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.
+Both the Performance and the Stability tests were executed against an ONAP installation in the Policy tenant
+in the UNH lab, from the admin 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:
+Agent VMs in this lab have the following configuration:
- 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.
+Jmeter is run from the admin VM.
-Other ONAP components used during the stability tests are:
+The drools-pdp container uses the JVM memory and CPU settings from the default OOM installation.
+
+Other ONAP components exercised during the stability tests were:
- 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.
+- XACML PDP Stability test was running at the same time.
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"
+- SDNR.
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:
+The tests focused on the following use cases running in parallel:
- 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
+- SON O1
+- SON A1
-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).
+Three 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
+started the next one 250 ms. later.
-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.

-==========================
+Commentary
+==========
-ControlLoop-vFirewall-d0a1dfc6-94f5-4fd4-a5b5-4630b438850a:
+There is around 1% unexpected failures during the 72-hour run. This can also be seen in the
+final output of jmeter:
.. code-block:: bash
- Max: 4016 ms, Min: 177 ms, Average: 644 ms [samples taken for average: 36460]
+ summary = 4751546 in 72:00:37 = 18.3/s Avg: 150 Min: 0 Max: 15087 Err: 47891 (1.01%)
-.. image:: images/ControlLoop-vFirewall-d0a1dfc6-94f5-4fd4-a5b5-4630b438850a.png
+Sporadic database errors have been observed and seem related to the 1% failure percentage rate.
