Title:
  [RFE] Centralized Management System for testing the environment

Status in neutron:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  To enable operators to reduce manual work upon experiencing networking
  issue, and to fast pinpoint the cause of a failure, there is a need for
  neutron to provide real-time diagnostics of its resources. This way,
  current need for manual checks, often requiring root access, would be
  gradually replaced by API queries. Providing diagnostics options in
  neutron API would also open space for development of specialized tools
  that would solve particular type of issues, e.g. inability to ping VM’s
  interface.

  Note: The description of this RFE was changed to cover previous RFEs
  related to diagnostics (namely bug 1563538, bug 1537686, bug 1519537
  and the original of this bug).

  Problem Description
  ===================

  One of common questions seen at ask.openstack.org and mailing lists is
  "Why cannot I ping my floating IP address?". Usually, there are common
  steps in the diagnostics required to answer the question involving
  determination of relevant namespaces, pinging the instance from that
  namespaces etc. Currently, these steps need to be performed manually,
  often by crawling the relevant hosts and running tools that require root
  access.

  Neutron currently provides data on how the resources *should* be
  configured. It however provides only a very little diagnostics
  information reflecting *actual* resource state. Hence if an issue
  occurs, user is often left with only a little details of what works and
  what not, and has to manually crawl affected hosts to troubleshoot the
  issue.

  Proposed Change
  ===============

  This RFE requests an extension of current API that exposes
  diagnostics for neutron resources so that it is accessible via API
  calls, reducing amount of needed manual work. Further it describes
  additions to Neutron CLI necessary to call the newly added API.
