+Guru Meditation Reports
+=======================
+
+Aodh contains a mechanism whereby developers and system administrators can
+generate a report about the state of a running Aodh executable. This report is
+called a *Guru Meditation Report* (*GMR* for short).
+
+Generating a GMR
+----------------
+
+A *GMR* can be generated by sending the *USR1* signal to any Aodh process with
+support (see below).  The *GMR* will then be outputted standard error for that
+particular process.
+
+For example, suppose that ``aodh-listener`` has process id ``8675``, and
+was run with ``2>/var/log/aodh/aodh-listener.log``.  Then, ``kill -USR1 8675``
+will trigger the Guru Meditation report to be printed to
+``/var/log/aodh/aodh-listener.log``.
+
+Structure of a GMR
+------------------
+
+The *GMR* is designed to be extensible; any particular executable may add its
+own sections.  However, the base *GMR* consists of several sections:
+
+Package
+  Shows information about the package to which this process belongs, including
+  version information
+
+Threads
+  Shows stack traces and thread ids for each of the threads within this process
+
+Green Threads
+  Shows stack traces for each of the green threads within this process (green
+  threads don't have thread ids)
+
+Configuration
+  Lists all the configuration options currently accessible via the CONF object
+  for the current process
+
+Adding Support for GMRs to New Executables
+------------------------------------------
+
+Adding support for a *GMR* to a given executable is fairly easy.
+
+First import the module (currently residing in oslo-incubator), as well as the
+Aodh version module:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+      from oslo_reports import guru_meditation_report as gmr
+      from aodh import version
+
+Then, register any additional sections (optional):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+      TextGuruMeditation.register_section('Some Special Section',
+                                          some_section_generator)
+
+Finally (under main), before running the "main loop" of the executable (usually
+``service.server(server)`` or something similar), register the *GMR* hook:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+      TextGuruMeditation.setup_autorun(version)
+
+Extending the GMR
+-----------------
+
+As mentioned above, additional sections can be added to the GMR for a
+particular executable.  For more information, see the inline documentation
+about oslo.reports:
+`oslo.reports <https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.reports/latest/>`_
