, you have a fully functional cluster data model collector.
+However, in more complex implementation, you may want to define some
+configuration options so one can tune the cluster data model collector 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
+    from watcher.decision_engine.model import model_root
+    from watcher.metrics_engine.cluster_model_collector import base
+
+
+    class DummyClusterDataModelCollector(base.BaseClusterDataModelCollector):
+
+        def execute(self):
+            model = model_root.ModelRoot()
+            # Do something here...
+            return model
+
+        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_cluster_data_model_collectors.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:`~.BaseClusterDataModelCollector.__init__` method.
+
+
+Abstract Plugin Class
+=====================
+
+Here below is the abstract ``BaseClusterDataModelCollector`` class that every
+single cluster data model collector should implement:
+
+.. autoclass:: watcher.metrics_engine.cluster_model_collector.base.BaseClusterDataModelCollector
+    :members:
+    :special-members: __init__
+    :noindex:
+
+
+Register a new entry point
+==========================
+
+In order for the Watcher Decision Engine to load your new cluster data model
+collector, the latter must be registered as a named entry point under the
+``watcher_cluster_data_model_collectors`` entry point of your ``setup.py``
+file. If you are using pbr_, this entry point should be placed in your
+``setup.cfg`` file.
+
+The name you give to your entry point has to be unique.
+
+Here below is how to register ``DummyClusterDataModelCollector`` using pbr_:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+    [entry_points]
+    watcher_cluster_data_model_collectors =
+        dummy = thirdparty.dummy:DummyClusterDataModelCollector
+
+.. _pbr: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/pbr/
+
+
+Using cluster data model collector plugins
+==========================================
+
+The Watcher Decision Engine service will automatically discover any installed
+plugins when it is restarted. If a Python package containing a custom plugin is
+installed within the same environment as Watcher, Watcher will automatically
+make that plugin available for use.
+
+At this point, you can use your new cluster data model plugin in your
+:ref:`strategy plugin <implement_strategy_plugin>` by using the
+:py:attr:`~.BaseStrategy.collector_manager` property as followed:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # [...]
+    dummy_collector = self.collector_manager.get_cluster_model_collector(
+        "dummy")  # "dummy" is the name of the entry point we declared earlier
+    dummy_model = collector.get_latest_cluster_data_model()
+    # Do some stuff with this model
