What is Pbench
-
A benchmark & performance analysis framework
-
Components
-
a collection agent
-
a server
-
a web UI dashboard
-
-
It is a work-in-progress project
History of Pbench
-
Red Hat products are mostly on distributed systems these days
-
Our team members were running the same or similar benchmarks with their own wrappers for gathering data
-
We found it difficult to compare data sets, or found incomplete data depending on who ran what
-
We worked to come up with a framework that captured the best practices across the team
-
Created an agent, server, and dashboard
-
242,000+ pbench result tar balls collected since 2015, roughly 12.2+ TB of data
Why Pbench?
Inconsistency in data collected, and/or incomplete data collected, surrounding a benchmark.
Goals:
-
Make it easier to collect the required configuration and tool data
-
Help ensure consistency of data is collected
-
Provide a central location to archive, visualize, and analyze collected data
-
Reuse visualizations of data to provide a more consistent view
Facilitate easier comparisons between runs
