As an example see the | +| | /yardstick/tools/ directory for how to generate a Linux | +| | image with cachestat included.) | +| | | ++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +|test | cachestat test is invoked in a host VM on a compute blade, | +|description | cachestat test requires some other test cases running in the | +| | host to stimulate workload. | +| | | ++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +|configuration | File: cachestat.yaml (in the 'samples' directory) | +| | | +| | Interval is set 1. Test repeat, pausing every 1 seconds | +| | in-between. | +| | Test durarion is set to 60 seconds. | +| | | +| | SLA is not available in this test case. | +| | | ++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +|applicability | Test can be configured with different: | +| | | +| | * interval; | +| | * runner Duration. | +| | | +| | Default values exist. | +| | | ++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ +|usability | This test case is one of Yardstick's generic test.

Raw cache usage statistics | +| | are collected and filtrated. Average and maximum values are | +| | calculated and recorded.
