Background

Data gathering can be cumbersome sometimes. This module tries to solve and simplify it. To make data gathering to influx-db a bit easier.

It tries to do so via WEB interface and for more advanced use cases - API.

Currently there are four main parts that user/operator can control:

Measurements - Measurement to be processed from incoming Orion Context Broker subscription data and uploaded into influx-db. User defines entities and their types for the Orion Context Broker subscription. Also fields and tags to gather from the Orion Context Broker entity.
Buckets - Used to define buckets of the influx-db. Allows to assign different measurements.
Organizations - Used to define organizations of the influx-db. Allows to assign different buckets.
Subscriptions - Used to control selected measurement subscription. CRUD (Create, read, update and delete) principle. Main use case - automatically form the required subscription for the selected measurement and post it to Orion Context Broker.

It is based on Orion Context Broker entities and subscriptions, and is NGSIv2 compliant to process the incoming data into Line Protocol for influx-db.

Testing

For now, API tests are available.

They are done using python module "pytest" and for coverage "coverage".

To install the modules, you need Python 3. Python3.7+ recommended. You can get python here. Also, python packet manager pip is required.

Installing dependencies

Installing pytest and coverage:

pip3 install pytest
pip3 install coverage

Running tests

⚠️ To run tests, ROSE-AP dependencies has to be running. For now, they are not being mocked/simulated. To make it work, run projects docker-compose.

⚠️ To run tests, change FlexHex-Rose-AP/API/app/.env file IP addresses to your machine IP address.

Running pytest

Navigate to app directory inside terminal or open terminal in the directory:

cd FlexHex-Rose-AP/API/app

Run pytest:

pytest

It will gather all tests available and it will run them. All of the tests are currently inside FlexHex-Rose-AP/API/app/test_main.py module.

After few moments, there should be logs appearing with the status of tests and finally the result will be displayed if everything was successful or not and why.

Running coverage

Navigate to app directory inside terminal or open terminal in the directory:

cd FlexHex-Rose-AP/API/app

Run coverage:

coverage run -m pytest

Coverage will run pytest and it will collect metrics in the background.

Get coverage report:

⚠️ Run this only after the "Run coverage" step.

coverage report

It will display a table representing statements in files and how many of those statements are not covered by tests and the coverage of tests in percentage.
