- Perform post-test correlation/causation analysis.
- Adapt the Test-Traffic patterns based on the Alerts.
The first aim is to create custom kibana dashboard analyzing and synthesizing VSPERF logs/events. For every test-run, VSPERF generates following logs:
- vsperf-overall
- vswitchd
- trafficgen
- host-cmds
- guest-cmds
These logs have useful information that can help user to understand the test behavior, and analyze the performance results.
VSPERF will have Alerting from the Monitoring component, and lacks alerting from the logs. As the next step, this project aims to use the same information - The logs - and create alerts than will be notified to VSPERF. The Trafficgenerators of the VSPERF will be the main consumers of these alerts.
