Public bug reported: Neutron's current configuration structure is difficult to understand:
- it is not clear which services need which configuration file(s) during startup. - config files end with .ini instead of .conf (which would be automatically recognized by oslo.config) oslo.config has already support for so called 'default-config-files' and got recently (v3.20.0) support for 'default-config-dirs'[1]. With that it would be possible to start the different services without any -config-file/--config-dir switches if the configuration filenames would be adjusted to the default. So for eg. neutron-metadata-agent, the configuration file that is automatically read is /etc/neutron/neutron-metadata-agent.conf . So metadata_agent.ini needs to be renamed to neutron-metadata-agent.conf . The same is true for other services.
