+Guru Meditation Reports
+=======================
+
+Watcher contains a mechanism whereby developers and system administrators can
+generate a report about the state of a running Watcher service. This report
+is called a *Guru Meditation Report* (*GMR* for short).
+
+Generating a GMR
+================
+
+A *GMR* can be generated by sending the *USR2* signal to any Watcher process
+with support (see below).  The *GMR* will then be outputted as standard error
+for that particular process.
+
+For example, suppose that ``watcher-api`` has process id ``8675``, and was run
+with ``2>/var/log/watcher/watcher-api-err.log``.  Then, ``kill -USR2 8675``
+will trigger the Guru Meditation report to be printed to
+``/var/log/watcher/watcher-api-err.log``.
+
+Structure of a GMR
+==================
+
+The *GMR* is designed to be extensible; any particular service may add its
+own sections.  However, the base *GMR* consists of several sections:
+
+Package
+  Shows information about the package to which this process belongs, including
+  version informations.
+
+Threads
+  Shows stack traces and thread ids for each of the threads within this
+  process.
+
+Green Threads
+  Shows stack traces for each of the green threads within this process (green
+  threads don't have thread ids).
+
+Configuration
+  Lists all the configuration options currently accessible via the CONF object
+  for the current process.
+
+Plugins
+  Lists all the plugins currently accessible by the Watcher service.

+Define configuration parameters
+===============================
+
+At this point, you have a fully functional action. However, in more complex
+implementation, you may want to define some configuration options so one can
+tune the action 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
+
+    class DummyAction(base.BaseAction):
+
+        # [...]
+
+        def execute(self):
+            assert self.config.test_opt == 0

+        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_actions.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:`~.BaseAction.__init__` method.
