From 5cc8e3c94bdf62c5fd9838e4987d4e670d36f9ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emma Foley Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2021 19:23:12 +0100 Subject: Add a playbook that tests collectd 6 vs collectd5 The playbook will: * build collectd-6, collectd-latest and flask app containers * generate a set of collectd configs * launch the collectd-6, collectd-latest with the generated configs * run the flask app which has a http_server that receives metrics from collectd v5 and collectd v6 * display the received metrics from both versions of collectd Collectd v5 shows PUTVAL Collectd v6 shows PUTMETRIC The playbook takes the following parameters: * PR (optional) The PRID for an upstream collectd pull request that will be passed to the collectd 6 container build * plugin (optional) The name of the plugin that is bneing ported This will filter the received metrics to show the value passed. Additional updates to existing roles include: * run_collectd parameterises the collectd container name so that the role can be reused for launching multiple collectd containers by passing distinct names.
