Change Details

We have some tests on rOPS in the folder tests/prod-environment-behaves-correctly to check if all looks good. The main idea of these tests is to run a test suite after a deployment to check nothing has been forgotten. It's useful after a full restart of Docker containers. Currently, there is no reporting system like Icinga. Icinga 2 has introduced a "monitoring as code", which could be as helpful as Jenkinsfile pipeline as code (ie yes, really helpful), but meanwhile implementation, we can leverage Jenkins and this test suite to get a tests-based monitoring system. Drawback if we only have a result "prod ok" "prod not ok" but this is better than no notification at all until manual triggering. **Roadmap** # D575/ccd4fed8 Create a [[ https://ci.nasqueron.org/job/test-prod-env/ | Jenkins job ]] to run tests # T946 Split rOPS and a new rTESTSPRODENV repository # Allow to run the currently three skipped tests: # ~~Create a dedicated container with privileged permissions (a right on the Docker engine) only to run these tests~~ # T960 Refactor Ysul Apache SuEXEC test so we can check a 200 code instead of manually checking version # deploy some test.cgi script with an output of 200 ALIVE # {icon exclamation-triangle color=red} deploy some test.php script in chmod 644 (no execution bit), so we see if PHP patch has been included in the build ; that's the most frequent issue to catch # set up a qa user account, so we can detect if a build skips `-D AP_USERDIR_SUFFIX="public_html"` # Run the updated DPHAB image when T947 is resolved to get container monitoring inside Phabricator # ~~Drop privileged container and~~ use a php standard node # Report tests result on #nasqueron-ops # Allow to filter, so any first failure and first succesful build after a failure (recovery) are reported # Add support for Jenkins to the notifications center or directly to the RabbitMQ queue # Ask Jenkins to notify us with results: - Through the notifications center? Could use [[https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Notification+Plugin | Notifications plugin]] allows webhooks, - Directly to the broker? Could use the [[https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/RabbitMQ+Build+Trigger+Plugin | RabbitMQ build trigger plugin]] which has a feature to publish build results too, but that would be a standard format, not our notifications one. # Consume such notifications # Consider to automate Cachet service status update or warn about incoherence between Cachet data and test data (Cachet = http://status.nasqueron.org) **Notes** The step "get notifications from Jenkins" seems a work a little heavier than "leverage existing", but already planned: we need to advertise when tests on master branch fail. During full Docker engine restart scenario, the notifications while work when ci, notifications, white-rabbit containers aren't available. This is a good argument to separate CI-CD from the rest of infrastructure (but we don't have currently infinite servers).
