# A script used for checking graphite replication
#
# Methodology:
# Background - In a previous step we insert values 0 until 359 (every 10 seconds)
# incrementing by 1 each time
#
# To validate that the data is in this will:
# a) generate datapoints from 0 to 359 and store into expected_points
# b) retrieve the datapoints for the same time period from local graphite
# c) every datapoint that is in graphite is then removed from the expected_points
# d) every datapoint that failed to be removed is added to not_found
#
# So effectively the outputs are:
#   Expected set (0..359)
#   (expected set) minus (graphite values)
#   (graphite values) minus (expected set)
#
# Conclusions are:
# If data is found in here that were not fed in, then some sort of 'normalization'
# or re-archiving has happened

so if you are seeing weird stuff in the graphs .. for the "past" .. this is why:

[default_1min_for_1day]
pattern = .*
retentions = 10s:6h,1min:6d,10min:1800d
[carbon]
pattern = ^carbon\.
retentions = 10s:6h,1min:90d

so this means for 6 hour old data, the "accuracy" (probably the wrong word to use maybe I should say resolution) is going to be 10 seconds .. after that it becomes "1 minute" so for example if i have a metric that goes 0 ... <10 sec later> 1 afterwards it will appear: [3.5, 1447257540] [9.5, 1447257600] [15.5, 1447257660] (presumably that 3.5 is not 4.5 because it didn't quite align with the 60 seconds)

In practice this is how it looks when inputting 0...359 over a period of 10 seconds and is within the 6 hours:

load testing

Script located at: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tmm1/graphite/master/misc/carbon-load-test.py

We need to profile how much metrics we will process on average and see how we can handle these metrics. So for example for 20k metrics per second we need to send 20000*60 = 1200000 (1.2 Million per minute)

With 2 nodes up:

root@i-1d7f86a4:~# python carbon-load-test.py  localhost 2003 1200000
sent 1200000 metrics in 59.615 seconds
sent 1200000 metrics in 73.530 seconds
sent 1200000 metrics in 73.178 seconds
sent 1200000 metrics in 73.313 seconds
sent 1200000 metrics in 73.548 seconds

Killing 1 node appears to improve performance ..

root@i-1d7f86a4:~# python carbon-load-test.py  localhost 2003 1200000
sent 1200000 metrics in 58.975 seconds
sent 1200000 metrics in 59.715 seconds
sent 1200000 metrics in 60.237 seconds
sent 1200000 metrics in 58.663 seconds

Attempting to send 2 million metrics in 60 seconds seems to hit the limits in dev

root@i-1d7f86a4:~# python carbon-load-test.py  localhost 2003 2000000
sent 2000000 metrics in 95.151 seconds
sent 2000000 metrics in 100.442 seconds

So with one node the average seems to be about 1.2 mil metrics per minute on a micro instance while producing the load from the micro instance.

put-incr-graphite-data.sh

# generates metrics into graphite starting from 0 
#
# The choice of port dictates where the data goes. 
# See also Graphite-scrapbook.md (carbon.conf) 
# In this case port 2003 is relay:a which drives 
# the data into both nodes. 

xx=0;
statdata="bash.a-consistency.stat1";
dates=$(date +%s);
dur=3600;
echo from $[ $dates - $dur ] until $dates
# put incremental data .. eg 0,1,2,3,4...
(for i in `seq $[ $dates - $dur ] 10 $dates `; do echo $statdata $xx $i ; xx=$[ $xx + 1 ];  done ;sleep 5) | nc localhost 2003

# to put static data .. eg 1,1,1,1,1 ...  replace above with
#(for i in `seq $[ $dates - $dur ] 10 $dates `; do echo $statdata 1 $i ;  done ;sleep 1) | nc localhost 2103

# to put 0->9,0->9 recurring replace above with
#(for i in `seq $[ $dates - $dur ] 10 $dates `; do echo $statdata $xx $i ; xx=$[ $xx + 1 ]; if [ $xx -gt 9 ]; then xx=1 ; fi; done ;sleep 1) | nc localhost 2003

Some off-by-one errors have been corrected in the python script though not all outputs have been changed to reflect that.
