* (POOLER-123) Implement a max TTL
Before this change, we could checkout a vm and set the lifetime to a
very high number which would esssentially keep the vm running forever.
Now implementing a config setting max_lifetime_upper_limit which enforces
a maximum lifetime in hours both for initial checkout and extending a
running vm
* (POOLER-123) Improve PUT vm endpoint error messaging
Prior to this commit the PUT vm endpoint didn't give any useful
information about why a user's request failed.
This commit updates PUT to output a more helpful set of error messages
in the `failure` key that gets returned in the JSON response.
* (POOLER-123) Update max_lifetime_upper_limit key
This commit switches the max_lifetime_upper_limit key from being a
symbol to being a string, which is what the config hash seems to contain.
* (maint) Add option to disable Redis persistence in docker-compose
This commit is just a handy little command override to the redis
container to prevent persistence.
This change adds the running host for a VM to the API data available via /vm/hostname. Without this change the running host would be logged to vmpooler log, but not available any other way. Additionally, the data will specify if a machine has been migrated. Without this change parent host data for a vmpooler machine is not available via the vmpooler API.
This change updates handling of pool aliases to allow for more than a
single pool to be configured as an alias pool. Without this change if
multiple pools are configured as an alias the last one to configure it
is set as the alias for that pool.
Additionally, redis testing requirements are removed in favor of
mock_redis. Without this change a redis server is required to run
vmpooler tests.
This commit updates vmpooler to ship VM usage stats when a VM is destroyed. The stats are gathered for jobs based on user and pool name. If a jenkins build URL is present then this is broken down by user, instance, value stream, branch and project. Additionally, if present then the RMM_COMPONENT_TO_TEST_NAME will be listed after project. Without this change we do not collect stats on per VM usage and its correlation to users and pools.
Previously the Pool Manager would use vSphere objects directly. This commit
- Modifies the pool_manager to use the VM provider methods instead
- Removes the MockFindFolder class as it is no longer required
- Minor update for rubocop violations
This commit adds the following test helpers:
- MockFindFolder
Returns an mock result object from calling `Vmpooler::VsphereHelper.find_folder(foldername)`
- Use MockRedis instead of using method stubs
- MockLogger
Creates an object which looks like the VMPooler::Logger object but just
ignores all messages. This stops the proliferation of allow(logger).to ....
expectations in tests
- create_completed_vm
Creates the required redis information for a completed VM
- create_discovered_vm
Creates the required redis information for a newly discovered VM
- snapshot_revert_vm
Creates the required redis information to revert a snapshot for a VM
- disk_task_vm
Creates the required redis information to add a disk addition task to a VM
Use mock_redis instead of redis.
Make passing of mock redis to helper calls more clear
Update pool_manager_spec to specify vsphere argument where applicable. Update pool_helper calls to vsphere where needed for tests to pass. Without this change rspec tests for pool_manager_spec exhibit 12 failures.
Update pool_manager_spec test with open_socket
Pool_manager_spec stubs a tcpsocket connection to simulate this happening directly within _check_pending_vm. This commit updates this to look more like its usage with open_socket, which allows the test to pass.
Prior to this the only per-pool statistics that could be extracted from the API
were a list of empty pools in the "status" section of the returned results of
the `/status` endpoint.
This adds a new "pools" section to the '/status' results which lists, for each
pool, the following results:
- The number of ready vms in the pool
- The number of running vms in the pool
- The number of pending vms in the pool
- The maximum size of the pool (as specified in the vmpooler configuration)
Example:
```
{
"boot": {
"duration": {
"average": 163.6,
"min": 65.49,
"max": 830.07,
"total": 247744.71000000002
},
"count": {
"total": 1514
}
# ...
"pools": {
"pool1": {
"ready": 5,
"running": 2,
"pending": 1,
"max": 15
},
"pool2": {
"ready": 0,
"running": 10,
"pending": 0,
"max: 10
}
}
}
```
This includes spec coverage for this change (we could use more specs on `/status` in general); as well as a couple of general spec improvements.

* (RE-7014) Add support for statsd
They way we were using graphite was incorrect for the type of data we were sending it. statsd is the appropriate mechanism for our needs.
statsd and graphite are mutually exclusive and configuring statsd will take precendence over Graphite. Example of configuration in vmpooler.yaml.example
* (RE-7014) Add tracking of vm gets via statsd
Add the tracking of successful, failed, invalid, and empty pool vm gets. It is possible we may want to tweak this, but have validated with spec tests and pcaps.

* (QENG-4070) Consistently return 503 if valid pool is empty
There were several problems with how the pooler checked out vms with
respect to empty pools, invalid pools, and aliases:
- If the vmpooler config did not contain any aliases and the caller
requested a vm from an empty pool or a non-existent one, the vmpooler
would error with:
NoMethodError - undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
If the config contained a non-nil alias section, then:
- If the caller requested a vm from an empty pool and either the vm
didn't have an alias or the aliased pool was empty or non-existent, then
the request for that vm would be silently ignored. The vmpooler would
return 200 if the caller asked for multiple vms and the vmpooler was
able to checkout at least one vm. Otherwise it would return 404.
- Similarly, if the caller requested a vm from a non-existent pool, then
the request was silently ignored.
This commit adds a `pool_names` Set to the config containing all valid
pool names including aliases. This is used to determine whether a
requested template name is valid or not. This is necessary because redis
does not distinguish between empty and non-existent sets, e.g. the
following returns false in both cases:
backend.exists('vmpooler__ready__' + key)
If the caller requests a vm (single or multiple), and any vm references
an invalid pool name, we immediately return 404. Otherwise, we know the
request is for valid pool names, since the vmpooler requires a restart
to change pool names and counts.
We then attempt to acquire each vm, trying to match on pool name or
failing back to aliased pool name, as was the previous behavior.
The resulting behavior is:
- If the caller asks for at least one vm from an unknown pool, then
don't try to checkout any vms and respond with 404.
- If the caller asks for a vm, and at least one pool is empty, then
respond with 503, returning checked out vms back to the pool.
- Otherwise return 200 with the list of checked out vms.
This commit also makes `alias` optional again.
This commit also re-enables tests that were merged in from master, but
originally commented out due to the bugs described above..
* (maint) Add json pessimistic pin
json 2.0.x was released on July 1 and is not compatible with ruby < 2.0.
Since we still support that version, add a pessimistic pin, which is
what we were using prior to July 1.
* [QENG-4070] Make json version conditional on RUBY_VERSION
* Drop extraneous mocks from updated test
* Revert "Revert "Merge pull request #155 from shermdog/RE-7014-cinext""
This reverts commit 0fd6fff934.
* Fix some spec errors
These were caused in part by dropping changes from the original PR when we
dropped the v1_spec.rb master test file (in favor of the updated and separated
versions).
* [QENG-4075] Fix bug with template name on allocation failure
We're returning [nil,nil] in this case, meaning that name will not be set. This
means we'll get an error trying to concatenate the stats string. Use the
requested template name here instead.
* [QENG-4075] Refactor statsd methods / classes
Prior to this we could easily run into situations where `statds_prefix` would
be `nil` (and possibly the `statsd` handle itself). There was some significant
complexity and brittleness in how statsd was set up.
Refactored so that:
- `statsd_prefix` is no longer exposed to any callers of statsd methods
- there is now a `Vmpooler::DummyStatsd` class which can be returned when we are not actually going to publish stats, but would like to keep the calling interface consistent
- setup of the statsd handle is via just passing in `config[:statsd]`, if `nil`, this will result in a dummy handle being return
- defaulting of `server` values was fixed -- this did not actually work in the previous implementation. `config[:statsd][:server]` is now required.
- tests use a `DummyStatsd` instance instead of an rspec double.
- calls to `statsd.increment` were taking incorrect arguments (some our fault, some part of the prior implementation), and were not collecting data on which pools were "invalid" or "empty". Fixed this and are now explicitly tracking the invalid/empty pool names.
* [QENG-4075] Drop now-superfluous :statsd config defaulting
* [QENG-4075] Unify graphite and statsd for the pool manager
Prior to this, the `pool_manager.rb` library could take handles for both
graphite and statsd endpoints (which were considered mutually exclusive),
and then would use one. There was a bevy of conditional logic around sending
metrics to the graphite/statsd handles (and actually at least one bug of
omission).
Here we refactor more, building on earlier work:
- Our graphite class comes into line with the API of our Statsd and DummyStatsd classes
- In `pool_manager.rb` we now accept a single "metrics" handle, and we drop all the conditional logic around statsd vs. graphite
- We move the inconsistent error handling out of the calling classes and into our metrics classes, actually logging to `$stderr` when we can't publish metrics
- We unify the setup code to use `config` to determine whether statsd, graphite, or a dummy metrics handle should be used, and make that happen.
- Cleaned up some tests. We could probably stand to do a bit more work in this area.
* [QENG-4075] Clean up pool manager, specs
Prior to this, `pool_manager.rb` allowed the `metrics` argument to be optional,
but at this point it will be an instance of `Vmpooler::Statsd`,
'Vmpooler::Graphite', or `Vmpooler::DummyStatsd`, so making this non-optional.
Cleaned up that file's tests, cosmetically, as well as recognizing that the
behavioral difference between graphite and statsd does not depend on the pool
manager.
* [QENG-4075] update example vmpooler.yaml file
This documents the changes to :server being mandatory for all metrics
endpoints, as well as the graphite endpoint supporting an optional :port
configuration value.
* [QENG-4075] Rename usages of statsd -> metrics
Really, let's just support a generic metrics interface.
* (maint) move statsd-ruby require into Vmpooler::Statsd class
We've managed to move mentions of this out of the calling code, so let's
move the require.
* (maint) metrics.log -> metrics.timing
We missed this during the refactoring. Bringing this up to date.
* [QENG-4075] Allow specifying 'graphs:' for dashboard
Prior to this the dashboard front-end would use the configuration settings
for `graphite[:server]`/`graphite[:prefix]` to locate a graphite server
to use for rendering graphs.
Now that we have multiple possible metrics backends, the front-end graph
host for the dashboard could be entirely different from the back-end metrics
server that we publish to (if any).
This decouples those settings:
- use `graphs[:server]` / `graphs[:prefix]` for the graphite-compatible web front-end to use for dashboard display graphs
- fall back to `graphite[:server]`/`graphite[:prefix]` if `graphs` is not specified, in order to support legacy `vmpooler.yaml` configurations.
Note that since `statsd` takes precedence over `graphite`, it's possible to specify both `statsd` (for publishing) and `graphite` (for reading). We still prefer `graphs` over `graphite`.
Updated the example `vmpooler.yaml` config file.
* (maint) fix variable reference in new_metrics
This was referencing config directly, when what we want is for a
hash to be passed in (derived from config).
* (maint) Fix typo in updated graph link call
* (maint) default :graphs prefix to 'vmpooler'
* (maint) Fix parse error in vmpooler script
The things you find through manual QA 🧌
* (maint) use strings instead of symbols in config
Nested hash data comes back with string keys, not symbols. Be consistent.
* [QENG-4075] Factor out Vmpooler::DummyStatsd
This makes it visible to lib/vmpooler.rb, as well as putting this dummy
metrics endpoint in its own file for easier discovery.
* (maint) clean up statsd inclusion and require lines
The library is actually required as 'statsd' and not 'ruby-statsd', best I can tell.
* (maint) construct ::Statsd instead of Statsd
Because it's ambiguous in this scope, and, well, it doesn't
actually work in production.
* [QENG-4075] Also track completely invalid requests
When we don't even get a pool name we still want metrics to be recorded.
* Add redis to our travis runs
* De-mockistify v1/token specs; use real redis.
Open questions:
- Do we need to do better cleanup here?
- Should we be using a separate database to prevent clobbering other local db's?
* Remove mockist tests from main suite.
* (MAINT) gitignore some common files
* (maint) Clean up some of the /vm/ tests
* (maint) Convert specs for /vm/template
* (maint) Clean up, reorganize specs
* (maint) Move extracted spec helper methods to spec_helper
* (maint) rename create_vm -> create_ready_vm
* (WIP) add partially-converted /vm/hostname specs
* (maint) clean up vm_spec
* (WIP) notes for next steps
* (maint) Define :config in token tests
Miscellaneous whitespace cleanup.
* (maint) Lift #redis definition into spec helper library
* (maint) drop unneeded clear_pool helper
Given the way we're flushing redis (which seems super performant), we don't
need to clear pools any more at the beginning of tests.
* (maint) Drop clear_pool from vm/template specs
* (maint) Update vm/hostname tag and lifetime specs
* (maint) Convert vm deletion specs
* (maint) Convert specs for vm snapshot operations
* (maint) Drop now-obsolete v1_spec.rb
* (maint) cosmetic cleanup in spec helper
* (maint) begin de-mockistifying api_spec.rb
* (maint) repair incorrect test
The mockist version of the test allows redis' scard to return nil, which
it does not actually do in real life. Verified the behavior in the code
via a debugger. Fixed the test.
* (maint) finish converting dashboard specs
* (maint) rename api_spec to dashboard_spec
* (maint) Don't clobber default redis database when running specs
