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. - |
