The purpose of this patch is to add an endpoint directly in RPC
dispatcher, so this endpoint will always be available, in a cross
project manner, without the need for projects to manage it by themself.
This endpoint stay disabled by default, so this change is harmless
without a specific configuration option.
To enable this ping endpoint, an operator will just have to add a new
parameter in the [DEFAULT] section, alongside with rpc_response_timeout
[DEFAULT]
rpc_ping_enabled=true # default is false
The purpose of this new endpoint is to help operators do a RPC call (a
ping) toward a specific RPC callback (e.g. a nova-compute, or a
neutron-agent).
This is helping a lot for monitoring agents (for example, if agents are
deployed in a kubernetes pod).
The endpoint is named oslo_rpc_server_ping.
