===================================================
Add Guru Meditation Report Functionality to Neutron
===================================================
Guru Meditation Report functionality has been implemented in Oslo. The trigger
code now needs to be added to the Neutron executables so that they print a GMR
on SIGUSR1 (see https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GuruMeditationReport)
Problem Description
===================
GMR can aid in debugging neutron by providing lots of detail about a running
process, including configuration, native thread stack trace and greenlet stack
traces.
GMR is intended to be triggered by sending USR1 signal to a neutron process, If
the process is a daemon, the report will be placed inside logdir. Otherwise,
the report will output to the console.
Proposed Change
===============
GMR has already been implemented in olso-incubator, pick GMR from olso and add
trigger code.
GMR will be supported by all neutron daemons, including:
* neutron-cisco-cfg-agent
* neutron-db-manage
* neutron-dhcp-agent
* neutron-hyperv-agent
* neutron-ibm-agent
* neutron-l3-agent
* neutron-lbaas-agent
* neutron-linuxbridge-agent
* neutron-metadata-agent
* neutron-mlnx-agent
* neutron-nec-agent
* neutron-ns-metadata-proxy
* neutron-nsx-manage
* neutron-nvsd-agent
* neutron-openvswitch-agent
* neutron-restproxy-agent
* neutron-ryu-agent
* neutron-server
* neutron-vpn-agent
* neutron-metering-agent
* neutron-ofagent-agent
* neutron-sriov-nic-agent
Data Model Impact
-----------------
None.
REST API Impact
---------------
None.
Security Impact
---------------
The configuration can be viewed by the user who can read logdir. But secrets
(including passwords, tokens, database connections) will be masked out.
Notifications Impact
--------------------
None.
Other End User Impact
---------------------
None.
Performance Impact
------------------
None.
IPv6 Impact
-----------
None.
Other Deployer Impact
---------------------
None.
Developer Impact
----------------
None.
Community Impact
----------------
None.
Alternatives
------------
None.
Implementation

Primary assignee:
Zang MingJie <zealot0630@gmail.com>
Work Items
----------
* Sync GRM from olso
* Add trigger code
Dependencies
============
None.
Testing
=======
Tempest Tests
-------------
None.
Functional Tests
----------------
* Test GMR trigger. When receive a USR1 signal, the corresponding GMR function
muse be called. The generating progress should be well tested in GMR tests.
API Tests
---------
None.
Documentation Impact
====================
Documentation to describe how to use the feature. Should be almost the same as
in nova. [ref 2: GMR in Nova]
User Documentation
------------------
Describe how to generate a GMR, and locate the generated GMR.
Developer Documentation
-----------------------
Describe how to write GMR trigger and extend the GMR.
