Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at our bug tracker, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to Test?

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Thermostat

Yay, Thermostat 0.9.0 is out!
As Thermostat 0.9.0 has been released recently, today's test day can provide a nice way for you to get familiar with the new version, its looks and all the important functionality - especially if you are new to them.

Who's Available

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

  • You will either need a physical machine or a virtual machine running a pre-release of Fedora 19
  • Make sure that your system is up-to-date. You can update your system using the update manager.
  • If you have a F19 installation, you should have the following packages installed:
thermostat-0.8.0-0.1.20130521hg97e66ed2e4ae.fc19
thermostat-webapp-0.8.0-0.1.20130521hg97e66ed2e4ae.fc19

You can download this build for your architecture from Koji and use sudo yum localinstall thermostat-0.8.0-0.1.20130521hg97e66ed2e4ae.fc19*.rpm thermostat-webapp-0.8.0-0.1.20130521hg97e66ed2e4ae.fc19*.rpm in order to install it.

Perform Testing

Please perform as many of the test cases listed as you have the time and the resources to complete, and fill out your results in the table below. You do not need a Fedora account to fill in the table. It is recommended to perform the tests in order, since some tests build on things explained in previous tests.

Preliminary Information

Note that thermostat consists of four (4) services. Each of which can be run on a different host. The first service is Thermostat storage (a.k.a. the database). The second one is the Thermostat webservice. This one has been introduced for security reasons. If you do not plan to use Thermostat in a distributed environment - or don't care about security - this service can probably be skipped. The third service is the Thermostat agent. It is a service which one needs to run on every host where JVMs should be monitored. The last component in this quartet are various forms of Thermostat clients.

Planned Tests

Unplanned Testing

As well as running the formal test cases, you can help simply by using Thermostat and/or Thermostat's Eclipse integration and report any problems you come across in the course of your typical use, even if they do not match up with any of the test cases. If unsure if something is a bug feel free to ask in #fedora-test-day.

Test Results

If you have problems with any of the tests, try and report a bug. Thermostat bugs should be reported to Thermostat's Bugzilla. You will need an icedtea bugzilla account to report bugs for Thermostat. Creating one is easy, and we will help you do this if you ask in IRC.

If you are not sure of the appropriate component, please check in IRC before filing, there are many possibilities. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you.

Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, use the result template to describe your result, following the examples in the Sample user row.

  1. ↑ thermostat#1450 dump-heap header more info wanted
  2. ↑ Generally in the shell it was not very intuitive which ids to use for which commands. It would be nice to have a list of example usages somewhere + where can i find the ids, such as "If you want to create a heap dump you need an id of a _currently running_ vm, which can be found by list-vms. The typical call in the shell with minimal number of options is Thermostat> dump-heap -a ble123ble-very-long-id -v 4567 where -a is for specifying the host_id and -v for the vm_id."
  3. ↑ One more thing that surprised me in the shell was that if I run the sequence thermostat storage --start, thermostat agent (in another terminal), thermostat shell, then the connect -d ... command tries to connect to a db, whereas if I run some other command in the shell before the connect (e.g. list-vms) then this command autoconnects and subsequent call to connect tells me the connection already exists. (Maybe the side effects of commands could be noted somewhere.)
  4. ↑ on the live image i encountered a build failure: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project thermostat-plug-in-storage-common: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.redhat.thermostat.tutorial.kernel.cmdline:thermostat-plug-in-storage-common:bundle:0.0.2-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies for [org.osgi:org.osgi.core:jar:4.2.0 (provided), org.osgi:org.osgi.compendium:jar:4.2.0 (provided), com.redhat.thermostat:thermostat-storage-core:jar:0.8.0-SNAPSHOT (compile), com.redhat.thermostat:thermostat-common-core:jar:0.8.0-SNAPSHOT (compile)]: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.fusesource.jansi:jansi:jar:1.9: The repository system is offline but the artifact org.fusesource:fusesource-pom:pom:1.8 is not available in the local repository. -> [Help 1]
