Policy Drools PDP component
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Both the Performance and the Stability tests were executed against a default ONAP installation in the policy-k8s tenant in the windriver lab, from an independent VM running the jmeter tool to inject the load.
+
+General Setup
+*************
+
+The kubernetes installation allocated all policy components in the same worker node VM and some additional ones.
+The worker VM hosting the policy components has the following spec:
+
+- 16GB RAM
+- 8 VCPU
+- 160GB Ephemeral Disk
+
+The standalone VM designated to run jmeter has the same configuration. The jmeter JVM
+was instantiated with a max heap configuration of 12G.
+
+Other ONAP components used during the stability tests are:
+
+- Policy XACML PDP to process guard queries for each transaction.
+- DMaaP to carry PDP-D and jmeter initiated traffic to complete transactions.
+- Policy API to create (and delete at the end of the tests) policies for each
+ scenario under test.
+- Policy PAP to deploy (and undeploy at the end of the tests) policies for each scenario under test.
+
+The following components are simulated during the tests.
+
+- SO actor for the vDNS use case.
+- APPC responses for the vCPE and vFW use cases.
+- AAI to answer queries for the use cases under test.
+
+In order to avoid interferences with the APPC component while running the tests,
+the APPC component was disabled.
+
+SO, and AAI actors were simulated within the PDP-D JVM by enabling the
+feature-controlloop-utils before running the tests.
+
+PDP-D Setup
+***********
+
+The kubernetes charts were modified previous to the installation with
+the changes below.
+
+The feature-controlloop-utils was started by adding the following script:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ oom/kubernetes/policy/charts/drools/resources/configmaps/features.pre.sh:
+
+ #!/bin/bash
+ bash -c "features enable controlloop-utils"
+
+Stability Test of Policy PDP-D
+******************************
+
+The 72 hour stability test happened in parallel with the stability run of the API component.
+
+Worker Node performance
+=======================
+
+The VM named onap-k8s-09 was monitored for the duration of the 72 hours
+stability run. The table below show the usage ranges:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ NAME CPU(cores) CPU%
+ onap-k8s-09 <=1214m <=20%
+
+PDP-D performance
+=================
+
+The test set focused on the following use cases:
+
+- vCPE
+- vDNS
+- vFirewall
+
+For 72 hours the following 5 scenarios ran in parallel:
+
+- vCPE success scenario
+- vCPE failure scenario (failure returned by simulated APPC recipient through DMaaP).
+- vDNS success scenario.
+- vDNS failure scenario.
+- vFirewall success scenario.
+
+Five threads ran in parallel, one for each scenario. The transactions were initiated
+by each jmeter thread group. Each thread initiated a transaction, monitored the transaction, and
+as soon as the transaction ending was detected, it initiated the next one, so back to back with no
+pauses.
+
+All transactions completed successfully as it was expected in each scenario, with no failures.
+
+The command executed was
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./jmeter -n -t /home/ubuntu/drools-applications/testsuites/stability/src/main/resources/frankfurt/s3p.jmx -l /home/ubuntu/jmeter_result/jmeter.jtl -e -o /home/ubuntu/jmeter_result > /dev/null 2>&1
+
+The results were computed by taking the ellapsed time from the audit.log
+(this log reports all end to end transactions, marking the start, end, and
+ellapsed times).
+
+The count reflects the number of successful transactions as expected in the
+use case, as well as the average, standard deviation, and max/min. An histogram
+of the response times have been added as a visual indication on the most common
+transaction times.
