Neutron third party specific files

Some Neutron plugins require third party programs to function. The files under the directory, lib/neutron_thirdparty/, will be used when their service are enabled. Third party program specific configuration variables should be in this file.

  • filename: <third_party>
    • The corresponding file name should be same to service name, <third_party>.

lib/neutron-legacy calls the following functions when the <third_party> is enabled

  • init_<third_party>: initialize databases, etc
