This extension allows you to run Pixie script during your experiments.
This package requires Python 3.8+ as Pixie's dependency requires it.
To be used from your experiment, this package must be installed in the Python environment where chaostoolkit already lives.
$ pip install chaostoolkit-pixie
This extension provides two probes to run Pixie scripts, either directly embedded into the experiment or in a file local to the experiment.
For instance, a complete script:
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"title": "Consumer service remains fast under higher traffic load",
"description": "Showcase for how we remain responsive under a certain load. This should help us figure how many replicas we should run",
"secrets": {

"type": "env",
"key": "PIXIE_API_KEY"

}
},

}This assumes you have a a service named consumer. Pixie monitors its
latency and produces percentiles for it. We then use a probe tolerance to
evaluate the returned latency for the past 2 minutes and we measure if the
latency was mainly (99-percentile) under 300ms.
In this example, we use ddosify to induce the load, but you can use your favourite tooling of course.
The Pixie script we run is as follows:
import px
ns_per_ms = 1000 * 1000
ns_per_s = 1000 * ns_per_ms
window_ns = px.DurationNanos(10 * ns_per_s)

filter_health_checks = True
filter_ready_checks = True
def inbound_let_timeseries(start_time: str, service: px.Service):
''' Compute the let as a timeseries for requests received by `service`.
Args:
@start_time: The timestamp of data to start at.
@service: The name of the service to filter on.
'''
df = let_helper(start_time)
df = df[px.has_service_name(df.service, service)]
df = df.groupby(['timestamp']).agg(
latency_quantiles=('latency', px.quantiles),
error_rate_per_window=('failure', px.mean),
throughput_total=('latency', px.count),
bytes_total=('resp_body_size', px.sum)
)
# Format the result of LET aggregates into proper scalar formats and
# time series.
df.latency_p50 = px.DurationNanos(px.floor(px.pluck_float64(df.latency_quantiles, 'p50')))

# Don't include traffic initiated by this service to an external location.
df = df[df.trace_role == 2]

px.display(df)This is an abridged script from Pixie itself.
That's it!
To run the tests for the project execute the following:
$ pytest
We use a combination of black, flake8, and isort
to both lint and format this repositories code.
Before raising a Pull Request, we recommend you run formatting against your code with:
$ make formatThis will automatically format any code that doesn't adhere to the formatting standards.
As some things are not picked up by the formatting, we also recommend you run:
$ make lintTo ensure that any unused import statements/strings that are too long, etc. are also picked up.
If you wish to contribute more functions to this package, you are more than welcome to do so. Please, fork this project, make your changes following the usual PEP 8 code style, sprinkling with tests and submit a PR for review.
