Perfana demo

Demo environment

The Perfana demo environment can be used to try out all the features. It uses Docker compose and has a all components to emulate a live-like environment for Perfana, including an application to run a performance test.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker compose
• A minimum 8Gb of RAM allocated to docker daemon, preferably more

Getting started

• Clone perfana-demo repository

  git clone https://github.com/perfana/perfana-demo.git

  or download here

  If you use the download option, make sure to extract the zip to a directory named perfana-demo!

• Inside the repository root run

  ./start.sh

This spins up a number of containers

Container	Description	exposed to local port
perfana-fe	Perfana front end	4000
perfana-grafana	Perfana - Grafana integration service	n/a
perfana-snapshot	Perfana snapshot service	n/a
perfana-check	Perfana results check service	n/a
perfana-scheduler	Perfana schduled jobs	n/a
perfana-ds-api	Perfana data science api	8080
perfana-ds-worker	Perfana data science api	n/a
perfana-ds-metric-worker	Perfana data science api	n/a
mongodb	MongoDb replicaset to store Perfana configuration	27011 / 27012 /27013
grafana	Grafana graphing dashboard	3000
influxdb	InfluxDb metrics datastore	8086 / 2003
telegraf	Telegraf metrics agent	n/a
prometheus	Prometheus metrics datastore	9090
alertmanager	Alertmanager handles alerts from Prometheus	9093
afterburner-fe	Springboot test application	8090
afterburner-be	Springboot test application	n/a
mariadb	Database used by test application	n/a
jaeger	Distributed tracing	16686
tempo	Distributed traces backend	3100
loki	Loki for parsing logs	n/a
Pyrocope	Continuous profiling	4040
wiremock	Mocking tool	8060

To stop all containers, run

./stop.sh

To remove all containers, use

./clean.sh

---

When you use the clean.sh script, all of the data inside the containers will be lost!

---

Automatically detect regressions

The start.sh script will run 3 baseline test runs for the afterburner system under test while in baseline mode

To deploy a version of the test application with a performance issue, run

./deploy-and-test.sh cpu

or

./deploy-and-test.sh pool

Exploring the demo environment

Perfana

To log into Perfana, open http://localhost:4000 and use admin@perfana.io as user with password perfana. If you want to log in as a non-admin user, you can try users daniel@perfana.io or dylan@perfana.io, both with password perfana

To view Tempo traces and Pyroscope profiles for your test runs, set Tracing service name and Pyroscope appliication name to afterburner-fe in the Global settings in the System under test setting, found in the sidebar.
