2021-01-27creation of tests and configs subdirectoriesLuc Provoost1-70/+0
All test files are now in the tests directory. All PROX config files moved to the configs directory. When specifying a test on the runrapid.py command line, you should now also mention the directory: e.g. --test tests/basicrapid.test In these test files, you need now to also include the configs subdirectory when specifying the prox configuration that needs to be used. The --map parameter has also changed. It can still take the file name of the map file, that specifies which PROX instance to use during a test. On top of that, you can now also specify a list of indices of the machines to be used during a test: e.g. --map [1,3].

2020-09-29New PROX version, background traffic reportingLuc Provoost1-2/+0
deploycentostools.sh is now installing a recent PROX version. When using background traffic, the tool is also reporting the total traffic that was handled by the NFVi stack, including foreground & background traffic. The use of the prox_socket and prox_launch_exit was also broken in a previous release and is now fixed. When setting prox_socket to false for a PROX instance, we will not create a socket connection to control that PROX instance. Setting this option to false is not meaningful for the generator PROX instances since we would not be able to control the behavior of the PROX generator during the test. You could use the generator against another non-PROX instance and then set prox_socket to false for that non-PROX instance. Default is true. prox_launch_exit is used to start and stop the PROX program inside the instance. Default is true. This is useful in case you want to start PROX manually to be able to inspect the PROX UI, but at the same time, let the rapid scripts control the testing.

2020-09-16ramp generator traffic & prox.log copyLuc Provoost1-0/+1
A new parameter can be put in the *.test files so that the requested traffic is not generated at once, but slowly increasing up to the requested traffic. This is important for some SW switched that adapt and learn from the applied traffic. When suddenly applying a high traffic, the switch might not have enough time to learn and lose packets. Only after a period of time (up to 10 seconds?), the switch can cope with the traffic without packet loss. In order to get reproducible results in this case with low packet loss, please put the parameter ramp_step in the test section of the *.test file. The step is expressed in percentage of a 10Gb/s traffic. If the parameter is not present, the load will be immediately applied. When the runrapid.py script is now finished, it also copies the prox.log files from all the prox instances. In case of issues, please investigate this log file. When using background traffic, the tool will also print the average background traffic for each step in the DEBUG log. In this way, you can check that the background traffic is actually dealing with the same amount of traffic as the foreground. The tool is printing the packet reception rate of the background generators. A bug was also fixed regarding the latency percentile reporting. When using tests involving l2gen.cfg, the values of the percentile latency were wrong. Change-Id: Id3dd02ed5cab084414c717cf898b30e6980ddf31 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2020-05-15Code rewrite and Python3 supportLuc Provoost1-3/+3
The code has been rewritten in multiple classes and files for better readability and maintainability. You should now also use Python3 to run the scripts. Some of the variables in the config files have moved to other sections. The pushgateway parameter moved to the [varia] section of the rapid environment file.

2020-01-31Add support for kubernetes deployment in rapid scripts.Yury Kylulin1-3/+4
In case of kubernetes based deployments procedure for test environment creation is different. Please refer to README.k8s file for more details. Dockerfile and dockerimage.sh files can be used to create a docker image with prox. There is separate createrapidk8s.py script which is used to create appropriate number of PODs for testing based on the rapid.pods configuration. port_info is a helper application to identify port MAC address.

2019-06-30Multiple changes for June releaseLuc Provoost1-2/+2
- Change inittest in warmuptest. This has now a warmuptime, warmupspeed, packet size and flow size. - Change in centos.json. This will now also copy deploycentostools.sh during image building so that it can be used to re-compile prox in the VM by typing "./deploycentostools.sh compile" - runrapid.py parameters needing a file name, need to be complete file names: no extensions will be added any more by the scripts. - Changes in createrapid.py to handel the openstack CLI output in a simpler way. - The management interface of the VMs can now also be an SRIOV interface. We have now an extra optional parameter in the VM sections of the rapiVMs.vms file: SRIOV_mgmt_port - Changed the name of some sections and keys in the environment file since runrapid.py will not always communicate to OpenStack VMs. This could be containers or any other (virtual) machine. - The previous MachineMap.cfg has been renamed to machine.map - A new test has been added: monitorswap is just showing the statistics of a swap (virtual) machine, without generating any packets. This is useful in situations where an external tester is used. - Latency and core statistics can now be measured even if there are multiple PROX cores and tasks running. A new parameter has been added in the test files with following default value: tasks=[0]. During the collection of statistics, all tasks in this list will be queried. It is ok to have a non-existing task in such a query since it will be ignored. - A --screenlog parameter was added for runrapid.py allowing for more detailed output on the screen during debugging. No need to check the log file. - Previous tests to run multiple packet size with a given flow size and to run multiple flow size, with a given packet size are now combined by specifiying 2 lists: packetsizes & flows - The screen output of this test has also been reworked with more meaningful column names and the test result is now in the field "core received". This allows also for faster termination of the test: When the all packets sent by Gen NIC are received by the cores within the thresholds for packet loss and latency, the test is now stopped, even we were requesting more packets to be sent.

2019-06-28Change of openstackrapid directory nameLuc Provoost1-0/+70
The scripts are orrignally written to support an OpenStack deployment. We are now making changes to support container environments, hence renaming the directory to rapid. Change-Id: Icaa2fad83c6da451eee733934151e98e9cd07de4 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
