==================================
SLA Performance degradation plugin
==================================

Problem description
===================

During density and reliability testing of OpenStack with Rally
we observed test cases, during execution of which performance
of OpenStack cluster has been drammatically degradated.

Proposed change
===============

Develop a new Rally SLA plugin: *performance_degradation*

This SLA plugin should find minimum and maximum duration of
iterations completed without errors during Rally task execution.
Assuming that minimum duration is 100%, it should calculate
performance degradation against maximum duration.

SLA plugin results:
  - failure if performance degradation is more than value set
  in plugin's max_degradation parameter;
  - success if degradation is less
  - performance degradation value as a percentage.

How to enable this plugin:

.. code:: json

    "sla": {
        "performance_degradation": {
            "max_degradation": 50
            }
    }
