The Netort library

This is a library of common components for performance testing tools (YandexTank, Volta, etc.).

Data Manager

Data Manager collects your data and stores them to the backends of your choice.

Key concepts

Core concept is a test. Test is a collection of data streams described with metadata (i.e. test name, author, tool, etc.). Each data stream is also described with its own metadata (i.e., type: monitoring, host: my-backend-server, resource: cpu, etc.).

Data stream is a sequence of values indexed with a timestamp in microseconds. There are two types of data streams currently supported: * metrics — a stream of floating point numbers * events — a stream of strings

Metrics are used to describe a variable that changes in time (voltage measurements of a phone battery, cpu load, response time, etc.). Events are used to describe a sequence of events (server response codes, log messages).

Both metrics and events could be aggregated by seconds. Different sets of statistics are calculated for them: * quantiles, average, standard deviation and distribution for metrics * histogram for events

Test is created during a Data Session. One data session — one test.

Typical workflow

Specify the backends you want to save your data to
Create a data session, describing it with metadata
Subscribe the backends to the data session
Create metrics and events in the data session, describing them with metadata
Add data to the metrics and events (this might be done in realtime chunk by chunk)
Close the data session
