+Yardstick_ is an OPNFV Project.
+
+The project's goal is to verify infrastructure compliance, from the perspective
+of a Virtual Network Function (:term:`VNF`).
+
+The Project's scope is the development of a test framework, *Yardstick*, test
+cases and test stimuli to enable Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure
+(:term:`NFVI`) verification.
+The Project also includes a sample :term:`VNF`, the Virtual Traffic Classifier
+(:term:`VTC`) and its experimental framework, *ApexLake* !
+
+*Yardstick* is used in OPNFV for verifying the OPNFV infrastructure and some of
+the OPNFV features. The *Yardstick* framework is deployed in several OPNFV
+community labs. It is *installer*, *infrastructure* and *application*
+independent.
+
+.. seealso:: Pharos_ for information on OPNFV community labs and this

+Methodology
+===========
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+This chapter describes the methodology implemented by the Yardstick project for
+verifying the :term:`NFVI` from the perspective of a :term:`VNF`.
+
+ETSI-NFV
+========
+
+.. _NFV-TST001: http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_gs/NFV-TST/001_099/001/01.01.01_60/gs_NFV-TST001v010101p.pdf

+
+
+The document ETSI GS NFV-TST001_, "Pre-deployment Testing; Report on Validation
+of NFV Environments and Services", recommends methods for pre-deployment
+testing of the functional components of an NFV environment.
+
+The Yardstick project implements the methodology described in chapter 6, "Pre-
+deployment validation of NFV infrastructure".
+
+The methodology consists in decomposing the typical :term:`VNF` work-load
+performance metrics into a number of characteristics/performance vectors, which
+each can be represented by distinct test-cases.
+
+The methodology includes five steps:
+
+* *Step1:* Define Infrastruture - the Hardware, Software and corresponding
+ configuration target for validation; the OPNFV infrastructure, in OPNFV
+ community labs.
+
+* *Step2:* Identify :term:`VNF` type - the application for which the
+ infrastructure is to be validated, and its requirements on the underlying
+ infrastructure.
+
+* *Step3:* Select test cases - depending on the workload that represents the
+ application for which the infrastruture is to be validated, the relevant
+ test cases amongst the list of available Yardstick test cases.
+
+* *Step4:* Execute tests - define the duration and number of iterations for the
+ selected test cases, tests runs are automated via OPNFV Jenkins Jobs.
+
+* *Step5:* Collect results - using the common API for result collection.
+
+.. seealso:: Yardsticktst_ for material on alignment ETSI TST001 and Yardstick.
+
+Metrics
+=======
+
+The metrics, as defined by ETSI GS NFV-TST001, are shown in
+:ref:`Table1 <table2_1>`, :ref:`Table2 <table2_2>` and
+:ref:`Table3 <table2_3>`.
+
+In OPNFV Colorado release, generic test cases covering aspects of the listed
+metrics are available; further OPNFV releases will provide extended testing of
+these metrics.
+The view of available Yardstick test cases cross ETSI definitions in
+:ref:`Table1 <table2_1>`, :ref:`Table2 <table2_2>` and :ref:`Table3 <table2_3>`
+is shown in :ref:`Table4 <table2_4>`.
+It shall be noticed that the Yardstick test cases are examples, the test
+duration and number of iterations are configurable, as are the System Under
+Test (SUT) and the attributes (or, in Yardstick nomemclature, the scenario
+options).

+Architecture
+============
+
+Abstract
+========
+This chapter describes the yardstick framework software architecture. we will introduce it from Use-Case View,
+Logical View, Process View and Deployment View. More technical details will be introduced in this chapter.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+Architecture overview
+---------------------
+Yardstick is mainly written in Python, and test configurations are made
+in YAML. Documentation is written in reStructuredText format, i.e. .rst
+files. Yardstick is inspired by Rally. Yardstick is intended to run on a
+computer with access and credentials to a cloud. The test case is described
+in a configuration file given as an argument.
+
+How it works: the benchmark task configuration file is parsed and converted into
+an internal model. The context part of the model is converted into a Heat
+template and deployed into a stack. Each scenario is run using a runner, either
+serially or in parallel. Each runner runs in its own subprocess executing
+commands in a VM using SSH. The output of each scenario is written as json
+records to a file or influxdb or http server, we use influxdb as the backend,
+the test result will be shown with grafana.
+
+
+Concept
+-------
+**Benchmark** - assess the relative performance of something
+
+**Benchmark** configuration file - describes a single test case in yaml format
+
+**Context** - The set of Cloud resources used by a scenario, such as user
+names, image names, affinity rules and network configurations. A context is
+converted into a simplified Heat template, which is used to deploy onto the
+Openstack environment.
+
+**Data** - Output produced by running a benchmark, written to a file in json format
+
+**Runner** - Logic that determines how a test scenario is run and reported, for
+example the number of test iterations, input value stepping and test duration.
+Predefined runner types exist for re-usage, see `Runner types`_.
+
+**Scenario** - Type/class of measurement for example Ping, Pktgen, (Iperf, LmBench, ...)
+
+**SLA** - Relates to what result boundary a test case must meet to pass. For
+example a latency limit, amount or ratio of lost packets and so on. Action
+based on :term:`SLA` can be configured, either just to log (monitor) or to stop
+further testing (assert). The :term:`SLA` criteria is set in the benchmark
+configuration file and evaluated by the runner.
+
+
+Runner types
+------------
+
+There exists several predefined runner types to choose between when designing
+a test scenario:
+
+**Arithmetic:**
+Every test run arithmetically steps the specified input value(s) in the
+test scenario, adding a value to the previous input value. It is also possible
+to combine several input values for the same test case in different
+combinations.
+
+Snippet of an Arithmetic runner configuration:
+::
+
+
+ runner:
+ type: Arithmetic
+ iterators:
+ -
+ name: stride
+ start: 64
+ stop: 128
+ step: 64
+
+**Duration:**
+The test runs for a specific period of time before completed.
+
+Snippet of a Duration runner configuration:
+::
+
+
+ runner:
+ type: Duration
+ duration: 30
+
+**Sequence:**
+The test changes a specified input value to the scenario. The input values
+to the sequence are specified in a list in the benchmark configuration file.
+
+Snippet of a Sequence runner configuration:
+::
+
+
+ runner:
+ type: Sequence
+ scenario_option_name: packetsize
+ sequence:
+ - 100
+ - 200
+ - 250
+
+
+**Iteration:**
+Tests are run a specified number of times before completed.
+
+Snippet of an Iteration runner configuration:
+::
+
+
+ runner:
+ type: Iteration
+ iterations: 2
+
+
+
+
+Use-Case View
+=============
+Yardstick Use-Case View shows two kinds of users. One is the Tester who will
+do testing in cloud, the other is the User who is more concerned with test result
+and result analyses.
+
+For testers, they will run a single test case or test case suite to verify
+infrastructure compliance or bencnmark their own infrastructure performance.
+Test result will be stored by dispatcher module, three kinds of store method
+(file, influxdb and http) can be configured. The detail information of
+scenarios and runners can be queried with CLI by testers.
+
+For users, they would check test result with four ways.
+
+If dispatcher module is configured as file(default), there are two ways to
+check test result. One is to get result from yardstick.out ( default path:
+/tmp/yardstick.out), the other is to get plot of test result, it will be shown
+if users execute command "yardstick-plot".
+
+If dispatcher module is configured as influxdb, users will check test
+result on Grafana which is most commonly used for visualizing time series data.
+
+If dispatcher module is configured as http, users will check test result
+on OPNFV testing dashboard which use MongoDB as backend.

+ :alt: Yardstick Use-Case View
+
+Logical View
+============
+Yardstick Logical View describes the most important classes, their
+organization, and the most important use-case realizations.
+
+Main classes:
+
+**TaskCommands** - "yardstick task" subcommand handler.
+
+**HeatContext** - Do test yaml file context section model convert to HOT,
+deploy and undeploy Openstack heat stack.
+
+**Runner** - Logic that determines how a test scenario is run and reported.
+
+**TestScenario** - Type/class of measurement for example Ping, Pktgen, (Iperf,
+LmBench, ...)
+
+**Dispatcher** - Choose user defined way to store test results.
+
+TaskCommands is the "yardstick task" subcommand's main entry. It takes yaml
+file (e.g. test.yaml) as input, and uses HeatContext to convert the yaml
+file's context section to HOT. After Openstack heat stack is deployed by
+HeatContext with the converted HOT, TaskCommands use Runner to run specified
+TestScenario. During first runner initialization, it will create output
+process. The output process use Dispatcher to push test results. The Runner
+will also create a process to execute TestScenario. And there is a
+multiprocessing queue between each runner process and output process, so the
+runner process can push the real-time test results to the storage media.
+TestScenario is commonly connected with VMs by using ssh. It sets up VMs and
+run test measurement scripts through the ssh tunnel. After all TestScenaio
+is finished, TaskCommands will undeploy the heat stack. Then the whole test is
+finished.

+Process View (Test execution flow)
+==================================
+Yardstick process view shows how yardstick runs a test case. Below is the
+sequence graph about the test execution flow using heat context, and each
+object represents one module in yardstick:
+
+.. image:: images/test_execution_flow.png
+ :width: 800px
+ :alt: Yardstick Process View
+
+A user wants to do a test with yardstick. He can use the CLI to input the
+command to start a task. "TaskCommands" will receive the command and ask
+"HeatContext" to parse the context. "HeatContext" will then ask "Model" to
+convert the model. After the model is generated, "HeatContext" will inform
+"Openstack" to deploy the heat stack by heat template. After "Openstack"
+deploys the stack, "HeatContext" will inform "Runner" to run the specific test
+case.
+
+Firstly, "Runner" would ask "TestScenario" to process the specific scenario.
+Then "TestScenario" will start to log on the openstack by ssh protocal and
+execute the test case on the specified VMs. After the script execution
+finishes, "TestScenario" will send a message to inform "Runner". When the
+testing job is done, "Runner" will inform "Dispatcher" to output the test
+result via file, influxdb or http. After the result is output, "HeatContext"
+will call "Openstack" to undeploy the heat stack. Once the stack is
+undepoyed, the whole test ends.
+
+Deployment View
+===============
+Yardstick deployment view shows how the yardstick tool can be deployed into the
+underlying platform. Generally, yardstick tool is installed on JumpServer(see
+`07-installation` for detail installation steps), and JumpServer is
+connected with other control/compute servers by networking. Based on this
+deployment, yardstick can run the test cases on these hosts, and get the test
+result for better showing.

+Virtual Traffic Classifier
+==========================
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+.. _TNOVA: http://www.t-nova.eu/
+.. _TNOVAresults: http://www.t-nova.eu/results/
+.. _Yardstick: https://wiki.opnfv.org/yardstick
+
+This chapter provides an overview of the virtual Traffic Classifier, a
+contribution to OPNFV Yardstick_ from the EU Project TNOVA_.
+Additional documentation is available in TNOVAresults_.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The virtual Traffic Classifier (:term:`VTC`) :term:`VNF`, comprises of a
+Virtual Network Function Component (:term:`VNFC`). The :term:`VNFC` contains
+both the Traffic Inspection module, and the Traffic forwarding module, needed
+to run the :term:`VNF`. The exploitation of Deep Packet Inspection
+(:term:`DPI`) methods for traffic classification is built around two basic
+assumptions:
+
+* third parties unaffiliated with either source or recipient are able to
+inspect each IP packet’s payload
+
+* the classifier knows the relevant syntax of each application’s packet
+payloads (protocol signatures, data patterns, etc.).
+
+The proposed :term:`DPI` based approach will only use an indicative, small
+number of the initial packets from each flow in order to identify the content
+and not inspect each packet.
+
+In this respect it follows the Packet Based per Flow State (term:`PBFS`). This
+method uses a table to track each session based on the 5-tuples (src address,
+dest address, src port,dest port, transport protocol) that is maintained for
+each flow.
+
+Concepts
+========
+
+* *Traffic Inspection*: The process of packet analysis and application
+identification of network traffic that passes through the :term:`VTC`.
+
+* *Traffic Forwarding*: The process of packet forwarding from an incoming
+network interface to a pre-defined outgoing network interface.
+
+* *Traffic Rule Application*: The process of packet tagging, based on a
+predefined set of rules. Packet tagging may include e.g. Type of Service
+(:term:`ToS`) field modification.
+
+Architecture
+============
+
+The Traffic Inspection module is the most computationally intensive component
+of the :term:`VNF`. It implements filtering and packet matching algorithms in
+order to support the enhanced traffic forwarding capability of the :term:`VNF`.
+The component supports a flow table (exploiting hashing algorithms for fast
+indexing of flows) and an inspection engine for traffic classification.
+
+The implementation used for these experiments exploits the nDPI library.
+The packet capturing mechanism is implemented using libpcap. When the
+:term:`DPI` engine identifies a new flow, the flow register is updated with the
+appropriate information and transmitted across the Traffic Forwarding module,
+which then applies any required policy updates.
+
+The Traffic Forwarding moudle is responsible for routing and packet forwarding.
+It accepts incoming network traffic, consults the flow table for classification
+information for each incoming flow and then applies pre-defined policies
+marking e.g. :term:`ToS`/Differentiated Services Code Point (:term:`DSCP`)
+multimedia traffic for Quality of Service (:term:`QoS`) enablement on the
+forwarded traffic.
+It is assumed that the traffic is forwarded using the default policy until it
+is identified and new policies are enforced.
+
+The expected response delay is considered to be negligible, as only a small
+number of packets are required to identify each flow.

+Apexlake Installation Guide
+============================
+
+Abstract
+--------
+
+ApexLake is a framework that provides automatic execution of experiments and
+related data collection to enable a user validate infrastructure from the
+perspective of a Virtual Network Function (:term:`VNF`).
+
+In the context of Yardstick, a virtual Traffic Classifier (:term:`VTC`) network
+function is utilized.
+
+
+Framework Hardware Dependencies
+===============================
+
+In order to run the framework there are some hardware related dependencies for
+ApexLake.
+
+The framework needs to be installed on the same physical node where DPDK-pktgen_
+is installed.
+
+The installation requires the physical node hosting the packet generator must
+have 2 NICs which are DPDK_ compatible.
+
+The 2 NICs will be connected to the switch where the OpenStack VM
+network is managed.
+
+The switch used must support multicast traffic and :term:`IGMP` snooping.
+Further details about the configuration are provided at the following here_.
+
+The corresponding ports to which the cables are connected need to be configured
+as VLAN trunks using two of the VLAN IDs available for Neutron.
+Note the VLAN IDs used as they will be required in later configuration steps.
+
+
+Framework Software Dependencies
+===============================
+Before starting the framework, a number of dependencies must first be installed.
+The following describes the set of instructions to be executed via the Linux
+shell in order to install and configure the required dependencies.
+
+1. Install Dependencies.
+
+To support the framework dependencies the following packages must be installed.
+The example provided is based on Ubuntu and needs to be executed in root mode.
+
+::
+
+ apt-get install python-dev
+ apt-get install python-pip
+ apt-get install python-mock
+ apt-get install tcpreplay
+ apt-get install libpcap-dev
+
+2. Source OpenStack openrc file.
+
+::
+
+ source openrc
+
+3. Configure Openstack Neutron
+
+In order to support traffic generation and management by the virtual
+Traffic Classifier, the configuration of the port security driver
+extension is required for Neutron.
+
+For further details please follow the following link: PORTSEC_
+This step can be skipped in case the target OpenStack is Juno or Kilo release,
+but it is required to support Liberty.
+It is therefore required to indicate the release version in the configuration
+file located in ./yardstick/vTC/apexlake/apexlake.conf
+
+
+4. Create Two Networks based on VLANs in Neutron.
+
+To enable network communications between the packet generator and the compute
+node, two networks must be created via Neutron and mapped to the VLAN IDs
+that were previously used in the configuration of the physical switch.
+The following shows the typical set of commands required to configure Neutron
+correctly.
+The physical switches need to be configured accordingly.
+
+::
+
+ VLAN_1=2032
+ VLAN_2=2033
+ PHYSNET=physnet2
+ neutron net-create apexlake_inbound_network \
+ --provider:network_type vlan \
+ --provider:segmentation_id $VLAN_1 \
+ --provider:physical_network $PHYSNET
+
+ neutron subnet-create apexlake_inbound_network \
+ 192.168.0.0/24 --name apexlake_inbound_subnet
+
+ neutron net-create apexlake_outbound_network \
+ --provider:network_type vlan \
+ --provider:segmentation_id $VLAN_2 \
+ --provider:physical_network $PHYSNET
+
+ neutron subnet-create apexlake_outbound_network 192.168.1.0/24 \
+ --name apexlake_outbound_subnet
+
+
+5. Download Ubuntu Cloud Image and load it on Glance
+
+The virtual Traffic Classifier is supported on top of Ubuntu 14.04 cloud image.
+The image can be downloaded on the local machine and loaded on Glance
+using the following commands:
+
+::
+
+ wget cloud-images.ubuntu.com/trusty/current/trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
+ glance image-create \
+ --name ubuntu1404 \
+ --is-public true \
+ --disk-format qcow \
+ --container-format bare \
+ --file trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
+
+
+
+6. Configure the Test Cases
+
+The VLAN tags must also be included in the test case Yardstick yaml file
+as parameters for the following test cases:
+
+ * :doc:`opnfv_yardstick_tc006`
+
+ * :doc:`opnfv_yardstick_tc007`
+
+ * :doc:`opnfv_yardstick_tc020`
+
+ * :doc:`opnfv_yardstick_tc021`
+
+
+Install and Configure DPDK Pktgen
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Execution of the framework is based on DPDK Pktgen.
+If DPDK Pktgen has not installed, it is necessary to download, install, compile
+and configure it.
+The user can create a directory and download the dpdk packet generator source
+code:
+
+::
+
+ cd experimental_framework/libraries
+ mkdir dpdk_pktgen
+ git clone https://github.com/pktgen/Pktgen-DPDK.git
+
+For instructions on the installation and configuration of DPDK and DPDK Pktgen
+please follow the official DPDK Pktgen README file.
+Once the installation is completed, it is necessary to load the DPDK kernel
+driver, as follow:
+
+::
+
+ insmod uio
+ insmod DPDK_DIR/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko
+
+It is necessary to set the configuration file to support the desired Pktgen
+configuration.
+A description of the required configuration parameters and supporting examples
+is provided in the following:
+
+::
+
+ [PacketGen]
+ packet_generator = dpdk_pktgen
+
+ # This is the directory where the packet generator is installed
+ # (if the user previously installed dpdk-pktgen,
+ # it is required to provide the director where it is installed).
+ pktgen_directory = /home/user/software/dpdk_pktgen/dpdk/examples/pktgen/
+
+ # This is the directory where DPDK is installed
+ dpdk_directory = /home/user/apexlake/experimental_framework/libraries/Pktgen-DPDK/dpdk/
+
+ # Name of the dpdk-pktgen program that starts the packet generator
+ program_name = app/app/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/pktgen
+
+ # DPDK coremask (see DPDK-Pktgen readme)
+ coremask = 1f
+
+ # DPDK memory channels (see DPDK-Pktgen readme)
+ memory_channels = 3
+
+ # Name of the interface of the pktgen to be used to send traffic (vlan_sender)
+ name_if_1 = p1p1
+
+ # Name of the interface of the pktgen to be used to receive traffic (vlan_receiver)
+ name_if_2 = p1p2
+
+ # PCI bus address correspondent to if_1
+ bus_slot_nic_1 = 01:00.0
+
+ # PCI bus address correspondent to if_2
+ bus_slot_nic_2 = 01:00.1
+
+
+To find the parameters related to names of the NICs and the addresses of the PCI buses
+the user may find it useful to run the :term:`DPDK` tool nic_bind as follows:
+
+::
+
+ DPDK_DIR/tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --status
+
+Lists the NICs available on the system, and shows the available drivers and bus addresses for each interface.
+Please make sure to select NICs which are :term:`DPDK` compatible.
+
+Installation and Configuration of smcroute
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The user is required to install smcroute which is used by the framework to
+support multicast communications.
+
+The following is the list of commands required to download and install smroute.
+
+::
+
+ cd ~
+ git clone https://github.com/troglobit/smcroute.git
+ cd smcroute
+ git reset --hard c3f5c56
+ sed -i 's/aclocal-1.11/aclocal/g' ./autogen.sh
+ sed -i 's/automake-1.11/automake/g' ./autogen.sh
+ ./autogen.sh
+ ./configure
+ make
+ sudo make install
+ cd ..
+
+It is required to do the reset to the specified commit ID.
+It is also requires the creation a configuration file using the following
+command:
+
+ SMCROUTE_NIC=(name of the nic)
+
+where name of the nic is the name used previously for the variable "name_if_2".
+For example:
+
+::
+
+ SMCROUTE_NIC=p1p2
+
+Then create the smcroute configuration file /etc/smcroute.conf
+
+::
+
+ echo mgroup from $SMCROUTE_NIC group 224.192.16.1 > /etc/smcroute.conf
+
+
+At the end of this procedure it will be necessary to perform the following
+actions to add the user to the sudoers:
+
+::
+
+ adduser USERNAME sudo
+ echo "user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
+
+
+Experiment using SR-IOV Configuration on the Compute Node
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+To enable :term:`SR-IOV` interfaces on the physical NIC of the compute node, a
+compatible NIC is required.
+NIC configuration depends on model and vendor. After proper configuration to
+support :term:`SR-IOV`, a proper configuration of OpenStack is required.
+For further information, please refer to the SRIOV_ configuration guide
+
+Finalize installation the framework on the system
+=================================================
+
+The installation of the framework on the system requires the setup of the project.
+After entering into the apexlake directory, it is sufficient to run the following
+command.
+
+::
+
+ python setup.py install
+
+Since some elements are copied into the /tmp directory (see configuration file)
+it could be necessary to repeat this step after a reboot of the host.

+=====================================
+Network Services Benchmarking (NSB)
+=====================================
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+.. _Yardstick: https://wiki.opnfv.org/yardstick
+
+This chapter provides an overview of the NSB, a contribution to OPNFV
+Yardstick_ from Intel.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+GOAL: Extend Yardstick to perform real world VNFs and NFVi Characterization and
+benchmarking with repeatable and deterministic methods.
+
+The Network Service Benchmarking (NSB) extends the yardstick framework to do
+VNF characterization and benchmarking in three different execution
+environments viz., bare metal i.e. native Linux environment, standalone virtual
+environment and managed virtualized environment (e.g. Open stack etc.).
+It also brings in the capability to interact with external traffic generators
+both hardware & software based for triggering and validating the traffic
+according to user defined profiles.
+
+NSB extension includes:
+ • Generic data models of Network Services, based on ETSI specs
+ • New Standalone context for VNF testing like SRIOV, OVS, OVS-DPDK etc
+ • Generic VNF configuration models and metrics implemented with Python
+ classes
+ • Traffic generator features and traffic profiles
+ • L1-L3 state-less traffic profiles
+ • L4-L7 state-full traffic profiles
+ • Tunneling protocol / network overlay support
+ • Test case samples
+ • Ping
+ • Trex
+ • vPE,vCGNAT, vFirewall etc - ipv4 throughput, latency etc
+ • Traffic generators like Trex, ab/nginx, ixia, iperf etc
+ • KPIs for a given use case:
+ • System agent support for collecting NFvi KPI. This includes:
+ o CPU statistic
+ o Memory BW
+ o OVS-DPDK Stats
+ • Network KPIs – eg, inpackets, outpackets, thoughput, latency etc
+ • VNF KPIs – packet_in, packet_drop, packet_fwd etc
+
+Architecture
+============
+The Network Service (NS) defines a set of Virtual Network Functions (VNF)
+connected together using NFV infrastructure.
+
+The Yardstick NSB extension can support multiple VNFs created by different
+vendors including traffic generators. Every VNF being tested has its
+own data model. The Network service defines a VNF modelling on base of performed
+network functionality. The part of the data model is a set of the configuration
+parameters, number of connection points used and flavor including core and
+memory amount.
+
+The ETSI defines a Network Service as a set of configurable VNFs working in
+some NFV Infrastructure connecting each other using Virtual Links available
+through Connection Points. The ETSI MANO specification defines a set of
+management entities called Network Service Descriptors (NSD) and
+VNF Descriptors (VNFD) that define real Network Service. The picture below
+makes an example how the real Network Operator use-case can map into ETSI
+Network service definition
+
+Network Service framework performs the necessary test steps. It may involve
+ o Interacting with traffic generator and providing the inputs on traffic
+ type / packet structure to generate the required traffic as per the
+ test case. Traffic profiles will be used for this.
+ o Executing the commands required for the test procedure and analyses the
+ command output for confirming whether the command got executed correctly
+ or not. E.g. As per the test case, run the traffic for the given
+ time period / wait for the necessary time delay
+ o Verify the test result.
+ o Validate the traffic flow from SUT
+ o Fetch the table / data from SUT and verify the value as per the test case
+ o Upload the logs from SUT onto the Test Harness server
+ o Read the KPI’s provided by particular VNF
+
+Components of Network Service
+------------------------------
+
+* *Models for Network Service benchmarking*: The Network Service benchmarking
+ requires the proper modelling approach. The NSB provides models using Python
+ files and defining of NSDs and VNFDs.
+
+The benchmark control application being a part of OPNFV yardstick can call
+that python models to instantiate and configure the VNFs. Depending on
+infrastructure type (bare-metal or fully virtualized) that calls could be
+made directly or using MANO system.
+
+* *Traffic generators in NSB*: Any benchmark application requires a set of
+ traffic generator and traffic profiles defining the method in which traffic
+ is generated.
+
+The Network Service benchmarking model extends the Network Service
+definition with a set of Traffic Generators (TG) that are treated
+same way as other VNFs being a part of benchmarked network service.
+Same as other VNFs the traffic generator are instantiated and terminated.
+
+Every traffic generator has own configuration defined as a traffic profile and
+a set of KPIs supported. The python models for TG is extended by specific calls
+to listen and generate traffic.
+
+* *The stateless TREX traffic generator*: The main traffic generator used as
+ Network Service stimulus is open source TREX tool.
+
+The TREX tool can generate any kind of stateless traffic.

+Yardstick - NSB Testing -Installation
+=====================================
+
+Abstract
+--------
+
+Yardstick supports installation on Ubuntu 14.04 or via a Docker image. The
+installation procedure on Ubuntu 14.04 or via the docker image are detailed in
+the section below.
+
+The Network Service Benchmarking (NSB) extends the yardstick framework to do
+VNF characterization and benchmarking in three different execution
+environments viz., bare metal i.e. native Linux environment, standalone virtual
+environment and managed virtualized environment (e.g. Open stack etc.).
+It also brings in the capability to interact with external traffic generators
+both hardware & software based for triggering and validating the traffic
+according to user defined profiles.
+
+The steps needed to run Yardstick with NSB testing are:
+
+* Install Yardstick (NSB Testing).
+* Setup pod.yaml describing Test topology
+* Create the test configuration yaml file.
+* Run the test case.
+
+
+Prerequisites

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Before executing yardstick test cases, make sure to activate yardstick
+python virtual environment
+
+::
+ source /opt/nsb_bin/yardstick_venv/bin/activate
+
+
+Examples and verifying the install
+----------------------------------
+
+It is recommended to verify that Yardstick was installed successfully
+by executing some simple commands and test samples. Before executing yardstick
+test cases make sure yardstick flavor and building yardstick-trusty-server
+image can be found in glance and openrc file is sourced. Below is an example
+invocation of yardstick help command and ping.py test sample:
+::
+
+ yardstick –h
+ yardstick task start samples/ping.yaml
+
+Each testing tool supported by Yardstick has a sample configuration file.
+These configuration files can be found in the **samples** directory.
+
+Default location for the output is ``/tmp/yardstick.out``.
+
+
+Run Yardstick - Network Service Testcases

+Yardstick Installation
+======================
+
+Abstract
+--------
+
+Yardstick supports installation on Ubuntu 14.04 or via a Docker image. The
+installation procedure on Ubuntu 14.04 or via the docker image are detailed in
+the section below.
+
+To use Yardstick you should have access to an OpenStack environment, with at
+least Nova, Neutron, Glance, Keystone and Heat installed.
+
+The steps needed to run Yardstick are:
+
+1. Install Yardstick.
+2. Load OpenStack environment variables.
+3. Create a Neutron external network.
+4. Build Yardstick flavor and a guest image.
+5. Load the guest image into the OpenStack environment.
+6. Create the test configuration .yaml file.
+7. Run the test case.
+
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+The OPNFV deployment is out of the scope of this document but it can be
+found in http://artifacts.opnfv.org/opnfvdocs/colorado/docs/configguide/index.html.
+The OPNFV platform is considered as the System Under Test (SUT) in this
+document.
+
+Several prerequisites are needed for Yardstick:
+
+ #. A Jumphost to run Yardstick on
+ #. A Docker daemon shall be installed on the Jumphost
+ #. A public/external network created on the SUT
+ #. Connectivity from the Jumphost to the SUT public/external network
+
+WARNING: Connectivity from Jumphost is essential and it is of paramount
+importance to make sure it is working before even considering to install
+and run Yardstick. Make also sure you understand how your networking is
+designed to work.
+
+NOTE: **Jumphost** refers to any server which meets the previous
+requirements. Normally it is the same server from where the OPNFV
+deployment has been triggered previously.
+
+NOTE: If your Jumphost is operating behind a company http proxy and/or
+Firewall, please consult first the section `Proxy Support`_, towards
+the end of this document. The section details some tips/tricks which
+*may* be of help in a proxified environment.
+
+
+Installing Yardstick on Ubuntu 14.04
+------------------------------------
+
+.. _install-framework:
+
+You can install Yardstick framework directly on Ubuntu 14.04 or in an Ubuntu
+14.04 Docker image. No matter which way you choose to install Yardstick
+framework, the following installation steps are identical.
+
+If you choose to use the Ubuntu 14.04 Docker image, You can pull the Ubuntu
+14.04 Docker image from Docker hub:
+
+::
+
+ docker pull ubuntu:14.04
+
+Installing Yardstick framework
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Download source code and install python dependencies:
+
+::
+
+ git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/yardstick
+ cd yardstick
+ ./install.sh
+
+
+Installing Yardstick using Docker
+---------------------------------
+
+Yardstick has a Docker image, this Docker image (**Yardstick-stable**)
+serves as a replacement for installing the Yardstick framework in a virtual
+environment (for example as done in :ref:`install-framework`).
+It is recommended to use this Docker image to run Yardstick test.
+
+Pulling the Yardstick Docker image
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. _dockerhub: https://hub.docker.com/r/opnfv/yardstick/
+
+Pull the Yardstick Docker image ('opnfv/yardstick') from the public dockerhub
+registry under the OPNFV account: [dockerhub_], with the following docker
+command::
+
+ docker pull opnfv/yardstick:stable
+
+After pulling the Docker image, check that it is available with the
+following docker command::
+
+ [yardsticker@jumphost ~]$ docker images
+ REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
+ opnfv/yardstick stable a4501714757a 1 day ago 915.4 MB
+
+Run the Docker image:
+
+::
+
+ docker run --privileged=true -it opnfv/yardstick:stable /bin/bash
+
+In the container the Yardstick repository is located in the /home/opnfv/repos
+directory.
+
+
+OpenStack parameters and credentials
+------------------------------------
+
+Environment variables
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Before running Yardstick it is necessary to export OpenStack environment variables
+from the OpenStack *openrc* file (using the ``source`` command) and export the
+external network name ``export EXTERNAL_NETWORK="external-network-name"``,
+the default name for the external network is ``net04_ext``.
+
+Credential environment variables in the *openrc* file have to include at least:
+
+* OS_AUTH_URL
+* OS_USERNAME
+* OS_PASSWORD
+* OS_TENANT_NAME
+
+A sample openrc file may look like this:
+
+* export OS_PASSWORD=console
+* export OS_TENANT_NAME=admin
+* export OS_AUTH_URL=http://172.16.1.222:35357/v2.0
+* export OS_USERNAME=admin
+* export OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=2
+* export EXTERNAL_NETWORK=net04_ext
+
+
+Yardstick falvor and guest images
+---------------------------------
+
+Before executing Yardstick test cases, make sure that yardstick guest image and
+yardstick flavor are available in OpenStack.
+Detailed steps about creating yardstick flavor and building yardstick-trusty-server
+image can be found below.
+
+Yardstick-flavor
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Most of the sample test cases in Yardstick are using an OpenStack flavor called
+*yardstick-flavor* which deviates from the OpenStack standard m1.tiny flavor by the
+disk size - instead of 1GB it has 3GB. Other parameters are the same as in m1.tiny.
+
+Create yardstick-flavor:
+
+::
+
+ nova flavor-create yardstick-flavor 100 512 3 1
+
+
+.. _guest-image:
+
+Building a guest image
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Most of the sample test cases in Yardstick are using a guest image called
+*yardstick-trusty-server* which deviates from an Ubuntu Cloud Server image
+containing all the required tools to run test cases supported by Yardstick.
+Yardstick has a tool for building this custom image. It is necessary to have
+sudo rights to use this tool.
+
+Also you may need install several additional packages to use this tool, by
+follwing the commands below:
+
+::
+
+ apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
+ qemu-utils \
+ kpartx
+
+This image can be built using the following command while in the directory where
+Yardstick is installed (``~/yardstick`` if the framework is installed
+by following the commands above):
+
+::
+
+ export YARD_IMG_ARCH="amd64"
+ sudo echo "Defaults env_keep += \"YARD_IMG_ARCH\"" >> /etc/sudoers
+ sudo ./tools/yardstick-img-modify tools/ubuntu-server-cloudimg-modify.sh
+
+**Warning:** the script will create files by default in:
+``/tmp/workspace/yardstick`` and the files will be owned by root!
+
+If you are building this guest image in inside a docker container make sure the
+container is granted with privilege.
+
+The created image can be added to OpenStack using the ``glance image-create`` or
+via the OpenStack Dashboard.
+
+Example command:
+
+::
+
+ glance --os-image-api-version 1 image-create \
+ --name yardstick-image --is-public true \
+ --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare \
+ --file /tmp/workspace/yardstick/yardstick-image.img
+
+Some Yardstick test cases use a Cirros image, you can find one at
+http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.3/cirros-0.3.3-x86_64-disk.img
+
+
+Automatic flavor and image creation
+-----------------------------------
+Yardstick has a script for automatic creating yardstick flavor and building
+guest images. This script is mainly used in CI, but you can still use it in
+your local environment.
+
+Example command:
+
+::
+
+ export YARD_IMG_ARCH="amd64"
+ sudo echo "Defaults env_keep += \"YARD_IMG_ARCH\"" >> /etc/sudoers
+ source $YARDSTICK_REPO_DIR/tests/ci/load_images.sh
+
+
+Yardstick default key pair
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Yardstick uses a SSH key pair to connect to the guest image. This key pair can
+be found in the ``resources/files`` directory. To run the ``ping-hot.yaml`` test
+sample, this key pair needs to be imported to the OpenStack environment.
+
+
+Examples and verifying the install
+----------------------------------
+
+It is recommended to verify that Yardstick was installed successfully
+by executing some simple commands and test samples. Before executing yardstick
+test cases make sure yardstick flavor and building yardstick-trusty-server
+image can be found in glance and openrc file is sourced. Below is an example
+invocation of yardstick help command and ping.py test sample:
+::
+
+ yardstick –h
+ yardstick task start samples/ping.yaml
+
+Each testing tool supported by Yardstick has a sample configuration file.
+These configuration files can be found in the **samples** directory.
+
+Default location for the output is ``/tmp/yardstick.out``.
+
+
+Deploy InfluxDB and Grafana locally
+------------------------------------
+
+.. pull docker images
+
+Pull docker images
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+::
+
+ docker pull tutum/influxdb
+ docker pull grafana/grafana
+
+Run influxdb and config
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Run influxdb
+::
+
+ docker run -d --name influxdb \
+ -p 8083:8083 -p 8086:8086 --expose 8090 --expose 8099 \
+ tutum/influxdb
+ docker exec -it influxdb bash
+
+Config influxdb
+::
+
+ influx
+ >CREATE USER root WITH PASSWORD 'root' WITH ALL PRIVILEGES
+ >CREATE DATABASE yardstick;
+ >use yardstick;
+ >show MEASUREMENTS;
+
+Run grafana and config
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Run grafana
+::
+
+ docker run -d --name grafana -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana
+
+Config grafana
+::
+
+ http://{YOUR_IP_HERE}:3000
+ log on using admin/admin and config database resource to be {YOUR_IP_HERE}:8086
+
+.. image:: images/Grafana_config.png
+ :width: 800px
+ :alt: Grafana data source configration
+
+Config yardstick conf
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+cp ./etc/yardstick/yardstick.conf.sample /etc/yardstick/yardstick.conf
+
+vi /etc/yardstick/yardstick.conf
+Config yardstick.conf
+::
+
+ [DEFAULT]
+ debug = True
+ dispatcher = influxdb
+
+ [dispatcher_influxdb]
+ timeout = 5
+ target = http://{YOUR_IP_HERE}:8086
+ db_name = yardstick
+ username = root
+ password = root
+
+Now you can run yardstick test cases and store the results in influxdb
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+
+Create a test suite for yardstick
+------------------------------------
+
+A test suite in yardstick is a yaml file which include one or more test cases.
+Yardstick is able to support running test suite task, so you can customize you
+own test suite and run it in one task.
+
+"tests/opnfv/test_suites" is where yardstick put ci test-suite. A typical test
+suite is like below:
+
+fuel_test_suite.yaml
+
+::
+
+ ---
+ # Fuel integration test task suite
+
+ schema: "yardstick:suite:0.1"
+
+ name: "fuel_test_suite"
+ test_cases_dir: "samples/"
+ test_cases:
+ -
+ file_name: ping.yaml
+ -
+ file_name: iperf3.yaml
+
+As you can see, there are two test cases in fuel_test_suite, the syntax is simple
+here, you must specify the schema and the name, then you just need to list the
+test cases in the tag "test_cases" and also mark their relative directory in the
+tag "test_cases_dir".
+
+Yardstick test suite also support constraints and task args for each test case.
+Here is another sample to show this, which is digested from one big test suite.
+
+os-nosdn-nofeature-ha.yaml
+
+::
+
+ ---
+
+ schema: "yardstick:suite:0.1"
+
+ name: "os-nosdn-nofeature-ha"
+ test_cases_dir: "tests/opnfv/test_cases/"
+ test_cases:
+ -
+ file_name: opnfv_yardstick_tc002.yaml
+ -
+ file_name: opnfv_yardstick_tc005.yaml
+ -
+ file_name: opnfv_yardstick_tc043.yaml
+ constraint:
+ installer: compass
+ pod: huawei-pod1
+ task_args:
+ huawei-pod1: '{"pod_info": "etc/yardstick/.../pod.yaml",
+ "host": "node4.LF","target": "node5.LF"}'
+
+As you can see in test case "opnfv_yardstick_tc043.yaml", there are two tags, "constraint" and
+"task_args". "constraint" is where you can specify which installer or pod it can be run in
+the ci environment. "task_args" is where you can specify the task arguments for each pod.
+
+All in all, to create a test suite in yardstick, you just need to create a suite yaml file
+and add test cases and constraint or task arguments if necessary.

+===================================
+Installing a plug-in into yardstick
+===================================
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+Yardstick currently provides a ``plugin`` CLI command to support integration
+with other OPNFV testing projects. Below is an example invocation of yardstick
+plugin command and Storperf plug-in sample.
+
+
+Installing Storperf into yardstick
+==================================
+
+Storperf is delivered as a Docker container from
+https://hub.docker.com/r/opnfv/storperf/tags/.
+
+There are two possible methods for installation in your environment:
+
+* Run container on Jump Host
+* Run container in a VM
+
+In this introduction we will install Storperf on Jump Host.
+
+
+Step 0: Environment preparation
+>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
+
+Running Storperf on Jump Host
+Requirements:
+
+* Docker must be installed
+* Jump Host must have access to the OpenStack Controller API
+* Jump Host must have internet connectivity for downloading docker image
+* Enough floating IPs must be available to match your agent count
+
+Before installing Storperf into yardstick you need to check your openstack
+environment and other dependencies:
+
+1. Make sure docker is installed.
+2. Make sure Keystone, Nova, Neutron, Glance, Heat are installed correctly.
+3. Make sure Jump Host have access to the OpenStack Controller API.
+4. Make sure Jump Host must have internet connectivity for downloading docker image.
+5. You need to know where to get basic openstack Keystone authorization info, such as
+ OS_PASSWORD, OS_TENANT_NAME, OS_AUTH_URL, OS_USERNAME.
+6. To run a Storperf container, you need to have OpenStack Controller environment
+ variables defined and passed to Storperf container. The best way to do this is to
+ put environment variables in a "storperf_admin-rc" file. The storperf_admin-rc
+ should include credential environment variables at least:
+
+* OS_AUTH_URL
+* OS_TENANT_ID
+* OS_TENANT_NAME
+* OS_PROJECT_NAME
+* OS_USERNAME
+* OS_PASSWORD
+* OS_REGION_NAME
+
+For this storperf_admin-rc file, during environment preparation a "prepare_storperf_admin-rc.sh"
+script can be used to generate it.
+::
+
+ #!/bin/bash
+ AUTH_URL=${OS_AUTH_URL}
+ USERNAME=${OS_USERNAME:-admin}
+ PASSWORD=${OS_PASSWORD:-console}
+ TENANT_NAME=${OS_TENANT_NAME:-admin}
+ VOLUME_API_VERSION=${OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION:-2}
+ PROJECT_NAME=${OS_PROJECT_NAME:-$TENANT_NAME}
+ TENANT_ID=`keystone tenant-get admin|grep 'id'|awk -F '|' '{print $3}'|sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//'`
+ rm -f ~/storperf_admin-rc
+ touch ~/storperf_admin-rc
+ echo "OS_AUTH_URL="$AUTH_URL >> ~/storperf_admin-rc
+ echo "OS_USERNAME="$USERNAME >> ~/storperf_admin-rc
+ echo "OS_PASSWORD="$PASSWORD >> ~/storperf_admin-rc
+ echo "OS_TENANT_NAME="$TENANT_NAME >> ~/storperf_admin-rc
+ echo "OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION="$VOLUME_API_VERSION >> ~/storperf_admin-rc
+ echo "OS_PROJECT_NAME="$PROJECT_NAME >> ~/storperf_admin-rc
+ echo "OS_TENANT_ID="$TENANT_ID >> ~/storperf_admin-rc
+
+
+Step 1: Plug-in configuration file preparation
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+To install a plug-in, first you need to prepare a plug-in configuration file in
+YAML format and store it in the "plugin" directory. The plugin configration file
+work as the input of yardstick "plugin" command. Below is the Storperf plug-in
+configuration file sample:
+::
+
+ ---
+ # StorPerf plugin configuration file
+ # Used for integration StorPerf into Yardstick as a plugin
+ schema: "yardstick:plugin:0.1"
+ plugins:
+ name: storperf
+ deployment:
+ ip: 192.168.23.2
+ user: root
+ password: root
+
+In the plug-in configuration file, you need to specify the plug-in name and the
+plug-in deployment info, including node ip, node login username and password.
+Here the Storperf will be installed on IP 192.168.23.2 which is the Jump Host
+in my local environment.
+
+Step 2: Plug-in install/remove scripts preparation
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Under "yardstick/resource/scripts directory", there are two folders: a "install"
+folder and a "remove" folder. You need to store the plug-in install/remove script
+in these two folders respectively.
+
+The detailed installation or remove operation should de defined in these two scripts.
+The name of both install and remove scripts should match the plugin-in name that you
+specified in the plug-in configuration file.
+For example, the install and remove scripts for Storperf are both named to "storperf.bash".
+
+
+Step 3: Install and remove Storperf
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+To install Storperf, simply execute the following command
+::
+
+ # Install Storperf
+ yardstick plugin install plugin/storperf.yaml
+
+removing Storperf from yardstick
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To remove Storperf, simply execute the following command
+::
+
+ # Remove Storperf
+ yardstick plugin remove plugin/storperf.yaml
+
+What yardstick plugin command does is using the username and password to log into the deployment target and then execute the corresponding install or remove script.

+Store Storperf Test Results into Community's InfluxDB

+.. _Visual: https://wiki.opnfv.org/download/attachments/6827660/tc074.PNG?version=1&modificationDate=1470298075000&api=v2
+.. _Login: http://testresults.opnfv.org/grafana/login
+
+As shown in Framework_, there are two ways to store Storperf test results
+into community's InfluxDB:
+
+1. Yardstick asks Storperf to run the test case. After the test case is
+ completed, Yardstick reads test results via ReST API from Storperf and
+ posts test data to the influxDB.
+
+2. Additionally, Storperf can run tests by itself and post the test result
+ directly to the InfluxDB. The method for posting data directly to influxDB
+ will be supported in the future.
+
+Our plan is to support rest-api in D release so that other testing projects can
+call the rest-api to use yardstick dispatcher service to push data to yardstick's
+influxdb database.
+
+For now, influxdb only support line protocol, and the json protocol is deprecated.
+
+Take ping test case for example, the raw_result is json format like this:
+::
+
+ "benchmark": {
+ "timestamp": 1470315409.868095,
+ "errors": "",
+ "data": {
+ "rtt": {
+ "ares": 1.125
+ }
+ },
+ "sequence": 1
+ },
+ "runner_id": 2625
+ }
+
+With the help of "influxdb_line_protocol", the json is transform to like below as a line string:
+::
+
+ 'ping,deploy_scenario=unknown,host=athena.demo,installer=unknown,pod_name=unknown,
+ runner_id=2625,scenarios=Ping,target=ares.demo,task_id=77755f38-1f6a-4667-a7f3-
+ 301c99963656,version=unknown rtt.ares=1.125 1470315409868094976'
+
+So, for data output of json format, you just need to transform json into line format and call
+influxdb api to post the data into the database. All this function has been implemented in Influxdb_.
+If you need support on this, please contact Mingjiang_.
+::
+
+ curl -i -XPOST 'http://104.197.68.199:8086/write?db=yardstick' --
+ data-binary 'ping,deploy_scenario=unknown,host=athena.demo,installer=unknown, ...'
+
+Grafana will be used for visualizing the collected test data, which is shown in Visual_. Grafana
+can be accessed by Login_.

+Grafana dashboard
+=================
+
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+This chapter describes the Yardstick grafana dashboard. The Yardstick grafana
+dashboard can be found here: http://testresults.opnfv.org/grafana/
+
+
+.. image:: images/login.png
+ :width: 800px
+ :alt: Yardstick grafana dashboard
+
+
+Public access
+=============
+
+Yardstick provids a public account for accessing to the dashboard. The username
+and password are both set to ‘opnfv’.
+
+
+Testcase dashboard
+==================
+
+For each test case, there is a dedicated dashboard. Shown here is the dashboard
+of TC002.
+
+
+.. image:: images/TC002.png
+ :width: 800px
+ :alt:TC002 dashboard
+
+For each test case dashboard. On the top left, we have a dashboard selection,
+you can switch to different test cases using this pull-down menu.
+
+Underneath, we have a pod and scenario selection.
+All the pods and scenarios that have ever published test data to the InfluxDB
+will be shown here.
+
+You can check multiple pods or scenarios.
+
+For each test case, we have a short description and a link to detailed test
+case information in Yardstick user guide.
+
+Underneath, it is the result presentation section.
+You can use the time period selection on the top right corner to zoom in or
+zoom out the chart.
+
+
+Administration access
+=====================
+
+For a user with administration rights it is easy to update and save any
+dashboard configuration. Saved updates immediately take effect and become live.
+This may cause issues like:
+
+- Changes and updates made to the live configuration in Grafana can compromise
+ existing Grafana content in an unwanted, unpredicted or incompatible way.
+ Grafana as such is not version controlled, there exists one single Grafana
+ configuration per dashboard.
+- There is a risk several people can disturb each other when doing updates to
+ the same Grafana dashboard at the same time.
+
+Any change made by administrator should be careful.
+
+
+Add a dashboard into yardstick grafana
+======================================
+
+Due to security concern, users that using the public opnfv account are not able
+to edit the yardstick grafana directly.It takes a few more steps for a
+non-yardstick user to add a custom dashboard into yardstick grafana.
+
+There are 6 steps to go.
+
+
+.. image:: images/add.png
+ :width: 800px
+ :alt: Add a dashboard into yardstick grafana
+
+
+1. You need to build a local influxdb and grafana, so you can do the work
+ locally. You can refer to How to deploy InfluxDB and Grafana locally wiki
+ page about how to do this.
+
+2. Once step one is done, you can fetch the existing grafana dashboard
+ configuration file from the yardstick repository and import it to your local
+ grafana. After import is done, you grafana dashboard will be ready to use
+ just like the community’s dashboard.
+
+3. The third step is running some test cases to generate test results and
+ publishing it to your local influxdb.
+
+4. Now you have some data to visualize in your dashboard. In the fourth step,
+ it is time to create your own dashboard. You can either modify an existing
+ dashboard or try to create a new one from scratch. If you choose to modify
+ an existing dashboard then in the curtain menu of the existing dashboard do
+ a "Save As..." into a new dashboard copy instance, and then continue doing
+ all updates and saves within the dashboard copy.
+
+5. When finished with all Grafana configuration changes in this temporary
+ dashboard then chose "export" of the updated dashboard copy into a JSON file
+ and put it up for review in Gerrit, in file /yardstick/dashboard/Yardstick-TCxxx-yyyyyyyyyyyyy.
+ For instance a typical default name of the file would be "Yardstick-TC001 Copy-1234567891234".
+
+6. Once you finish your dashboard, the next step is exporting the configuration
+ file and propose a patch into Yardstick. Yardstick team will review and
+ merge it into Yardstick repository. After approved review Yardstick team
+ will do an "import" of the JSON file and also a "save dashboard" as soon as
+ possible to replace the old live dashboard configuration.

+
+Task Template Syntax
+====================
+
+Basic template syntax
+---------------------
+A nice feature of the input task format used in Yardstick is that it supports
+the template syntax based on Jinja2.
+This turns out to be extremely useful when, say, you have a fixed structure of
+your task but you want to parameterize this task in some way.
+For example, imagine your input task file (task.yaml) runs a set of Ping
+scenarios:
+
+::
+
+ # Sample benchmark task config file
+ # measure network latency using ping
+ schema: "yardstick:task:0.1"
+
+ scenarios:
+ -
+ type: Ping
+ options:
+ packetsize: 200
+ host: athena.demo
+ target: ares.demo
+
+ runner:
+ type: Duration
+ duration: 60
+ interval: 1
+
+ sla:
+ max_rtt: 10
+ action: monitor
+
+ context:
+ ...
+
+Let's say you want to run the same set of scenarios with the same runner/
+context/sla, but you want to try another packetsize to compare the performance.
+The most elegant solution is then to turn the packetsize name into a template
+variable:
+
+::
+
+ # Sample benchmark task config file
+ # measure network latency using ping
+
+ schema: "yardstick:task:0.1"
+ scenarios:
+ -
+ type: Ping
+ options:
+ packetsize: {{packetsize}}
+ host: athena.demo
+ target: ares.demo
+
+ runner:
+ type: Duration
+ duration: 60
+ interval: 1
+
+ sla:
+ max_rtt: 10
+ action: monitor
+
+ context:
+ ...
+
+and then pass the argument value for {{packetsize}} when starting a task with
+this configuration file.
+Yardstick provides you with different ways to do that:
+
+1.Pass the argument values directly in the command-line interface (with either
+a JSON or YAML dictionary):
+
+::
+
+ yardstick task start samples/ping-template.yaml
+ --task-args'{"packetsize":"200"}'
+
+2.Refer to a file that specifies the argument values (JSON/YAML):
+
+::
+
+ yardstick task start samples/ping-template.yaml --task-args-file args.yaml
+
+Using the default values
+------------------------
+Note that the Jinja2 template syntax allows you to set the default values for
+your parameters.
+With default values set, your task file will work even if you don't
+parameterize it explicitly while starting a task.
+The default values should be set using the {% set ... %} clause (task.yaml).
+For example:
+
+::
+
+ # Sample benchmark task config file
+ # measure network latency using ping
+ schema: "yardstick:task:0.1"
+ {% set packetsize = packetsize or "100" %}
+ scenarios:
+ -
+ type: Ping
+ options:
+ packetsize: {{packetsize}}
+ host: athena.demo
+ target: ares.demo
+
+ runner:
+ type: Duration
+ duration: 60
+ interval: 1
+ ...
+
+If you don't pass the value for {{packetsize}} while starting a task, the
+default one will be used.
+
+Advanced templates
+------------------
+
+Yardstick makes it possible to use all the power of Jinja2 template syntax,
+including the mechanism of built-in functions.
+As an example, let us make up a task file that will do a block storage
+performance test.
+The input task file (fio-template.yaml) below uses the Jinja2 for-endfor
+construct to accomplish that:
+
+::
+
+ #Test block sizes of 4KB, 8KB, 64KB, 1MB
+ #Test 5 workloads: read, write, randwrite, randread, rw
+ schema: "yardstick:task:0.1"
+
+ scenarios:
+ {% for bs in ['4k', '8k', '64k', '1024k' ] %}
+ {% for rw in ['read', 'write', 'randwrite', 'randread', 'rw' ] %}
+ -
+ type: Fio
+ options:
+ filename: /home/ubuntu/data.raw
+ bs: {{bs}}
+ rw: {{rw}}
+ ramp_time: 10
+ host: fio.demo
+ runner:
+ type: Duration
+ duration: 60
+ interval: 60
+
+ {% endfor %}
+ {% endfor %}
+ context
+ ...

+
+The project's goal is to verify infrastructure compliance, from the perspective
+of a Virtual Network Function (VNF).
+
+The Project's scope is the development of a test framework, *Yardstick*, test
+cases and test stimuli to enable Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure
+(NFVI) verification.
+
+In OPNFV Brahmaputra release, generic test cases covering aspects of the
+metrics in the document ETSI GS NFV-TST001_, "Pre-deployment Testing; Report on
+Validation of NFV Environments and Services" are available; further OPNFV
+releases will provide extended testing of these metrics.
+
+The Project also includes a sample VNF, the Virtual Traffic Classifier (VTC)
+and its experimental framework, *ApexLake*.
+
+*Yardstick* is used in OPNFV for verifying the OPNFV infrastructure and some of
+the OPNFV features. The *Yardstick* framework is deployed in several OPNFV
+community labs. It is *installer*, *infrastructure* and *application*
+independent.

+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | The purpose of TC001 is to evaluate the IaaS network |
+| | performance with regards to flows and throughput, such as if |
+| | and how different amounts of flows matter for the throughput |
+| | between hosts on different compute blades. Typically e.g. |
+| | the performance of a vSwitch depends on the number of flows |
+| | running through it. Also performance of other equipment or |
+| | entities can depend on the number of flows or the packet |
+| | sizes used. |
+| | |
+| | The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends. |
+| | Test results, graphs and similar shall be stored for |
+| | comparison reasons and product evolution understanding |
+| | between different OPNFV versions and/or configurations. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | pktgen |
+| | |
+| | Linux packet generator is a tool to generate packets at very |
+| | high speed in the kernel. pktgen is mainly used to drive and |
+| | LAN equipment test network. pktgen supports multi threading. |
+| | To generate random MAC address, IP address, port number UDP |
+| | packets, pktgen uses multiple CPU processors in the |
+| | different PCI bus (PCI, PCIe bus) with Gigabit Ethernet |
+| | tested (pktgen performance depends on the CPU processing |
+| | speed, memory delay, PCI bus speed hardware parameters), |
+| | Transmit data rate can be even larger than 10GBit/s. Visible |
+| | can satisfy most card test requirements. |
+| | |
+| | (Pktgen is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence it |
+| | needs to be installed. It is part of the Yardstick Docker |
+| | image. |
+| | As an example see the /yardstick/tools/ directory for how |
+| | to generate a Linux image with pktgen included.) |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test | This test case uses Pktgen to generate packet flow between |
+|description | two hosts for simulating network workloads on the SUT. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|traffic | An IP table is setup on server to monitor for received |
+|profile | packets. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc001.yaml |
+| | |
+| | Packet size is set to 60 bytes. |
+| | Number of ports: 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000, where each |
+| | runs for 20 seconds. The whole sequence is run twice |
+| | The client and server are distributed on different hardware. |
+| | |
+| | For SLA max_ppm is set to 1000. The amount of configured |
+| | ports map to between 110 up to 1001000 flows, respectively. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | Test can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * packet sizes; |
+| | * amount of flows; |
+| | * test duration. |
+| | |
+| | Default values exist. |
+| | |
+| | SLA (optional): max_ppm: The number of packets per million |
+| | packets sent that are acceptable to loose, not received. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|usability | This test case is used for generating high network |
+| | throughput to simulate certain workloads on the SUT. Hence |
+| | it should work with other test cases. |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | The purpose of TC002 is to do a basic verification that |
+| | network latency is within acceptable boundaries when packets |
+| | travel between hosts located on same or different compute |
+| | blades. |
+| | |
+| | The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends. |
+| | Test results, graphs and similar shall be stored for |
+| | comparison reasons and product evolution understanding |
+| | between different OPNFV versions and/or configurations. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | ping |
+| | |
+| | Ping is a computer network administration software utility |
+| | used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet |
+| | Protocol (IP) network. It measures the round-trip time for |
+| | packet sent from the originating host to a destination |
+| | computer that are echoed back to the source. |
+| | |
+| | Ping is normally part of any Linux distribution, hence it |
+| | doesn't need to be installed. It is also part of the |
+| | Yardstick Docker image. |
+| | (For example also a Cirros image can be downloaded from |
+| | cirros-image_, it includes ping) |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test topology | Ping packets (ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST |
+| | datagram) are sent from host VM to target VM(s) to elicit |
+| | ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE. |
+| | |
+| | For one host VM there can be multiple target VMs. |
+| | Host VM and target VM(s) can be on same or different compute |
+| | blades. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc002.yaml |
+| | |
+| | Packet size 100 bytes. Test duration 60 seconds. |
+| | One ping each 10 seconds. Test is iterated two times. |
+| | SLA RTT is set to maximum 10 ms. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | This test case can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * packet sizes; |
+| | * burst sizes; |
+| | * ping intervals; |
+| | * test durations; |
+| | * test iterations. |
+| | |
+| | Default values exist. |
+| | |
+| | SLA is optional. The SLA in this test case serves as an |
+| | example. Considerably lower RTT is expected, and also normal |
+| | to achieve in balanced L2 environments. However, to cover |
+| | most configurations, both bare metal and fully virtualized |
+| | ones, this value should be possible to achieve and |
+| | acceptable for black box testing. Many real time |
+| | applications start to suffer badly if the RTT time is higher |
+| | than this. Some may suffer bad also close to this RTT, while |
+| | others may not suffer at all. It is a compromise that may |
+| | have to be tuned for different configuration purposes. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|usability | This test case is one of Yardstick's generic test. Thus it |
+| | is runnable on most of the scenarios. |

+|test tool | fio |
+| | |
+| | fio is an I/O tool meant to be used both for benchmark and |
+| | stress/hardware verification. It has support for 19 |
+| | different types of I/O engines (sync, mmap, libaio, |
+| | posixaio, SG v3, splice, null, network, syslet, guasi, |
+| | solarisaio, and more), I/O priorities (for newer Linux |
+| | kernels), rate I/O, forked or threaded jobs, and much more. |
+| | |
+| | (fio is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence it |
+| | needs to be installed. As an example see the |
+| | /yardstick/tools/ directory for how to generate a Linux |
+| | image with fio included.) |

+| | fio is run for each IO type and IO block size scheme, |
+| | each iteration runs for 30 seconds (10 for ramp time, 20 for |
+| | runtime). |
+| | |
+| | For SLA, minimum read/write iops is set to 100, |

+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metric | Memory read latency (nanoseconds) |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | The purpose of TC010 is to evaluate the IaaS compute |
+| | performance with regards to memory read latency. |
+| | It measures the memory read latency for varying memory sizes |
+| | and strides. Whole memory hierarchy is measured. |
+| | |
+| | The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends. |
+| | Test results, graphs and similar shall be stored for |
+| | comparison reasons and product evolution understanding |
+| | between different OPNFV versions and/or configurations. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | Lmbench |
+| | |
+| | Lmbench is a suite of operating system microbenchmarks. This |
+| | test uses lat_mem_rd tool from that suite including: |
+| | * Context switching |
+| | * Networking: connection establishment, pipe, TCP, UDP, and |
+| | RPC hot potato |
+| | * File system creates and deletes |
+| | * Process creation |
+| | * Signal handling |
+| | * System call overhead |
+| | * Memory read latency |
+| | |
+| | (LMbench is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence |
+| | it needs to be installed. As an example see the |
+| | /yardstick/tools/ directory for how to generate a Linux |
+| | image with LMbench included.) |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test | LMbench lat_mem_rd benchmark measures memory read latency |
+|description | for varying memory sizes and strides. |
+| | |
+| | The benchmark runs as two nested loops. The outer loop is |
+| | the stride size. The inner loop is the array size. For each |
+| | array size, the benchmark creates a ring of pointers that |
+| | point backward one stride.Traversing the array is done by: |
+| | |
+| | p = (char **)*p; |
+| | |
+| | in a for loop (the over head of the for loop is not |
+| | significant; the loop is an unrolled loop 100 loads long). |
+| | The size of the array varies from 512 bytes to (typically) |
+| | eight megabytes. For the small sizes, the cache will have an |
+| | effect, and the loads will be much faster. This becomes much |
+| | more apparent when the data is plotted. |
+| | |
+| | Only data accesses are measured; the instruction cache is |
+| | not measured. |
+| | |
+| | The results are reported in nanoseconds per load and have |
+| | been verified accurate to within a few nanoseconds on an SGI |
+| | Indy. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | File: opnfv_yardstick_tc010.yaml |
+| | |
+| | * SLA (max_latency): 30 nanoseconds |
+| | * Stride - 128 bytes |
+| | * Stop size - 64 megabytes |
+| | * Iterations: 10 - test is run 10 times iteratively. |
+| | * Interval: 1 - there is 1 second delay between each |
+| | iteration. |
+| | |
+| | SLA is optional. The SLA in this test case serves as an |
+| | example. Considerably lower read latency is expected. |
+| | However, to cover most configurations, both baremetal and |
+| | fully virtualized ones, this value should be possible to |
+| | achieve and acceptable for black box testing. |
+| | Many heavy IO applications start to suffer badly if the |
+| | read latency is higher than this. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | Test can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * strides; |
+| | * stop_size; |
+| | * iterations and intervals. |
+| | |
+| | Default values exist. |
+| | |
+| | SLA (optional) : max_latency: The maximum memory latency |
+| | that is accepted. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|usability | This test case is one of Yardstick's generic test. Thus it |
+| | is runnable on most of the scenarios. |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | The purpose of TC011 is to evaluate the IaaS network |
+| | performance with regards to network jitter (packet delay |
+| | variation). |
+| | It measures the packet delay variation sending the packets |
+| | from one VM to the other. |
+| | |
+| | The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends. |
+| | Test results, graphs and similar shall be stored for |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | iperf3 |
+| | |
+| | iPerf3 is a tool for active measurements of the maximum |
+| | achievable bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of |
+| | various parameters related to timing, buffers and protocols. |
+| | The UDP protocols can be used to measure jitter delay. |
+| | |
+| | (iperf3 is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence it |
+| | needs to be installed. It is part of the Yardstick Docker |
+| | image. As an example see the /yardstick/tools/ directory for |
+| | how to generate a Linux image with pktgen included.) |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test | iperf3 test is invoked between a host VM and a target VM. |
+|description | |
+| | Jitter calculations are continuously computed by the server, |
+| | as specified by RTP in RFC 1889. The client records a 64 bit |
+| | second/microsecond timestamp in the packet. The server |
+| | computes the relative transit time as (server's receive time |
+| | - client's send time). The client's and server's clocks do |
+| | not need to be synchronized; any difference is subtracted |
+| | outin the jitter calculation. Jitter is the smoothed mean of |
+| | differences between consecutive transit times. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | File: opnfv_yardstick_tc011.yaml |
+| | |
+| | * options: |

+| | without pausing |
+| | * runner: |
+| | duration: 30 # Total test duration 30 seconds. |
+| | |
+| | * SLA (optional): |
+| | jitter: 10 (ms) # The maximum amount of jitter that is |
+| | accepted. |

+| | |
+| | * jitter: SLA is optional. The SLA in this test case |
+| | serves as an example. |
+| | |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | LMbench |
+| | |
+| | LMbench is a suite of operating system microbenchmarks. |
+| | This test uses bw_mem tool from that suite including: |
+| | * Cached file read |
+| | * Memory copy (bcopy) |
+| | * Memory read |
+| | * Memory write |
+| | * Pipe |
+| | * TCP |
+| | |
+| | (LMbench is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence |
+| | it needs to be installed. As an example see the |
+| | /yardstick/tools/ directory for how to generate a Linux |
+| | image with LMbench included.) |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test | LMbench bw_mem benchmark allocates twice the specified |
+|description | amount of memory, zeros it, and then times the copying of |
+| | the first half to the second half. The benchmark is invoked |
+| | in a host VM on a compute blade. Results are reported in |
+| | megabytes moved per second. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | File: opnfv_yardstick_tc012.yaml |
+| | |
+| | * SLA (optional): 15000 (MBps) min_bw: The minimum amount of |
+| | memory bandwidth that is accepted. |
+| | * Size: 10 240 kB - test allocates twice that size |
+| | (20 480kB) zeros it and then measures the time it takes to |
+| | copy from one side to another. |
+| | * Benchmark: rdwr - measures the time to read data into |
+| | memory and then write data to the same location. |
+| | * Warmup: 0 - the number of iterations to perform before |
+| | taking actual measurements. |
+| | * Iterations: 10 - test is run 10 times iteratively. |
+| | * Interval: 1 - there is 1 second delay between each |
+| | iteration. |
+| | |
+| | SLA is optional. The SLA in this test case serves as an |
+| | example. Considerably higher bandwidth is expected. |
+| | However, to cover most configurations, both baremetal and |
+| | fully virtualized ones, this value should be possible to |
+| | achieve and acceptable for black box testing. |
+| | Many heavy IO applications start to suffer badly if the |
+| | read/write bandwidths are lower than this. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | Test can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * memory sizes; |
+| | * memory operations (such as rd, wr, rdwr, cp, frd, fwr, |
+| | fcp, bzero, bcopy); |
+| | * number of warmup iterations; |
+| | * iterations and intervals. |
+| | |
+| | Default values exist. |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test | The UnixBench runs system benchmarks in a host VM on a |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC019_HA: Control node Openstack service down|
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | This test case will verify the high availability of the |
+| | service provided by OpenStack (like nova-api, neutro-server) |
+| | on control node. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test method | This test case kills the processes of a specific Openstack |
+| | service on a selected control node, then checks whether the |
+| | request of the related Openstack command is OK and the killed|
+| | processes are recovered. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|attackers | In this test case, an attacker called "kill-process" is |
+| | needed. This attacker includes three parameters: |
+| | 1) fault_type: which is used for finding the attacker's |
+| | scripts. It should be always set to "kill-process" in this |
+| | test case. |
+| | 2) process_name: which is the process name of the specified |
+| | OpenStack service. If there are multiple processes use the |
+| | same name on the host, all of them are killed by this |
+| | attacker. |
+| | 3) host: which is the name of a control node being attacked. |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | -fault_type: "kill-process" |
+| | -process_name: "nova-api" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|monitors | In this test case, two kinds of monitor are needed: |
+| | 1. the "openstack-cmd" monitor constantly request a specific |
+| | Openstack command, which needs two parameters: |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which is used for finding the monitor class |
+| | and related scritps. It should be always set to |
+| | "openstack-cmd" for this monitor. |
+| | 2) command_name: which is the command name used for request |
+| | |
+| | 2. the "process" monitor check whether a process is running |
+| | on a specific node, which needs three parameters: |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which used for finding the monitor class and|
+| | related scritps. It should be always set to "process" |
+| | for this monitor. |
+| | 2) process_name: which is the process name for monitor |
+| | 3) host: which is the name of the node runing the process |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | monitor1: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -command_name: "nova image-list" |
+| | monitor2: |
+| | -monitor_type: "process" |
+| | -process_name: "nova-api" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metrics | In this test case, there are two metrics: |
+| | 1)service_outage_time: which indicates the maximum outage |
+| | time (seconds) of the specified Openstack command request. |
+| | 2)process_recover_time: which indicates the maximun time |
+| | (seconds) from the process being killed to recovered |
+| | |

+| | "yardstick/benchmark/scenarios/availability/ha_tools" |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|references | ETSI NFV REL001 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | This test case needs two configuration files: |
+| | 1) test case file: opnfv_yardstick_tc019.yaml |
+| | -Attackers: see above "attackers" discription |
+| | -waiting_time: which is the time (seconds) from the process |
+| | being killed to stoping monitors the monitors |
+| | -Monitors: see above "monitors" discription |
+| | -SLA: see above "metrics" discription |
+| | |
+| | 2)POD file: pod.yaml |
+| | The POD configuration should record on pod.yaml first. |
+| | the "host" item in this test case will use the node name in |
+| | the pod.yaml. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test sequence | description and expected result |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1 | start monitors: |
+| | each monitor will run with independently process |
+| | |
+| | Result: The monitor info will be collected. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2 | do attacker: connect the host through SSH, and then execute |
+| | the kill process script with param value specified by |
+| | "process_name" |
+| | |
+| | Result: Process will be killed. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | stop monitors after a period of time specified by |
+| | "waiting_time" |
+| | |
+| | Result: The monitor info will be aggregated. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | verify the SLA |
+| | |
+| | Result: The test case is passed or not. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|post-action | It is the action when the test cases exist. It will check the|
+| | status of the specified process on the host, and restart the |
+| | process if it is not running for next test cases |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |
+| | execution problem. |

+| |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC025_HA: OpenStack Controller Node |
+| | abnormally shutdown |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | This test case will verify the high availability of |
+| | controller node. When one of the controller node abnormally |
+| | shutdown, the service provided by it should be OK. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test method | This test case shutdowns a specified controller node with |
+| | some fault injection tools, then checks whether all services |
+| | provided by the controller node are OK with some monitor |
+| | tools. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|attackers | In this test case, an attacker called "host-shutdown" is |
+| | needed. This attacker includes two parameters: |
+| | 1) fault_type: which is used for finding the attacker's |
+| | scripts. It should be always set to "host-shutdown" in |
+| | this test case. |
+| | 2) host: the name of a controller node being attacked. |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | -fault_type: "host-shutdown" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|monitors | In this test case, one kind of monitor are needed: |
+| | 1. the "openstack-cmd" monitor constantly request a specific |
+| | Openstack command, which needs two parameters |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which is used for finding the monitor class |
+| | and related scritps. It should be always set to |
+| | "openstack-cmd" for this monitor. |
+| | 2) command_name: which is the command name used for request |
+| | |
+| | There are four instance of the "openstack-cmd" monitor: |
+| | monitor1: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -api_name: "nova image-list" |
+| | monitor2: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -api_name: "neutron router-list" |
+| | monitor3: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -api_name: "heat stack-list" |
+| | monitor4: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -api_name: "cinder list" |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metrics | In this test case, there is one metric: |
+| | 1)service_outage_time: which indicates the maximum outage |
+| | time (seconds) of the specified Openstack command request. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | Developed by the project. Please see folder: |
+| | "yardstick/benchmark/scenarios/availability/ha_tools" |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|references | ETSI NFV REL001 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | This test case needs two configuration files: |
+| | 1) test case file: opnfv_yardstick_tc019.yaml |
+| | -Attackers: see above "attackers" discription |
+| | -waiting_time: which is the time (seconds) from the process |
+| | being killed to stoping monitors the monitors |
+| | -Monitors: see above "monitors" discription |
+| | -SLA: see above "metrics" discription |
+| | |
+| | 2)POD file: pod.yaml |
+| | The POD configuration should record on pod.yaml first. |
+| | the "host" item in this test case will use the node name in |
+| | the pod.yaml. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test sequence | description and expected result |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1 | start monitors: |
+| | each monitor will run with independently process |
+| | |
+| | Result: The monitor info will be collected. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2 | do attacker: connect the host through SSH, and then execute |
+| | shutdown script on the host |
+| | |
+| | Result: The host will be shutdown. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | stop monitors after a period of time specified by |
+| | "waiting_time" |
+| | |
+| | Result: All monitor result will be aggregated. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | verify the SLA |
+| | |
+| | Result: The test case is passed or not. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|post-action | It is the action when the test cases exist. It restarts the |
+| | specified controller node if it is not restarted. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |
+| | execution problem. |
+| | |

+|test purpose | The purpose of TC037 is to evaluate the IaaS compute |
+| | capacity and network performance with regards to CPU |
+| | utilization, packet flows and network throughput, such as if |
+| | and how different amounts of flows matter for the throughput |
+| | between hosts on different compute blades, and the CPU load |
+| | variation. |
+| | |
+| | Typically e.g. the performance of a vSwitch depends on the |
+| | number of flows running through it. Also performance of |
+| | other equipment or entities can depend on the number of |
+| | flows or the packet sizes used |
+| | |
+| | The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends. |
+| | Test results, graphs and similar shall be stored for |
+| | comparison reasons and product evolution understanding |
+| | between different OPNFV versions and/or configurations. |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | Ping, Pktgen, mpstat |
+| | |
+| | Ping is a computer network administration software utility |
+| | used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet |
+| | Protocol (IP) network. It measures the round-trip time for |
+| | packet sent from the originating host to a destination |
+| | computer that are echoed back to the source. |
+| | |
+| | Linux packet generator is a tool to generate packets at very |
+| | high speed in the kernel. pktgen is mainly used to drive and |
+| | LAN equipment test network. pktgen supports multi threading. |
+| | To generate random MAC address, IP address, port number UDP |
+| | packets, pktgen uses multiple CPU processors in the |
+| | different PCI bus (PCI, PCIe bus) with Gigabit Ethernet |
+| | tested (pktgen performance depends on the CPU processing |
+| | speed, memory delay, PCI bus speed hardware parameters), |
+| | Transmit data rate can be even larger than 10GBit/s. Visible |
+| | can satisfy most card test requirements. |
+| | |
+| | The mpstat command writes to standard output activities for |
+| | each available processor, processor 0 being the first one. |
+| | Global average activities among all processors are also |
+| | reported. The mpstat command can be used both on SMP and UP |
+| | machines, but in the latter, only global average activities |
+| | will be printed. |
+| | |
+| | (Ping is normally part of any Linux distribution, hence it |
+| | doesn't need to be installed. It is also part of the |
+| | Yardstick Docker image. |
+| | For example also a Cirros image can be downloaded from |
+| | cirros-image_, it includes ping. |
+| | |
+| | Pktgen and mpstat are not always part of a Linux |
+| | distribution, hence it needs to be installed. It is part of |
+| | the Yardstick Docker image. |
+| | As an example see the /yardstick/tools/ directory for how |
+| | to generate a Linux image with pktgen and mpstat included.) |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test | This test case uses Pktgen to generate packet flow between |
+|description | two hosts for simulating network workloads on the SUT. |
+| | Ping packets (ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST |
+| | datagram) are sent from a host VM to the target VM(s) to |
+| | elicit ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE, meanwhile CPU activities are |
+| | monitored by mpstat. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc037.yaml |
+| | |
+| | Packet size is set to 64 bytes. |
+| | Number of ports: 1, 10, 50, 100, 300, 500, 750 and 1000. |
+| | The amount configured ports map from 2 up to 1001000 flows, |
+| | respectively. Each port amount is run two times, for 20 |
+| | seconds each. Then the next port_amount is run, and so on. |
+| | During the test CPU load on both client and server, and the |
+| | network latency between the client and server are measured. |
+| | The client and server are distributed on different hardware. |
+| | mpstat monitoring interval is set to 1 second. |
+| | ping packet size is set to 100 bytes. |
+| | For SLA max_ppm is set to 1000. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | Test can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * pktgen packet sizes; |
+| | * amount of flows; |
+| | * test duration; |
+| | * ping packet size; |
+| | * mpstat monitor interval. |
+| | |
+| | Default values exist. |
+| | |

+| | 'pktgen_benchmark', "ping_benchmark" bash script are copyied |
+| | from Jump Host to the server VM via the ssh tunnel. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | An IP table is setup on server to monitor for received |
+| | packets. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | pktgen is invoked to generate packet flow between two server |
+| | and client for simulating network workloads on the SUT. Ping |
+| | is invoked. Ping packets are sent from server VM to client |
+| | VM. mpstat is invoked, recording activities for each |
+| | available processor. Results are processed and checked |
+| | against the SLA. Logs are produced and stored. |
+| | |
+| | Result: Logs are stored. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 5 | Two host VMs are deleted. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |

+| | |
+| | The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends. |

+| | One ping each 10 seconds. SLA RTT is set to maximum 10 ms. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | This test case can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * packet sizes; |
+| | * burst sizes; |
+| | * ping intervals; |
+| | * test durations; |
+| | * test iterations. |
+| | |
+| | Default values exist. |
+| | |
+| | SLA is optional. The SLA in this test case serves as an |
+| | example. Considerably lower RTT is expected, and also normal |
+| | to achieve in balanced L2 environments. However, to cover |
+| | most configurations, both bare metal and fully virtualized |
+| | ones, this value should be possible to achieve and |
+| | acceptable for black box testing. Many real time |
+| | applications start to suffer badly if the RTT time is higher |
+| | than this. Some may suffer bad also close to this RTT, while |
+| | others may not suffer at all. It is a compromise that may |
+| | have to be tuned for different configuration purposes. |

+|Control Node Openstack Service High Availability - Neutron Server |
+| |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC045: Control node Openstack service down - |
+| | neutron server |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | This test case will verify the high availability of the |
+| | network service provided by OpenStack (neutro-server) on |
+| | control node. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test method | This test case kills the processes of neutron-server service |
+| | on a selected control node, then checks whether the request |
+| | of the related Openstack command is OK and the killed |
+| | processes are recovered. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|attackers | In this test case, an attacker called "kill-process" is |
+| | needed. This attacker includes three parameters: |
+| | 1) fault_type: which is used for finding the attacker's |
+| | scripts. It should be always set to "kill-process" in this |
+| | test case. |
+| | 2) process_name: which is the process name of the specified |
+| | OpenStack service. If there are multiple processes use the |
+| | same name on the host, all of them are killed by this |
+| | attacker. |
+| | In this case. This parameter should always set to "neutron- |
+| | server". |
+| | 3) host: which is the name of a control node being attacked. |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | -fault_type: "kill-process" |
+| | -process_name: "neutron-server" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|monitors | In this test case, two kinds of monitor are needed: |
+| | 1. the "openstack-cmd" monitor constantly request a specific |
+| | Openstack command, which needs two parameters: |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which is used for finding the monitor class |
+| | and related scritps. It should be always set to |
+| | "openstack-cmd" for this monitor. |
+| | 2) command_name: which is the command name used for request. |
+| | In this case, the command name should be neutron related |
+| | commands. |
+| | |
+| | 2. the "process" monitor check whether a process is running |
+| | on a specific node, which needs three parameters: |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which used for finding the monitor class and|
+| | related scritps. It should be always set to "process" |
+| | for this monitor. |
+| | 2) process_name: which is the process name for monitor |
+| | 3) host: which is the name of the node runing the process |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | monitor1: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -command_name: "neutron agent-list" |
+| | monitor2: |
+| | -monitor_type: "process" |
+| | -process_name: "neutron-server" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metrics | In this test case, there are two metrics: |
+| | 1)service_outage_time: which indicates the maximum outage |
+| | time (seconds) of the specified Openstack command request. |
+| | 2)process_recover_time: which indicates the maximun time |
+| | (seconds) from the process being killed to recovered |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | This test case needs two configuration files: |
+| | 1) test case file: opnfv_yardstick_tc045.yaml |
+| | -Attackers: see above "attackers" discription |
+| | -waiting_time: which is the time (seconds) from the process |
+| | being killed to stoping monitors the monitors |
+| | -Monitors: see above "monitors" discription |
+| | -SLA: see above "metrics" discription |
+| | |
+| | 2)POD file: pod.yaml |
+| | The POD configuration should record on pod.yaml first. |
+| | the "host" item in this test case will use the node name in |
+| | the pod.yaml. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test sequence | description and expected result |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1 | start monitors: |
+| | each monitor will run with independently process |
+| | |
+| | Result: The monitor info will be collected. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2 | do attacker: connect the host through SSH, and then execute |
+| | the kill process script with param value specified by |
+| | "process_name" |
+| | |
+| | Result: Process will be killed. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | stop monitors after a period of time specified by |
+| | "waiting_time" |
+| | |
+| | Result: The monitor info will be aggregated. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | verify the SLA |
+| | |
+| | Result: The test case is passed or not. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|post-action | It is the action when the test cases exist. It will check the|
+| | status of the specified process on the host, and restart the |
+| | process if it is not running for next test cases |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |
+| | execution problem. |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC049: Control node Openstack service down - |
+| | swift proxy |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | This test case will verify the high availability of the |
+| | storage service provided by OpenStack (swift-proxy) on |
+| | control node. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test method | This test case kills the processes of swift-proxy service on |
+| | a selected control node, then checks whether the request of |
+| | the related Openstack command is OK and the killed processes |
+| | are recovered. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|attackers | In this test case, an attacker called "kill-process" is |
+| | needed. This attacker includes three parameters: |
+| | 1) fault_type: which is used for finding the attacker's |
+| | scripts. It should be always set to "kill-process" in this |
+| | test case. |
+| | 2) process_name: which is the process name of the specified |
+| | OpenStack service. If there are multiple processes use the |
+| | same name on the host, all of them are killed by this |
+| | attacker. |
+| | In this case. This parameter should always set to "swift- |
+| | proxy". |
+| | 3) host: which is the name of a control node being attacked. |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | -fault_type: "kill-process" |
+| | -process_name: "swift-proxy" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|monitors | In this test case, two kinds of monitor are needed: |
+| | 1. the "openstack-cmd" monitor constantly request a specific |
+| | Openstack command, which needs two parameters: |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which is used for finding the monitor class |
+| | and related scritps. It should be always set to |
+| | "openstack-cmd" for this monitor. |
+| | 2) command_name: which is the command name used for request. |
+| | In this case, the command name should be swift related |
+| | commands. |
+| | |
+| | 2. the "process" monitor check whether a process is running |
+| | on a specific node, which needs three parameters: |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which used for finding the monitor class and|
+| | related scritps. It should be always set to "process" |
+| | for this monitor. |
+| | 2) process_name: which is the process name for monitor |
+| | 3) host: which is the name of the node runing the process |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | monitor1: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -command_name: "swift stat" |
+| | monitor2: |
+| | -monitor_type: "process" |
+| | -process_name: "swift-proxy" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metrics | In this test case, there are two metrics: |
+| | 1)service_outage_time: which indicates the maximum outage |
+| | time (seconds) of the specified Openstack command request. |
+| | 2)process_recover_time: which indicates the maximun time |
+| | (seconds) from the process being killed to recovered |

++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC053: OpenStack Controller Load Balance |
+| | Service High Availability |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | This test case will verify the high availability of the |
+| | load balance service(current is HAProxy) that supports |
+| | OpenStack on controller node. When the load balance service |
+| | of a specified controller node is killed, whether other load |
+| | balancers on other controller nodes will work, and whether |
+| | the controller node will restart the load balancer are |
+| | checked. |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test method | This test case kills the processes of load balance service |
+| | on a selected control node, then checks whether the request |
+| | of the related Openstack command is OK and the killed |
+| | processes are recovered. |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|attackers | In this test case, an attacker called "kill-process" is |
+| | needed. This attacker includes three parameters: |
+| | 1) fault_type: which is used for finding the attacker's |
+| | scripts. It should be always set to "kill-process" in this |
+| | test case. |
+| | 2) process_name: which is the process name of the specified |
+| | OpenStack service. If there are multiple processes use the |
+| | same name on the host, all of them are killed by this |
+| | attacker. |
+| | In this case. This parameter should always set to "swift- |
+| | proxy". |
+| | 3) host: which is the name of a control node being attacked. |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | -fault_type: "kill-process" |
+| | -process_name: "haproxy" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|monitors | In this test case, two kinds of monitor are needed: |
+| | 1. the "openstack-cmd" monitor constantly request a specific |
+| | Openstack command, which needs two parameters: |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which is used for finding the monitor class |
+| | and related scritps. It should be always set to |
+| | "openstack-cmd" for this monitor. |
+| | 2) command_name: which is the command name used for request. |
+| | |
+| | 2. the "process" monitor check whether a process is running |
+| | on a specific node, which needs three parameters: |
+| | 1) monitor_type: which used for finding the monitor class |
+| | and related scripts. It should be always set to "process" |
+| | for this monitor. |
+| | 2) process_name: which is the process name for monitor |
+| | 3) host: which is the name of the node runing the process |
+| | In this case, the command_name of monitor1 should be |
+| | services that is supported by load balancer and the process- |
+| | name of monitor2 should be "haproxy", for example: |
+| | |
+| | e.g. |
+| | monitor1: |
+| | -monitor_type: "openstack-cmd" |
+| | -command_name: "nova image-list" |
+| | monitor2: |
+| | -monitor_type: "process" |
+| | -process_name: "haproxy" |
+| | -host: node1 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metrics | In this test case, there are two metrics: |
+| | 1)service_outage_time: which indicates the maximum outage |
+| | time (seconds) of the specified Openstack command request. |
+| | 2)process_recover_time: which indicates the maximun time |
+| | (seconds) from the process being killed to recovered |
+| | |

+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|references | ETSI NFV REL001 |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | This test case needs two configuration files: |
+| | 1) test case file: opnfv_yardstick_tc053.yaml |
+| | -Attackers: see above "attackers" discription |
+| | -waiting_time: which is the time (seconds) from the process |
+| | being killed to stoping monitors the monitors |
+| | -Monitors: see above "monitors" discription |
+| | -SLA: see above "metrics" discription |
+| | |
+| | 2)POD file: pod.yaml |
+| | The POD configuration should record on pod.yaml first. |
+| | the "host" item in this test case will use the node name in |
+| | the pod.yaml. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test sequence | description and expected result |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1 | start monitors: |
+| | each monitor will run with independently process |
+| | |
+| | Result: The monitor info will be collected. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2 | do attacker: connect the host through SSH, and then execute |
+| | the kill process script with param value specified by |
+| | "process_name" |
+| | |
+| | Result: Process will be killed. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | stop monitors after a period of time specified by |
+| | "waiting_time" |
+| | |
+| | Result: The monitor info will be aggregated. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | verify the SLA |
+| | |
+| | Result: The test case is passed or not. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|post-action | It is the action when the test cases exist. It will check |

+| | characterization of typical VF storage performance |
+| | requirements, it can provide pass/fail thresholds for test, |
+| | staging, and production NFVI environments. |
+| | |
+| | The benchmarks developed for block and object storage will |
+| | be sufficiently varied to provide a good preview of expected |
+| | storage performance behavior for any type of VNF workload. |

+| | The path to either an attached storage device |
+| | (/dev/vdb, etc) or a directory path (/opt/storperf) that |
+| | will be used to execute the performance test. In the case |
+| | of a device, the entire device will be used. If not |
+| | specified, the current directory will be used. |
+| | * workload=[workload module] |
+| | If not specified, the default is to run all workloads. The |

+| | - rw: 70% Read / 30% write, random access |
+| | * nossd: Do not perform SSD style preconditioning. |
+| | * nowarm: Do not perform a warmup prior to |
+| | measurements. |
+| | * report= [job_id] |
+| | Query the status of the supplied job_id and report on |
+| | metrics. If a workload is supplied, will report on only |
+| | that subset. |

+| | There are two possible methods for Storperf installation: |
+| | Run container on Jump Host |
+| | Run container in a VM |
+| | |
+| | Running StorPerf on Jump Host |
+| | Requirements: |
+| | - Docker must be installed |
+| | - Jump Host must have access to the OpenStack Controller |
+| | API |
+| | - Jump Host must have internet connectivity for |
+| | downloading docker image |
+| | - Enough floating IPs must be available to match your |
+| | agent count |
+| | |
+| | Running StorPerf in a VM |
+| | Requirements: |
+| | - VM has docker installed |
+| | - VM has OpenStack Controller credentials and can |
+| | communicate with the Controller API |
+| | - VM has internet connectivity for downloading the |
+| | docker image |
+| | - Enough floating IPs must be available to match your |
