Amy Ge ead2bfc713 Improve plugin sample and corresponding 'creating a plugin' tutorial
The scenario_plugin.py was updated, however, the documentation still
has the old instruction for creating a plugin. Let's update that in-
struction. Let's also add 'required_services' and 'required_platform'
in the sample to make it more complete.

Scenario as a plugin
====================
Let's create a simple scenario plugin that list flavors.
Creation
^^^^^^^^
Inherit a class for your plugin from the base *OpenStackScenario* 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 import consts
from rally.plugins.openstack import scenario
from rally.task import atomic
from rally.task import validation
@validation.add("required_services", services=[consts.Service.NOVA])
@validation.add("required_platform", platform="openstack", users=True)
@scenario.configure(name="ScenarioPlugin.list_flavors_useless")
class ListFlavors(scenario.OpenStackScenario):
"""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()
def run(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`.
