Tests covering analog sensors data provided by ipmi plugin
Test Environment details:
- Bare Metal, Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
- Kernel version: 4.4.0-43-generic
Repo/branch used:
- dpdk_xstats_collectd/feat_ipmi_analog
Tests precondition:
Install ipmitool:
- modprobe ipmi_msghandler
- modprobe ipmi_si
- modprobe ipmi_ssif
- modprobe ipmi_devintf
- echo ipmi_si /etc/modprobe
- echo ipmi_devintf /etc/modprobe
- apt-get install ipmitool
ipmi configuration:
- Open collectd config file: vim /install_folder/etc/collectd.conf
- Uncomment LoadPlugin "ipmi" and Plugin ipmi tags.
Pre-installed software:
- openipmi and dependencies
- ipmi_msghandler.so
- ipmi_ssif.so
- ipmi_si.so
- ipmi_devintf.so
- binaries of collectd (feat_ipmi_analog branch) built with ipmi read and write plugin
Test cases covering operation of IPMI collectd plugin in relation to analog sensors
# | High level scenario description | Steps to be executed | Expected Result | Test result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Positive scenario ipmi plugin configuration. | 1. Enable ipmi plugin in collectd.conf. | Collectd ipmi plugin operates correctly with applied positive plugin config. Collectd service exits normally on service stop. | Pass |
|
2. Perform change of plugin parameter in correct way. | Collectd ipmi plugin operates correctly after plugin config change. Collectd service exits normally on service stop. |
| |||
2 | Negative scenario ipmi plugin configuration. | 1. Enable mcelog and snmp-agent plugins in collectd.conf. 2. Perform change of plugin parameter in correct way. | Error message is logged against collectd ipmi plugin. Collectd service starts, runs and exits normally, only if no service affecting misconfiguration occured. Else collectd fails to start, with rc=1. | Pass |
|
3 | Verify that plugin run occurs according to set Interval value. | 1. Comment out collectd.conf entries setting global and plugin specific Interval parameter. Run collectd. | Plugin run occurs according to default Interval (10 seconds). | Pass |
|
2. Set up global Interval value to 5 seconds. | Plugin run occurs every 5 seconds, according to new global Interval value. |
| |||
3. Keep global Interval set to 5 seconds, and set ipmi specific Interval parameter to 3 seconds. | Plugin run occurs every 3 seconds, according to plugin specific Interval value. |
| |||
4 | Verify that ipmi plugin run does not occur if it is disabled in conf file. | 1. Comment out"LoadPlugin" entry of ipmi plugin. Keep ipmi config section uncommented. Enable and configure write plugin. Run collectd. | Verify that ipmi plugin does not dispatch any data to write plugin. | Pass |
|
2. Uncomment "LoadPlugin" section of ipmi plugin. Comment out config section. Keep write plugin enabled and configured. Run collectd. | Verify that ipmi plugin does not dispatch any data to write plugin. |
| |||
3. Comment out all configs of ipmi plugin. Keep write plugin enabled and configured. Run collectd. | Verify that ipmi plugin does not dispatch any data to write plugin. |
| |||
4. Uncomment all configs related to ipmi plugin. Run collectd. | Verify that ipmi plugin starts dispatching data. |
| |||
5 | Verify that same amount of data is received from ipmitool and collectd-ipmi plugin. | 1. Run collectd with enabled ipmi and some write plugin. | Collectd plugins initialize as expected. | Pass |
|
2. Wait for two periods of Interval value, to collect dispatched sensors data. | Verify that sensors data is received from ipmi plugin. |
| |||
3. Using ipmitool or similar ones (e.g. ipmi-sensors) get a list of available sensors on the SUT. Compare this data with sensors list provided by collectd-ipmi plugin. | Verify that collectd-ipmi plugin provides a subset of data received by ipmitool. Verify that each sensor entry belongs to proper category. |
| |||
6 | Verify that ipmi plugin reports only analog sensors. | 1. Run collectd with enabled ipmi and some write plugin. | Collectd plugins initialize as expected. | Pass |
|
2. Wait for two periods of Interval value to collect dispatched sensors data. | Verify that sensors data is received from ipmi plugin. |
| |||
3. Using ipmitool or similar ones (e.g. ipmi-sensors) get a list of only analog sensors (filter standard data) on the SUT. | Verify that collectd-ipmi plugin dispatches only analog sensors data. |
