I just realized I missed this thread when Andrey responded to it – apologies!
I was thinking of things like – confirming VMware username and password are accurate, confirming that SSL certificate chain is valid, etc. – some of these are not plugin based, but I think there is value in enabling both core components and plugins to specify tests that can be run prior to deployment that will help ensure the deployment will not fail. Does that make sense? In this case, it is not confirming the deployment was successful (post-deployment), it is checking known parameters for validity prior to attempting to deploy (pre-deployment). *From:* Samuel Bartel [mailto:samuel.bartel....@gmail.com] *Sent:* Monday, September 28, 2015 11:13 AM *To:* OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) < openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org> *Subject:* Re: [openstack-dev] [Fuel][Plugins] add health check for plugins Hi, Totally agree with you Andrey, other use cases could be : -for Ironic plugin, add test to validate that Ironic is properly deploy -for LMA plugin check that metric and log are properly collect, that elk, nagios or grafana dashboard are accessible -for cinder netapp multi backend, check that different type of backend can be crreated and so on So it would be very intersting to have enxtensibility ofr OSTF test Samuel 2015-09-08 0:05 GMT+02:00 Andrey Danin <ada...@mirantis.com>: Hi. Sorry for bringing this thread back from the grave but it look quite interesting to me. Sheena, could you please explain how pre-deployment sanity checks should look like? I don't get what it is. >From the Health Check point of view plugins may be divided to two groups: 1) A plugin that doesn't change an already covered functionality thus doesn't require extra tests implemented. Such plugins may be Contrail and almost all SDN plugins, Glance or Cinder backend plugins, and others which don't bring any changes in OSt API or any extra OSt components. 2) A plugin that adds new elements into OSt or changes API or a standard behavior. Such plugins may be Contrail (because it actually adds Contrail Controller which may be covered by Health Check too), Cisco ASR plugin (because it always creates HA routers), some Swift plugins (we don't have Swift/S3 API covered by Health Check now at all), SR-IOV plugins (because they require special network preparation and extra drivers to be presented in an image), when a combination of different ML2 plugins or hypervisors deployed (because you need to test all network underlayers or HVs). So, all that means we need to make OSTF extendible by Fuel plugin's tests eventually.

Do you have any concrete example to illustrate your point (with one of your plugins maybe)?

I am wondering if it could be interesting to improve the fuel plugin framework in order to be able to define test for each plugin which would ba dded to the health Check. the user would be able to test the plugin when testing the deployment test. What do you think about that?
