monasca-log-api/monasca_log_api_tempest

Introduction

Monasca-Log-Api requires following components set up in the environment:

• monasca-log-transformer - component receiving data from monasca-log-api
• monasca-log-persister - component saves data to ElasticSearch
• ElasticSearch - database that stores logs

Those three components are all part of monasca-elkstack Ansible role.

Monasca-Log-Api can be installed with following role. In order to setup schema (kafka topics) please see this role.

Installation next to monasca-api

Monasca-Api and Monasca-Log-Api can be installed next to each other. Each one has been designed to work with different aspects of monitoring. Therefore it is possible to proceed with installation as described here.

Configuration

1. Clone the OpenStack Tempest repo, and cd to it.

    git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/tempest.git
    cd tempest

2. Create a virtualenv for running the Tempest tests and activate it. For example in the Tempest root dir

    virtualenv .venv
    source .venv/bin/activate

3. Install the Tempest requirements in the virtualenv.

    pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt
    pip install nose

4. Create etc/tempest.conf in the Tempest root dir by running the following command:

oslo-config-generator --config-file etc/config-generator.tempest.conf --output-file etc/tempest.conf

Add the following sections to tempest.conf for testing using the monasca-vagrant environment.

[identity]
auth_version = v3
admin_domain_name = Default
admin_tenant_name = admin
admin_password = admin
admin_username = admin
alt_tenant_name = demo
alt_password = admin
alt_username = alt_demo
tenant_name = mini-mon
password = password
username = mini-mon
uri_v3 = http://192.168.10.5:35357/v3/
uri = http://192.168.10.5:35357/v2.0/
force_tenant_isolation = False
allow_tenant_isolation = False
disable_ssl_certificate_validation = True
kibana_version = 4.4.0

[auth]
allow_tenant_isolation = true

Edit the the variable values in the identity section to match your particular monasca-vagrant environment.

5. Create etc/logging.conf in the Tempest root dir by making a copying logging.conf.sample.

6. Clone the monasca-log-api repo in a directory somewhere outside of the Tempest root dir.

7. Install the monasca-log-api in your venv, which will also register the Monasca Log Api Tempest Plugin as, monasca_log_api_tempest.

   cd into the monasa-log-api root directory. Making sure that the tempest virtual env is still active, run the following command.

python setup.py install

See the OpenStack Tempest Plugin Interface, for more details on Tempest Plugins and the plugin registration process.

Running the Monasca Log Api Tempest

The Monasca Tempest Tests can be run using a variety of methods including:

1. Testr
2. Os-testr
3. PyCharm
4. Tempest Scripts in Devstack

Run the tests from the CLI using testr

Testr is a test runner that can be used to run the Tempest tests.

1. In the Tempest root dir, create a list of the Monasca Tempest Tests in a file.

testr list-tests monasca_log_api_tempest > monasca_log_api_tempest

2. Run the tests using testr

testr run --load-list=monasca_log_api_tempest

You can also use testr to create a list of specific tests for your needs.

Run the tests from the CLI using os-testr (no file necessary)

Os-testr is a test wrapper that can be used to run the Monasca Tempest tests.

1. In the Tempest root dir:

ostestr --serial --regex monasca_log_api_tempest

--serial option is necessary here. Monasca Log Api tempest tests can't be run in parallel (default option in ostestr) because some tests depend on the same data and will randomly fail.

Running/Debugging the Monasca Tempest Tests in PyCharm

Assuming that you have already created a PyCharm project for the monasca-log-api do the following:

1. In PyCharm, Edit Configurations and add a new Python tests configuration by selecting Python tests->Nosetests.
2. Name the test. For example TestSingleLog.
3. Set the path to the script with the tests to run. For example, ~/repos/monasca-log-api/monasca_log_api_tempest/tests/test_single.py
4. Set the name of the Class to test. For example TestVersions.
5. Set the working directory to your local root Tempest repo. For example, ~/repos/tempest.
6. Select the Python interpreter for your project to be the same as the one virtualenv created above. For example, ~/repos/tempest/.venv
7. Run the tests. You should also be able to debug them.
8. Step and repeat for other tests.

Run the tests from the CLI using tempest scripts in devstack

1. In /opt/stack/tempest, run ./run_tempest.sh monasca_log_api_tempest
2. If asked to create a new virtual environment, select yes
3. Activate the virtual environment source .venv/bin/activate
4. In your monasca-log-api directory, run python setup.py install
5. In /opt/stack/tempest, run ./run_tempest.sh monasca_log_api_tempest

• Tempest Configuration Guide
• OpenStack Tempest Plugin Interface

In addition to the above references, another source of information is the following OpenStack projects:

• Manila Tempest Tests
• Congress Tempest Tests. In particular, the Manila Tempest Tests were used as a reference implementation to develop the Monasca Tempest Tests. There is also a wiki HOWTO use tempest with manila that might be useful for Monasca too.

Issues

• Update documentation for testing using Devstack when available.
• Consider changing from monasca_tempest_tests to monasca_api_tempest_tests.
