Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [kloudbuster] authorization failed problem

Thanks Yichen and Alec.
Yichen, It was what I was looking for. I started with Rally , but faced problem 
with defining the number of router per tenant and traffic generation. Then, I 
found that there is a new project Kloudbuster. I faced some issues , but with 
your help , I succeeded in running it.
One suggestion: I think Rally developers  are also trying for the traffic 
generation. So just make sure, we don't have two things for the same work under 
the openstack umbrella.

We're also using Rally to test our control plane. Data plane testing at scale 
is a whole different ballgame (than control plane) and we had very specific 
scale test requirements in mind for our own usage as far back as late 2014, 
which is why we developed kloudbuster in Feb 2015 with HTTP traffic at scale. 
At that time there was no solution available for doing automated data plane 
scale testing, even today as you can see the number of solutions is actually 
very limited.
Anyway if the Rally developers are interested to discuss about it, I or Yichen 
would be happy to discuss.


One Request:  I have not contributed to any project till now. I am interested 
in contributing to the Kloudbuster project. Please suggest how to start and 
help me in getting up to speed.

There is currently no bug backlog in kloudbuster. Since we use it quite a lot, 
every issue we run into is fixed pretty quickly but it is likely there are 
uncovered issues when run in a different environment.
There are also obviously many feature enhancements of any size but we only add 
when there is an ask as we want to keep the code small (do one thing but do it 
well).
If you use it and find a bug or need some enhancement, you're welcome to 
contribute and we can help root cause and fix.
Have you been looking for traffic generation for any particular purpose? We use 
it for testing our openstack data plane at scale (and storage now).

Regards,

  Alec

Hi, Akshay,

Just curious, how do you find KloudBuster so far? Does it do its job and fit 
your needs? ☺

Thanks very much!

Akshay,

Note that version 6 is now released so please use the official image from the 
OpenStack App Catalog and update your code to latest.
The doc has also been updated, you might want to have a look at the new arch 
section and gallery - those should help you with the questions you had below 
regarding the scale test staging and traffic flows.

Thanks

   Alec

Hi Yichen,
Thanks a lot . I will try with v6 and reach out to you for further help.

Hi, Akshay,

From the log you attached, the good news is you got KloudBuster installed and 
running fine! The problem is the image you are using (v5) is outdated for the 
latest KloudBuster main code. ☺

Normally for every version of KloudBuster, it needs certain version of image to 
support the full functionality. In the case when new feature is brought in, we 
tag the main code with a new version, and bump up the image version. Like from 
v5 to v6, we added the capability to support storage testing on cinder volume 
and ephemeral disks as well. We are right in our time for publishing the v6 
image to the OpenStack App Catalog, which may take another day or two. This is 
why you are seeing the connection to the redis agent in KB-Proxy is failing…

In order to unblock you, here is the RC image of v6 we are using right now, 
replace it in your cloud and KloudBuster should be good to go:
https://cisco.box.com/s/xelzx15swjra5qr0ieafyxnbyucnnsa0

Now back to your question.
-Does the server side means the cloud generating the traffic and client side 
means the the cloud on which connections are established? Can you please 
elaborate on client, server and proxy?
[Yichen] It is the other way around. Server is running nginx, and client is 
running the traffic generator (wrk2). It is like the way we normally 
understand. Since there might be lots of servers and clients in the same cloud, 
so KB-Proxy is an additional VM that runs in the clients side to orchestrate 
all client VMs to generate traffic, collect the results from each VM, and send 
them back to the main KloudBuster for processing. KB-Proxy is the where the 
redis server is sitting, and acts as the proxy node to connect all internal VMs 
to the external network. This is why a floating IP is needed for the proxy node.

-while running the kloudbuster, I saw "setting up redis connection". Can you 
please expain to which connection is established and why? Is it KB_PROXY?
[Yichen] As I explained above, KB-Proxy is the bridge between internal VM and 
external world (like the host you are running KloudBuster from). “Setting up 
redis connection” means the KloudBuster is trying to connect to the redis 
server on the KB-Proxy node. You may see some retries because it does take some 
time for the VM to be up running.

Thanks very much!

Regards,
Yichen

Hi Alec,
Thanks for clarifying. I didnot have the cinder service previously. It was not 
a complete setup. Now, I did the setup of cinder service.
Output of keystone service list.
[Inline image 1]
I installed the setup of openstack using the installation guide for ubuntu and 
for kloudbuster, its a pypi based installation. So, I am running kloudbuster 
using the CLI option.
kloudbuster --tested-rc keystone-openrc.sh --tested-passwd ***** --config kb.cfg

contents of kb.cfg:
image_name: 'kloudbuster'

I added the kloudbuster v5 version as glance image with name as kloudbuster.

I don't understand some basic things. If you can help, then that would be great.
-Does the server side means the cloud generating the traffic and client side 
means the the cloud on which connections are established? Can you please 
elaborate on client, server and proxy?
-while running the kloudbuster, I saw "setting up redis connection". Can you 
please expain to which connection is established and why? Is it KB_PROXY?

Please find attached the run of kloudbuster as a file. I have still not 
succeeded in running the kloudbuster, some errors.
I appreciate your help Alec.

Thanks,
Akshay

Can you describe what you mean by "do not have a cinder service"?
Can you provide the output of "keystone service-list"?

We'd have to know a bit more about what you have been doing:
how did you install your openstack, how did you install kloudbuster, which 
kloudbuster qcow2 image version did you use, who did you run kloudbuster (cli 
or REST or web UI), what config file have you been using, complete log of the 
run (including backtrace)...

But the key is - you should really have a fully working openstack deployment 
before using kloudbuster. Nobody has never tried so far to use kloudbuster 
without such basic service as cinder working.

Thanks

  Alec

Hi Alec,
Thanks for the help. I ran into another problem. At present I do not have a 
cinder service. So ,when i am trying to run kloudbuster, I am getting this 
error:
"EndpointNotFound: publicURL endpoint for volumev2 service not found"
Is it possible to run the scale test (creation of VMs, router, network) without 
having a cinder service? Any option that can be used so that kloudbuster can 
run without cinder.

Thanks,
Akshay

Hi Akshay

The URL you are using is a private address (http://192.168.138.51:5000/v2.0) 
and is likely the reason it does not work.
If you run the kloudbuster App in the cloud, this app needs to have access to 
the cloud under test.
So even if you can access 192.168.138.51 from your local browser (which runs on 
your workstation or laptop) it may not be accessible from a VM that runs in 
your cloud.
For that to work you need to get an URL that is reachable from the VM.

In some cases where the cloud under test is local, it is easier to just run 
kloudbuster locally as well (from the same place where you can ping 
192.168.138.51).
You can either use a local VM to run the kloudbuster image (vagrant, virtual 
box...) or just simpler, install kloudbuster locally using git clone or pip 
install (see the installation instructions in the doc 
http://kloudbuster.readthedocs.org/en/latest/).

   Alec
