sky-chaostoolkit-toxiproxy-2 0.1.6

Chaos Toolkit toxiproxy support by SKY

Chaos Toolkit tokiproxy driver

This module provides actions to configure toxiproxy proxies and toxies.

WARNING: This module exposes actions that have rather strong impacts on your cluster. While Chaos Engineering is all about disrupting and weaknesses, it is important to take the time to fully appreciate what those actions do and how they do it.

Install

To be used from your experiment, this package must be installed in the Python environment where chaostoolkit already lives.

$ pip install sky-chaostoolkit-toxiproxy

Usage

Configuration

In your experiment configuration section you can set the toxiproxy server address if different from localhost:

  "configuration":{
    "toxiproxy_host": "<defaults to localhost...>",
    "toxiproxy_port": 1234  
  }

If more than one toxiproxy server needs to be addressed, you can set the list using the "toxiproxy" configuration key:

  "configuration":{
      "toxiproxy": [
        {
          "host": "<defaults to localhost>",
          "port": "<defaults to 8474>"
        },
      ]

Exported actions

Adding a toxic

  add_toxic(
    server: Dict = {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 8474}, 
    random_server: bool = False, 
    proxy_name: str = None, 
    toxic_name: str = None, 
    type: str = None, 
    stream: str = 'downstream', 
    toxicity: float = 1.0, 
    attributes: str = None 
  )

Add a toxic to a proxy

The server can be specifically passed as parameter. Alternatively, if the "toxiproxy" configuration section is present, a random server is picked setting the "random_server" parameter to True.

The name of the proxy to add the toxic to can be specified, otherwise a random proxy for the server is picked up

Creating a new proxy

  create_proxy(
    proxy_name, 
    upstream, 
    listen, 
    enabled: bool = True, 
    server: Dict = {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 8474}

Deleting all proxies attached to a server

  delete_all_proxies(
    server: Dict = {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 8474}
  )

Deleting all toxic attached to a proxy

  delete_all_toxics(
    server: Dict = {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 8474}, 
    proxy_name: str = None
  )

Deleting a proxy

  delete_proxy(
    proxy_name: str, 
    server: Dict = {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 8474}
  )

Deleting a toxic

  delete_toxic(
    server: Dict = {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 8474}, 
    proxy_name: str = None, 
    stream: str = 'downstream', 
    type: str = None
  )

Disabling a proxy

  disable_proxy(
    server: Dict = {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 8474}, 
    proxy_name: str = None
  )

Enabling a proxy

  enable_proxy(
    server: Dict = {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 8474}, 
    proxy_name: str = None
  )

Populating a server

  populate(
    proxies, 
    server: Dict = {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 8474}
  )

Resetting all servers

  reset_all()

Enable all proxies and remove all active toxics for all servers

Resetting a server

  reset_server(
    server: Dict = {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 8474}
  )

Enable all proxies and remove all active toxics

Discovery

You may use the Chaos Toolkit to discover the capabilities of this extension:

$ chaos discover sky-chaostoolkit-toxiproxy  --no-install

Configuration

The module expects a toxiproxy-server running and listening on the default port 8474, there is currently no way to configure another server address.
