Test Environment
This document shows how to create a test environment with simulated data loading. Contains configuration files and small scripts to generate an environment with simulated data for testing purposes.

Purpose of this toolkit
This directory contains configuration files and small scripts to generate an environment with simulated data for testing purposes. 

  

Quik start
To add monitoring data, inventory, groups and users to a pandorafms environment automatically Just execute: 

 /usr/share/pandora_server/util/load/install_load_data.sh 

 This command will creates: 

 

 30 Agents with inventory linux 

 30 Agents whith inventory Windows 

 150 Agents 

 44 Groups 

 34 Users 

 

 Will randonly add users to groups and move agents to groups. Creates a cronjob to generate agent data each 5 min and inventory data once a day. 

 note: make sure you have a licence with at least 150 agents or modify the  /usr/share/pandora_server/util/load/pandora_xml_stress.agents to use max your licence limit agent amount before execute

Toolset description
Here we describe the specific use for all the toolset the install_load_data.sh used automatically, to be used individualy if its needed

Generation of inventory agents
The script will use th file pandora_xml_stress.agents take by default the first 30 listed agents and add linux inventory and the last 30 listed agents and add windows inventory. This will generate xml data using the templates on templates folder. 

 to run it, execute 

 cd pandorafms/pandora_server/util/load 

./generate_inventory_data.sh 

  

Generation of XML files to simulate agent load
There is a tool that comes configured with Pandora FMS to generate test data (pandora_xml_stress) and that generates XML. It has different options and in this directory is provided a configuration file and all the dictionaries and additional files to generate data of 150 agents, with pseudo-random names (like for example "7fb8a1a734c24cc22a5c75eb"). 

 These agents are defined in the "pandora_xml_stress.agents" file. If you want less agents, you can delete elements in this file. 

 To execute the XML generation manually from the code repository: 

 cd pandorafms/pandora_server/util/load

 perl ../pandora_xml_stress.pl pandora_xml_stress.conf 

 This will generate 150 XML in the /var/spool/pandora/data_in directory. 

 If you create a scheduled execution of this command every 5 minutes (e.g. through cron), keep in mind that if the PandoraFMS server stops, it could have hundreds of thousands of XML files pending to be processed. 

 Create /etc/cron.d/pandora_stress with this content: 

 */5 * * * * root <putyourscripthere>

Generation of groups and users
The script 'create_usersandgroups.sh' will take a list of names from the file 'usernames.txt' and through CLI will create those users in the local Pandora FMS. 

 On the other hand, it will also create a series of groups, taking as source the names of the file 'groupnames.txt'. It will associate to each user a group of the existing ones with the profile "Operator (Read"). 

 Finally, it will take all the agents available in Pandora FMS and it will distribute them in an equal and random way among the available groups. 

 You should only run it once: 

 cd pandorafms/pandora_server/util/load

 ./create_userandgroups.sh
