Pluggable Panels and Groups¶

Introduction¶

Horizon allows dashboards, panels and panel groups to be added without modifying the default settings. Pluggable settings are a mechanism to allow settings to be stored in separate files. Those files are read at startup and used to modify the default settings.

The default location for the dashboard configuration files is openstack_dashboard/enabled, with another directory, openstack_dashboard/local/enabled for local overrides. Both sets of files will be loaded, but the settings in openstack_dashboard/local/enabled will overwrite the default ones. The settings are applied in alphabetical order of the filenames. If the same dashboard has configuration files in enabled and local/enabled, the local name will be used. Note, that since names of python modules can’t start with a digit, the files are usually named with a leading underscore and a number, so that you can control their order easily.

General Pluggbale Settings¶

Before we describe the specific use cases, the following keys can be used in any pluggable settings file:

`ADD_EXCEPTIONS`¶

Added in version 2014.1(Icehouse).

A dictionary of exception classes to be added to HORIZON['exceptions'].

`ADD_INSTALLED_APPS`¶

Added in version 2014.1(Icehouse).

A list of applications to be prepended to INSTALLED_APPS. This is needed to expose static files from a plugin.

`ADD_ANGULAR_MODULES`¶

Added in version 2014.2(Juno).

A list of AngularJS modules to be loaded when Angular bootstraps. These modules are added as dependencies on the root Horizon application horizon.

`ADD_JS_FILES`¶

Added in version 2014.2(Juno).

A list of javascript source files to be included in the compressed set of files that are loaded on every page. This is needed for AngularJS modules that are referenced in ADD_ANGULAR_MODULES and therefore need to be included in every page.

`ADD_JS_SPEC_FILES`¶

Added in version 2015.1(Kilo).

A list of javascript spec files to include for integration with the Jasmine spec runner. Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code.

`ADD_SCSS_FILES`¶

Added in version 8.0.0(Liberty).

A list of scss files to be included in the compressed set of files that are loaded on every page. We recommend one scss file per dashboard, use @import if you need to include additional scss files for panels.

`ADD_XSTATIC_MODULES`¶

Added in version 14.0.0(Rocky).

A list of xstatic modules containing javascript and scss files to be included in the compressed set of files that are loaded on every page. Related files specified in ADD_XSTATIC_MODULES do not need to be included in ADD_JS_FILES. This option expects a list of tuples, each consists of a xstatic module and a list of javascript files to be loaded if any. For more details, please check the comment of BASE_XSTATIC_MODULES in openstack_dashboard/utils/settings.py.

Example:

ADD_XSTATIC_MODULES = [
    ('xstatic.pkg.foo', ['foo.js']),
    ('xstatic.pkg.bar', None),
]

`AUTO_DISCOVER_STATIC_FILES`¶

Added in version 8.0.0(Liberty).

If set to True, JavaScript files and static angular html template files will be automatically discovered from the static folder in each apps listed in ADD_INSTALLED_APPS.

JavaScript source files will be ordered based on naming convention: files with extension .module.js listed first, followed by other JavaScript source files.

JavaScript files for testing will also be ordered based on naming convention: files with extension .mock.js listed first, followed by files with extension .spec.js.

If ADD_JS_FILES and/or ADD_JS_SPEC_FILES are also specified, files manually listed there will be appended to the auto-discovered files.

`DISABLED`¶

Added in version 2014.1(Icehouse).

If set to True, this settings file will not be added to the settings.

`EXTRA_STEPS`¶

Added in version 14.0.0(Rocky).

Extra workflow steps can be added to a workflow in horizon or other horizon plugins by using this setting. Extra steps will be shown after default steps defined in a corresponding workflow.

This is a dict setting. A key of the dict specifies a workflow which extra step(s) are added. The key must match a full class name of the target workflow.

A value of the dict is a list of full name of an extra step classes (where a module name and a class name must be delimiteed by a period). Steps specified via EXTRA_STEPS will be displayed in the order of being registered.

Example:

EXTRA_STEPS = {
    'openstack_dashboard.dashboards.identity.projects.workflows.UpdateQuota':
    (
        ('openstack_dashboard.dashboards.identity.projects.workflows.'
         'UpdateVolumeQuota'),
        ('openstack_dashboard.dashboards.identity.projects.workflows.'
         'UpdateNetworkQuota'),
    ),
}

`EXTRA_TABS`¶

Added in version 14.0.0(Rocky).

Extra tabs can be added to a tab group implemented in horizon or other horizon plugins by using this setting. Extra tabs will be shown after default tabs defined in a corresponding tab group.

This is a dict setting. A key of the dict specifies a tab group which extra tab(s) are added. The key must match a full class name of the target tab group.

A value of the dict is a list of full name of an extra tab classes (where a module name and a class name must be delimiteed by a period). Tabs specified via EXTRA_TABS will be displayed in the order of being registered.

There might be cases where you would like to specify the order of the extra tabs as multiple horizon plugins can register extra tabs. You can specify a priority of each tab in EXTRA_TABS by using a tuple of priority and a tab class as an element of a dict value instead of a full name of an extra tab. Priority is an integer of a tab and a tab with a lower value will be displayed first. If a priority of an extra tab is omitted, 0 is assumed as a priority.

Example:

EXTRA_TABS = {
    'openstack_dashboard.dashboards.project.networks.tabs.NetworkDetailsTabs': (
        'openstack_dashboard.dashboards.project.networks.subnets.tabs.SubnetsTab',
        'openstack_dashboard.dashboards.project.networks.ports.tabs.PortsTab',
    ),
}

Example (with priority):

EXTRA_TABS = {
    'openstack_dashboard.dashboards.project.networks.tabs.NetworkDetailsTabs': (
        (1, 'openstack_dashboard.dashboards.project.networks.subnets.tabs.SubnetsTab'),
        (2, 'openstack_dashboard.dashboards.project.networks.ports.tabs.PortsTab'),
    ),
}

`UPDATE_HORIZON_CONFIG`¶

Added in version 2014.2(Juno).

A dictionary of values that will replace the values in HORIZON_CONFIG.
