======== Usage ======== Run Browbeat performance tests from Undercloud ---------------------------------------------- For Running the workloads from Undercloud :: $ ssh undercloud-root [root@undercloud ~]# su - stack [stack@undercloud ~]$ cd browbeat/ [stack@undercloud browbeat]$ . .browbeat-venv/bin/activate (.browbeat-venv)[stack@undercloud browbeat]$ vi browbeat-config.yaml # Edit browbeat-config.yaml to control how many stress tests are run. (.browbeat-venv)[stack@undercloud browbeat]$ ./browbeat.py #rally, shaker or "all" Running Shaker --------------- Running Shaker requires the shaker image to be built, which in turn requires instances to be able to access the internet. The playbooks for this installation have been described in the installation documentation but for the sake of convenience they are being mentioned here as well. :: $ ansible-playbook -i hosts.yml install/shaker_build.yml .. note:: The playbook to setup networking is provided as an example only and might not work for you based on your underlay/overlay network setup. In such cases, the exercise of setting up networking for instances to be able to access the internet is left to the user. Once the shaker image is built, you can run Shaker via Browbeat by filling in a few configuration options in the configuration file. The meaning of each option is summarized below: **shaker:** :enabled: Boolean ``true`` or ``false``, enable shaker or not :server: IP address of the shaker-server for agent to talk to (undercloud IP by default) :port: Port to connect to the shaker-server (undercloud port 5555 by default) :flavor: OpenStack instance flavor you want to use :join_timeout: Timeout in seconds for agents to join :sleep_before: Time in seconds to sleep before executing a scenario :sleep_after: Time in seconds to sleep after executing a scenario :shaker_region: OpenStack region you want to use :external_host: IP of a server for external tests (should have ``browbeat/util/shaker-external.sh`` executed on it previously and have iptables/firewalld/selinux allowing connections on the ports used by network testing tools netperf and iperf) **scenarios:** List of scenarios you want to run :\- name: Name for the scenario. It is used to create directories/files accordingly :enabled: Boolean ``true`` or ``false`` depending on whether or not you want to execute the scenario :density: Number of instances :compute: Number of compute nodes across which to spawn instances :placement: ``single_room`` would mean one instance per compute node and ``double_room`` would give you two instances per compute node :progression: ``null`` means all agents are involved, ``linear`` means execution starts with one agent and increases linearly, ``quadratic`` would result in quadratic growth in number of agents participating in the test concurrently :time: Time in seconds you want each test in the scenario file to run :file: The base shaker scenario file to use to override options (this would depend on whether you want to run L2, L3 E-W or L3 N-S tests and also on the class of tool you want to use such as flent or iperf3) To analyze results sent to Elasticsearch (you must have Elasticsearch enabled and the IP of the Elasticsearch host provided in the browbeat configuration file), you can use the following playbook to setup some prebuilt dashboards for you: :: $ ansible-playbook -i hosts.yml install/kibana-visuals.yml Alternatively you can create your own visualizations of specific shaker runs using some simple searches such as: :: shaker_uuid: 97092334-34e8-446c-87d6-6a0f361b9aa8 AND record.concurrency: 1 AND result.result_type: bandwidth shaker_uuid: c918a263-3b0b-409b-8cf8-22dfaeeaf33e AND record.concurrency:1 AND record.test:Bi-Directional Correlating test run with logs ------------------------------ If filebeat is enabled in the browbeat configuration file and filebeat was previously installed by running: :: $ ansible-playbook -i hosts.yml common_logging/install_logging.yml as explained in the installation documentation, then By enabling filebeat logging within the browbeat configuration file, a playbook `ansible/common_logging/browbeat_logging.yml` is run which appends browbeat_uuid to log messages and starts filebeat pre-browbeat workload run so that log messages have browbeat uuid appended and clears the uuid from the configuration file and stops filebeat from sending more logs post-browbeat workload run Interpreting Browbeat Results ----------------------------- By default results for each test will be placed in a timestamped folder `results/` inside your Browbeat folder. Each run folder will contain output files from the various workloads and benchmarks that ran during that Browbeat run, as well as a report card that summarizes the results of the tests. Browbeat for the most part tries to restrict itself to running tests, it will only exit with a nonzero return code if a workload failed to run. If, for example, Rally where to run but not be able to boot any instances on your cloud Browbeat would return with RC 0 without any complaints, only by looking into the Rally results for that Browbeat run would you determine that your cloud had a problem that made benchmarking it impossible. Likewise if Rally manages to run at a snails pace, Browbeat will still exit without complaint. Be aware of this when running Browbeat and take the time to either view the contents of the results folder after a run. Or setup Elasticsearch and Kibana to view them more easily. Working with Multiple Clouds ---------------------------- If you are running playbooks from your local machine you can run against more than one cloud at the same time. To do this, you should create a directory per-cloud and clone Browbeat into that specific directory: :: [browbeat@laptop ~]$ mkdir cloud01; cd cloud01 [browbeat@laptop cloud01]$ git clone git@github.com:openstack/browbeat.git ... [browbeat@laptop cloud01]$ cd browbeat/ansible [browbeat@laptop ansible]$ ./generate_tripleo_hostfile.sh -t [browbeat@laptop ansible]$ ansible-playbook -i hosts (Your playbook you wish to run...) [browbeat@laptop ansible]$ ssh -F ssh-config overcloud-controller-0 # Takes you to first controller Repeat the above steps for as many clouds as you have to run playbooks against your clouds. Compare software-metadata from two different runs ------------------------------------------------- Browbeat's metadata is great to help build visuals in Kibana by querying on specific metadata fields, but sometimes we need to see what the difference between two builds might be. Kibana doesn't have a good way to show this, so we added an option to Browbeat CLI to query ElasticSearch. To use : :: $ python browbeat.py --compare software-metadata --uuid "browbeat-uuid-1" "browbeat-uuid-2" Real world use-case, we had two builds in our CI that used the exact same DLRN hash, however the later build had a 10x performance hit for two Neutron operations, router-create and add-interface-to-router. Given we had exactly the same DLRN hash, the only difference could be how things were configured. Using this new code, we could quickly identify the difference -- TripleO enabled l3_ha. Below is an example output of comparing metadata: :: +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Host |

two different runs ------------------------------------------ Using the CLI the user can determine, run to run performance differences. This is a good tool for spot checking performance of an OpenStack release. You'll need to install extra dependencies for browbeat insights, which will provide additional modules needed for providing insights. To install : :: $ source browbeat/.browbeat-venv/bin/activate $ pip install .[insights] To use : :: $ python browbeat.py -q -u browbeat_uuid1 browbeat_uuid2 Example output from running this CLI command :: python browbeat.py -q -u 6b50b6f7-acae-445a-ac53-78200b5ba58c 938dc451-d881-4f28-a6cb-ad502b177f3b 2018-07-13 14:38:49,516 - browbeat.config - INFO - Config bs.yaml validated 2018-07-13 14:38:49,646 - browbeat.elastic - INFO - Making query against browbeat-rally-* 2018-07-13 14:38:54,292 - browbeat.elastic - INFO - Searching through ES for uuid: 6b50b6f7-acae-445a-ac53-78200b5ba58c 2018-07-13 14:38:54,293 - browbeat.elastic - INFO - Scrolling through Browbeat 336 documents... 2018-07-13 14:38:54,432 - browbeat.elastic - INFO - Making query against browbeat-rally-* 2018-07-13 14:38:54,983 - browbeat.elastic - INFO - Searching through ES for uuid: 938dc451-d881-4f28-a6cb-ad502b177f3b 2018-07-13 14:38:54,983 - browbeat.elastic - INFO - Scrolling through Browbeat 22 documents... +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Scenario | Action | concurrency | times | 0b5ba58c | 2b177f3b | % Difference +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ create-list-router | neutron.create_router | 500 | 32 | 19.940 | 15.656 | -21.483 create-list-router | neutron.list_routers | 500 | 32 | 2.588 | 2.086 | -19.410 create-list-router | neutron.create_network | 500 | 32 | 3.294 | 2.366 | -28.177 create-list-router | neutron.create_subnet | 500 | 32 | 4.282 | 2.866 | -33.075 create-list-router | neutron.add_interface_router | 500 | 32 | 12.741 | 10.324 | -18.973 create-list-port | neutron.list_ports | 500 | 32 | 52.627 | 43.448 | -17.442 create-list-port | neutron.create_network | 500 | 32 | 4.025 | 2.771 | -31.165 create-list-port | neutron.create_port | 500 | 32 | 19.458 | 5.412 | -72.189 create-list-security-group | neutron.create_security_group | 500 | 32 | 3.244 | 2.708 | -16.514 create-list-security-group | neutron.list_security_groups | 500 | 32 | 6.837 | 5.720 | -16.339 create-list-subnet | neutron.create_subnet | 500 | 32 | 11.366 | 4.809 | -57.689 create-list-subnet | neutron.create_network | 500 | 32 | 6.432 | 4.286 | -33.368 create-list-subnet | neutron.list_subnets | 500 | 32 | 10.627 | 7.522 | -29.221 create-list-network | neutron.list_networks | 500 | 32 | 15.154 | 13.073 | -13.736 create-list-network | neutron.create_network | 500 | 32 | 10.200 | 6.595 | -35.347 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ UUID | Version | Build | Number of runs +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 938dc451-d881-4f28-a6cb-ad502b177f3b | queens | 2018-03-20.2 | 1 6b50b6f7-acae-445a-ac53-78200b5ba58c | ocata | 2017-XX-XX.X | 3 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ We can see from the output above that we also provide the user with some metadata regarding the two runs, like the amount version and the number of runs each UUID contained. Cleanup Rally resources ------------------------------------------ Rally cleans up resources automatically at the end of testing. However, we disable cleanup in rally sometimes during testing and later try to manually delete these resources. Cleaning up the resources at scale is very time consuming, so we came up with a python process to speed up this activity. To cleanup : :: $ source browbeat/.rally-venv/bin/activate $ source ~/overcloudrc $ python browbeat/rally_cleanup.py Cleanup sqlalchemy collectd configuration ------------------------------------------ Browbeat adds configuration for sqlalchemy collectd on the configuration files of many Openstack API containers on controller hosts. This causes issues in the next overcloud deployment. There is a playbook to clean up sqlalchemy collectd configuration installed by Browbeat from Openstack API containers. To cleanup : :: $ cd ansible $ ansible-playbook -i hosts.yml install/cleanup_sqlalchemy_collectd.yml Generate CSV file/Google Sheets from Rally json file -------------------------------------------- Rally generates a json file with data about atomic actions duration from each iteration. These atomic actions often occur multiple times within one iteration. Browbeat has a script which allows a user to generate a CSV file and also has an option to generate a Google Sheet about individual resource duration through the Rally json file. To use the script to upload to Google Sheets, a Google Drive service account is required. The script sends an email to the email id of the user with the Google sheet if the --uploadgooglesheet option is enabled. To generate only a CSV file and not upload to Google Sheets : :: $ source .browbeat-venv/bin/activate && cd utils $ python rally_google_sheet_gen.py -c -f -j -a To only upload to Google Sheets and not generate CSV files : :: $ source .browbeat-venv/bin/activate && cd utils $ python rally_google_sheet_gen.py -j -a -g -s -e -n To only upload to Google Sheets along with SLA failures and not generate CSV files : :: $ source .browbeat-venv/bin/activate && cd utils $ python rally_google_sheet_gen.py -j -a -g -v -s -e -n To generate a CSV file and upload to Google Sheets : :: $ source .browbeat-venv/bin/activate && cd utils $ python rally_google_sheet_gen.py -c -f -j -a -g -s -e -n
