Policy Drools PDP component
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Both the Performance and the Stability tests were executed against an 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 installation runs the following components in a single VM:
-
-- AAF
-- AAI
-- DMAAP
-- POLICY
-
-The VM has the following hardware spec:
-
-- 126GB RAM
-- 12 VCPUs
-- 155GB Ephemeral Disk
-
-Jmeter is run from a different VM with the following configuration:
+Agent VMs in this lab have the following configuration:
- 16GB RAM
-- 8 VCPUs
-- 155GB Ephemeral Disk
+- 8 VCPU
-The drools-pdp container uses the JVM memory settings from a default OOM installation.
+Jmeter is run from the admin VM.
+
+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 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.
-
-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
-to add the following script that enables the controlloop-utils feature:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- oom/kubernetes/policy/charts/drools/resources/configmaps/features.pre.sh:
-
- #!/bin/sh
- sh -c "features enable controlloop-utils"
+- SDNR.
Stability Test of Policy PDP-D
******************************
PDP-D performance
=================
-The tests 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 (failure by introducing in the DCAE ONSET a non-existent vserver-name reference).
-- vFirewall success scenario.
-
-Five threads ran in parallel, one for each scenario, back to back with no pauses. 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.
-
-JMeter was run in a docker container with the following command:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- docker run --interactive --tty --name jmeter --rm --volume $PWD:/jmeter -e VERBOSE_GC="" egaillardon/jmeter-plugins --nongui --testfile s3p.jmx --loglevel WARN
-
-The results were accessed by using the telemetry API to gather statistics:

Commentary
==========
-There has been a degradation of performance observed in this release
-when compared with the previous one.
-Approximately 1% of transactions were not completed as expected for
-some use cases. Average Execution Times are extended as well.
-The unexpected results seem to point in the direction of the
-interactions of the distributed locking feature with the database.
-These areas as well as the conditions for the test need to be investigated
-further.
+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
- # Common pattern in the audit.log for unexpected transaction completions
