-Install & Configure VisualVM
-----------------------------
-
-VisualVM needs to be installed in the virtual machine having apex-pdp. It will be used to monitor CPU, Memory, GC for apex-pdp while stability test is running.
-
-Install visualVM
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- sudo apt-get install visualvm
-
-Login to VM using graphical interface in separate terminal window.
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- ssh -X <user>@<VM-IP-ADDRESS>
-
-Open visualVM
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- visualvm &
-
-Connect to apex-pdp JVM's JMX agent
-1. Right click on "Local" in the left panel of the screen and select "Add Local JMX Connection..."
-2. Enter localhost:9911 for "Connection", and click OK
-3. Double click on the newly added nodes under "Local" to start monitoring CPU, Memory & GC.

-Test Plan
----------
-
-The 72 hours stability test will run the following steps in 5 threaded loop.
-
-- **Send Input Event** - sends an input message to rest interface of apex-pdp.
-- **Assert Response Code** - assert the response code coming from apex-pdp.
-- **Assert Response Message** - assert the response message coming from apex-pdp.
-
-The following steps can be used to configure the parameters of test plan.
-
-- **HTTP Header Manager** - used to store headers which will be used for making HTTP requests.
-- **HTTP Request Defaults** - used to store HTTP request details like Server Name or IP, Port, Protocol etc.
-- **User Defined Variables** - used to store following user defined parameters.
-
-================== ============================================================================ ============================
-**Name** **Description** **Default Value**
-================== ============================================================================ ============================
-wait Wait time after each request (in milliseconds) 500
-threads Number of threads to run test cases in parallel. 5
-threadsTimeOutInMs Synchronization timer for threads running in parallel (in milliseconds). 5000
-================== ============================================================================ ============================
-
-
-Download and update the jmx file presented in the apex-pdp git repository - `jmx file path <https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=policy/apex-pdp.git;a=tree;f=testsuites/apex-pdp-stability/src/main/resources;h=99d373033a190a690d4e05012bc3a656cae7bc3f;hb=refs/heads/master>`_.
-
-- HTTPSampler.domain - The ip address of VM which the apex container is running
-- HTTPSampler.port - The listening port, here is 23324
-- ThreadGroup.druation - Set the duration to 72 hours (in seconds)
-
-Use the CLI mode to start the test
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- ./jmeter.sh -n -t ~/apexPdpStabilityTestPlan.jmx -Jusers=1 -l ~/stability.log
-
-Stability Test Result
----------------------
-
-**Summary**
-
-Stability test plan was triggered for 72 hours injecting input events to apex-pdp from 5 client threads.
-
-Once the test has complete - we can generate a HTML test report via the following command
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- ~/jMeter/apache-jmeter-5.2.1/bin/jmeter -g stability.log -o ./result/
-

-Stability Test of Apex PDP
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The 72 hour Stability Test for apex-pdp has the goal of introducing a steady flow of transactions using jMeter.
-
-The input event will be submitted through the rest interface of DMaaP , which then triggers a grpc request to CDS. Based on the response, another DMaaP event is triggered.
-
-This test will be performed in an OOM deployment setup. The test will be performed in a multi-threaded environment where 5 threads running in JMeter will keep sending events for the duration of 72 hours.
