sysperf

System performance tool for NetBackup infrastructure.

General description

This is a merging of the flexperf tool (used for Flex appliance consolidation analysis) and sar-perf (general system performance tool) into a common code base.

Containers and images

Container solution that involves several images and 3 running containers. The containers utilize a private network that hides the sysperf container from the outside world.

• Images used
  • sysperf-base: based upon the Alpine 3.16.0 Linux variant with the following additional packages and Python modules added:
    • Linux packages
      • python3
      • py3-pip
    • Python modules
      • openpyxl
      • flask
      • requests
  • sysperf: core for the API engine
  • flexperf: web interface for FCP that will make API calls to sysperf to process the data but this container will generate the consolidation Excel workbook.
  • sar-perf: web interface for sar-perf that will make API calls to sysperf to process the data but this container will actually generate the Excel workbook.

  • sysperf
  • flexperf
  • sar-perf

Starting and stopping sysperf containers

TBD: build a script that builds the private network along with staring all the containers. Will also need a script to stop all containers and delete the private network. In the meantime, here's the command to build the private network:

podman network create sysperf-net

Be sure to include --net sysperf-net to the container run command.
