Plugins in the Rally repository
---------------------------------

Rally currently comes with a great collection of plugins that use the API of
different OpenStack projects like **Keystone**, **Nova**, **Cinder**,
**Glance** and so on. The good news is that you can combine multiple plugins
in one task to test your cloud in a comprehensive way.

First, let's see what plugins are available in Rally. One of the ways to
discover these plugins is just to inspect their `source code`_.
another is to use build-in rally plugin command.

CLI: rally plugin show
----------------------

Rally plugin CLI command is much more convenient way to learn about different
plugins in Rally. This command allows to list plugins and show detailed
information about them:

.. code-block:: console

    $ rally plugin show create_meter_and_get_stats

        CeilometerStats.create_meter_and_get_stats
    NAMESPACE
        default
    MODULE
        rally.plugins.openstack.scenarios.ceilometer.stats
    DESCRIPTION
        Meter is first created and then statistics is fetched for the same
        using GET /v2/meters/(meter_name)/statistics.
    PARAMETERS
