I don't expect user to check quantum agent-list all the time.
In case DHCP/L3 fails , i think new commands should alert about it
Can it be DHCP will miss it info about restart ?
Please differentiate between a user and an administrator. The user will
be able to configure ports, subnets and networks. The administrator is
responsible to ensure that the service is up and running. Anyone who
will be running a cloud service will need to ensure that they have
highly available and redundant dhcp and l3 agents. The way of monitoring
this is via the aforementioned command.
