Dina Belova f015d3b55d [docs][5] Re-design docs to cover all user-groups
First pack of changes in upcoming chain to redesign Rally docs.
All information related to Rally plugins separated and refactored.
Modified files fit 80 symbols margin where possible.

[TODO] continue with other parts of the docs:
       - Contribute to Rally
       - Request New Features
       - Project Info
[TODO] add 80 symbols margin check similar to what
       Performance Documentation has

.. _plugins_scenario_plugin:
Scenario as a plugin
====================
Let's create a simple scenario plugin that list flavors.
Creation
^^^^^^^^
Inherit a class for your plugin from the base *Scenario* class and
implement a scenario method inside it. In our scenario, we'll first
list flavors as an ordinary user, and then repeat the same using admin
clients:
.. code-block:: python
from rally.task import atomic
from rally.task import scenario
class ScenarioPlugin(scenario.Scenario):
"""Sample plugin which lists flavors."""
@atomic.action_timer("list_flavors")
def _list_flavors(self):
"""Sample of usage clients - list flavors
You can use self.context, self.admin_clients and self.clients which are
initialized on scenario instance creation"""
self.clients("nova").flavors.list()
@atomic.action_timer("list_flavors_as_admin")
def _list_flavors_as_admin(self):
"""The same with admin clients"""
self.admin_clients("nova").flavors.list()
@scenario.configure()
def list_flavors(self):
"""List flavors."""
self._list_flavors()
self._list_flavors_as_admin()
Usage
^^^^^
You can refer to your plugin scenario in the benchmark task
configuration files in the same way as any other scenarios:
.. code-block:: json
{
"ScenarioPlugin.list_flavors": [
{
"runner": {
"type": "serial",
"times": 5,
},
"context": {
"create_flavor": {
"ram": 512,
}
}
}
]
}
This configuration file uses the *"create_flavor"* context which we
created in :ref:`plugins_context_plugin`.
