teuthology is an automation framework for Ceph, written in Python. It is used to run the vast majority of its tests
and was developed because the unique requirements of testing such a highly
distributed system with active kernel development meant that no other framework
existed that could do its job.
The name 'teuthology' refers to the study of cephalopods.
The general mode of operation of teuthology is to remotely orchestrate
operations on remote hosts over SSH, as implemented by Paramiko. A typical job consists of multiple nested
tasks, each of which perform operations on a remote host over the network.
When testing, it is common to group many jobs together to form a test run.

For a description of the distinct services that utilities interact with see :ref:`components`.
See :ref:`installation_and_setup`.
The examples in this document are based on the lab machine configuration used by the Red Hat Ceph development and quality assurance teams (see :ref:`lab_setup`). Other instances of a Ceph Lab being used in a development or testing environment may differ from these examples.
An integration test run takes three items of configuration:
targets: what hosts to run on; this is a dictionary mapping hosts to ssh host keys, like: "username@hostname.example.com: ssh-rsa long_hostkey_here" It is possible to configure your installation so that if the targets line and host keys are omitted and teuthology is run with the --lock option, then teuthology will grab machines from a pool of available test machines.roles: how to use the hosts; this is a list of lists, where each entry lists all the roles to be run on a single host. For example, a single entry might say[mon.1, osd.1].tasks: how to set up the cluster and what tests to run on it; see below for examples
The format for this configuration is YAML, a structured data format that is still human-readable and editable.
For example, a full config for a test run that sets up a three-machine
cluster, mounts Ceph via ceph-fuse, and leaves you at an interactive
Python prompt for manual exploration (and enabling you to SSH in to
the nodes & use the live cluster ad hoc), might look like this:
roles:
- [mon.0, mds.0, osd.0]
- [mon.1, osd.1]
- [mon.2, client.0]
targets:
ubuntu@host07.example.com: ssh-rsa host07_ssh_key
ubuntu@host08.example.com: ssh-rsa host08_ssh_key
ubuntu@host09.example.com: ssh-rsa host09_ssh_key
tasks:
- install:
- ceph:
- ceph-fuse: [client.0]
- interactive:
The number of entries under roles and targets must match.
Note the colon after every task name in the tasks section. Also note the
dashes before each task. This is the YAML syntax for an ordered list and
specifies the order in which tasks are executed.
The install task needs to precede all other tasks.
The listed targets need resolvable hostnames. If you do not have a DNS server
running, you can add entries to /etc/hosts. You also need to be able to SSH
in to the listed targets without passphrases, and the remote user needs to have
passwordless sudo access. Note that the ssh keys at the end of the
targets entries are the public ssh keys for the hosts. These are
located in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
If you saved the above file as example.yaml, you could run
teuthology on it like this:
./virtualenv/bin/teuthology example.yaml
You could also pass the -v option for more verbose execution. See
teuthology --help for more options.
You can pass multiple files as arguments to teuthology. Each one
will be read as a config file, and their contents will be merged. This
allows you to share definitions of what a "simple 3 node cluster"
is. The source tree comes with roles/3-simple.yaml, so we could
skip the roles section in the above example.yaml and then
run:
./virtualenv/bin/teuthology roles/3-simple.yaml example.yaml
Teuthology automatically locks nodes for you if you specify the
--lock option. Without this option, you must specify machines to
run on in a targets.yaml file, and lock them using
teuthology-lock.
Note that the default owner of a machine is of the form: USER@HOST where USER is the user who issued the lock command and host is the machine on which the lock command was run.
You can override this with the --owner option when running
teuthology or teuthology-lock.
With teuthology-lock you can also add a description, so you can
remember which tests you were running. This can be done when
locking or unlocking machines, or as a separate action with the
--update option. To lock 3 machines and set a description, run:
./virtualenv/bin/teuthology-lock --lock-many 3 --desc 'test foo'
If machines become unusable for some reason, you can mark them down:
./virtualenv/bin/teuthology-lock --update --status down machine1 machine2
To see the status of all machines, use the --list option. This can
be restricted to particular machines as well:
./virtualenv/bin/teuthology-lock --list machine1 machine2
It is possible to run jobs against machines of one or more machine_type
values. It is also possible to tell teuthology to only select those
machines which match the following criteria specified in the job's YAML:
os_type(e.g. 'rhel', 'ubuntu')os_version(e.g. '7.0', '14.04')arch(e.g. 'x86_64')
A task is a Python module in the teuthology.task package, with a
callable named task. It gets the following arguments:
ctx: a context that is available through the lifetime of the test run, and has useful attributes such ascluster, letting the task access the remote hosts. Tasks can also store their internal state here. (TODO beware of namespace collisions.)config: the data structure after the colon in the config file, e.g. for the aboveceph-fuseexample, it would be a list like["client.0"].
Tasks can be simple functions, called once in the order they are
listed in tasks. But sometimes it makes sense for a task to be
able to clean up after itself: for example, unmounting the filesystem
after a test run. A task callable that returns a Python context
manager
will have the manager added to a stack, and the stack will be unwound
at the end of the run. This means the cleanup actions are run in
reverse order, both on success and failure. A nice way of writing
context managers is the contextlib.contextmanager decorator; look
for that string in the existing tasks to see examples, and note where
they use yield.
Further details on some of the more complex tasks such as install or workunit can be obtained via python help. For example:
>>> import teuthology.task.workunit >>> help(teuthology.task.workunit)
displays a page of more documentation and more concrete examples.
Some of the more important / commonly used tasks include:
ansible: Run the ansible task.install: by default, the install task goes to gitbuilder and installs the results of the latest build. You can, however, add additional parameters to the test configuration to cause it to install any branch, SHA, archive or URL. The following are valid parameters.
branch: specify a branch (firefly, giant...)flavor: specify a flavor (next, unstable...). Flavors can be thought of as subsets of branches. Sometimes (unstable, for example) they may have a predefined meaning.project: specify a project (ceph, samba...)sha1: install the build with this sha1 value.tag: specify a tag/identifying text for this build (v47.2, v48.1...)
ceph: Bring up Cephoverrides: override behavior. Typically, this includes sub-tasks being overridden. Overrides technically is not a task (there is no 'def task' in an overrides.py file), but from a user's standpoint can be described as behaving like one. Sub-tasks can nest further information. For example, overrides of install tasks are project specific, so the following section of a yaml file would cause all ceph installations to default to using the cuttlefish branch:overrides: install: ceph: branch: cuttlefishworkunit: workunits are a way of grouping tasks and behavior on targets.sequential: group the sub-tasks into a unit where the sub-tasks run sequentially as listed.parallel: group the sub-tasks into a unit where the sub-tasks all run in parallel.
Sequential and parallel tasks can be nested. Tasks run sequentially unless specified otherwise.
The above list is a very incomplete description of the tasks available on teuthology. The teuthology/task subdirectory contains the teuthology-specific python files that implement tasks.
Extra tasks used by teuthology can be found in ceph-qa-suite/tasks. These tasks are not needed for teuthology to run, but do test specific independent features. A user who wants to define a test for a new feature can implement new tasks in this directory.
Many of these tasks are used to run shell scripts that are defined in the ceph/ceph-qa-suite.
If machines were locked as part of the run (with the --lock switch),
teuthology normally leaves them locked when there is any task failure
for investigation of the machine state. When developing new teuthology
tasks, sometimes this behavior is not useful. The unlock_on_failure
global option can be set to true to make the unlocking happen unconditionally.
Sometimes when a bug triggers, instead of automatic cleanup, you want to explore the system as is. Adding a top-level:
interactive-on-error: true
as a config file for teuthology will make that possible. With that
option, any task that fails, will have the interactive task
called after it. This means that before any cleanup happens, you get a
chance to inspect the system -- both through Teuthology and via extra
SSH connections -- and the cleanup completes only when you choose so.
Just exit the interactive Python session to continue the cleanup.
The interactive task presents a prompt for you to interact with the
teuthology configuration. The ctx variable is available to explore,
and a pprint.PrettyPrinter().pprint object is added for convenience as
pp, so you can do things like pp(dict-of-interest) to see a formatted
view of the dict.
This is also useful to pause the execution of the test between two tasks,
either to perform ad hoc operations, or to examine the state of the cluster.
Hit control-D to continue when done.
You need to nest interactive underneath tasks in your config. You
can have has many interactive tasks as needed in your task list.
An example:
tasks: - ceph: - interactive:
Teuthology currently places most test files and mount points in a
sandbox directory, defaulting to /home/$USER/cephtest. To change
the location of the sandbox directory, the following option can be
specified in $HOME/.teuthology.yaml:
test_path: <directory>
The teuthology-openstack command is a wrapper around
teuthology-suite that transparently creates the teuthology cluster
using OpenStack virtual machines.
An OpenStack tenant with access to the nova and cinder API. If the cinder API is not available, some jobs won't run because they expect volumes attached to each instance.
- Send a mail to Loic Dachary
- Store the credentials sent to you in $HOME/openrc.sh
- create an account and login the dashboard
- create an Ubuntu 14.04 instance with 1GB RAM and a public IP and destroy it immediately afterwards.
- get $HOME/openrc.sh from the horizon dashboard
The creation/destruction of an instance via the dashboard is the shortest path to create the network, subnet and router that would otherwise need to be created via the neutron API.
Each instance has a public IP by default.
- create an account
- get $HOME/openrc.sh from the horizon dashboard
There is no support for security groups. To workaround that limitation, the setup instructions must be run from an instance that is within the Rackspace OpenStack cluster already so it has permission to communicate with the instances it creates.
- create an account
- make sure your environment contains the requires OS_* variables for
openstack server listto run.
Get and configure teuthology:
$ git clone http://github.com/ceph/teuthology $ cd teuthology ; ./bootstrap install $ source virtualenv/bin/activate
follow the OpenStack API Quick Start
source $HOME/openrc.sh
verify the OpenStack client works:
$ nova list +----+------------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Task State | Power State | Networks | +----+------------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------------+ +----+------------+--------+------------+-------------+-------------------------+

Run the dummy suite. It does nothing useful but shows all works as expected. Note that the first time it is run, it can take a long time (from a few minutes to half an hour or so) because it downloads and uploads a cloud image to the OpenStack provider.

The easiest way to run the integration tests is to first run a dummy suite:
$ teuthology-openstack --key-name myself --suite dummy ... ssh access : ssh ubuntu@167.114.242.13
This will create a virtual machine suitable for the integration
test. Login wih the ssh access displayed at the end of the
teuthology-openstack command and run the following:
$ pkill -f teuthology-worker $ cd teuthology ; pip install "tox>=1.9" $ tox -v -e openstack-integration integration/openstack-integration.py::TestSuite::test_suite_noop PASSED ... ========= 9 passed in 2545.51 seconds ======== $ tox -v -e openstack integration/test_openstack.py::TestTeuthologyOpenStack::test_create PASSED ... ========= 1 passed in 204.35 seconds =========
Each target (i.e. a virtual machine or instance in the OpenStack parlance) created by the OpenStack backend are exactly the same. By default they have at least 8GB RAM, 20GB disk, 1 cpus and no disk attached. It is equivalent to having the following in the ~/.teuthology.yaml file:
openstack:
...
machine:
disk: 20 # GB
ram: 8000 # MB
cpus: 1
volumes:
count: 0
size: 1 # GB
If a job needs more RAM or disk etc. the following can be included in an existing facet (yaml file in the teuthology parlance):
openstack:
- machine:
disk: 100 # GB
volumes:
count: 4
size: 10 # GB
Teuthology interprets this as the minimimum requirements, on top of
the defaults found in the ~/.teuthology.yaml file and the job will
be given instances with at least 100GB root disk, 8GB RAM, 1 cpus and
four 10GB volumes attached. The highest value wins: if the job claims
to need 4GB RAM and the defaults are 8GB RAM, the targets will all
have 8GB RAM.
Note the dash before the machine key: the openstack element is
an array with one value. If the dash is missing, it is a dictionary instead.
It matters because there can be multiple entries per job such as:
openstack:
- machine:
disk: 40 # GB
ram: 8000 # MB
openstack:
- machine:
ram: 32000 # MB
openstack:
- volumes: # attached to each instance
count: 3
size: 200 # GB
When a job is composed with these, theuthology aggregates them as:
openstack:
- machine:
disk: 40 # GB
ram: 8000 # MB
- machine:
ram: 32000 # MB
- volumes: # attached to each instance
count: 3
size: 200 # GB
i.e. all entries are grouped in a list in the same fashion tasks are.
The resource requirement is the maximum of the resources found in each
element (including the default values). In the example above it is equivalent to:
openstack:
machine:
disk: 40 # GB
ram: 32000 # MB
volumes: # attached to each instance
count: 3
size: 200 # GB
Teuthology also supports virtual machines, which can function like physical machines but differ in the following ways:
The following description is based on the Red Hat lab used by the Ceph development and quality assurance teams.
The teuthology database of available machines contains a vpshost field. For physical machines, this value is null. For virtual machines, this entry is the name of the physical machine that that virtual machine resides on.
There are fixed "slots" for virtual machines that appear in the teuthology database. These slots have a machine type of vps and can be locked like any other machine. The existence of a vpshost field is how teuthology knows whether or not a database entry represents a physical or a virtual machine.
In order to get the right virtual machine associations, the following needs to be set in ~/.config/libvirt/libvirt.conf or for some older versions of libvirt (like ubuntu precise) in ~/.libvirt/libvirt.conf:

When a virtual machine is locked, downburst is run on that machine to install a
new image. This allows the user to set different virtual OSes to be installed
on the newly created virtual machine. Currently the default virtual machine is
ubuntu (precise). A different vm installation can be set using the
--os-type and --os-version options in teuthology.lock.
When a virtual machine is unlocked, downburst destroys the image on the machine.
Temporary yaml files are used to downburst a virtual machine. A typical yaml file will look like this:
downburst:
cpus: 1
disk-size: 30G
distro: centos
networks:
- {source: front}
ram: 4G
These values are used by downburst to create the virtual machine.
When locking a file, a downburst meta-data yaml file can be specified by using the downburst-conf parameter on the command line.
To find the downburst executable, teuthology first checks the PATH environment variable. If not defined, teuthology next checks for src/downburst/virtualenv/bin/downburst executables in the user's home directory, /home/ubuntu, and /home/teuthology. This can all be overridden if the user specifies a downburst field in the user's .teuthology.yaml file.
Because teuthology reinstalls a new machine, a new hostkey is generated. After
locking, once a connection is established to the new machine,
teuthology-lock with the --list or --list-targets options will
display the new keys. When vps machines are locked using the --lock-many
option, a message is displayed indicating that --list-targets should be run
later.
It is assumed that downburst is on the user's $PATH.
Most of the current teuthology test suite execution scripts automatically
download their tests from the master branch of the appropriate github
repository. People who want to run experimental test suites usually modify the
download method in the teuthology/task script to use some other branch or
repository. This should be generalized in later teuthology releases.
Teuthology QA suites can be found in src/ceph-qa-suite. Make sure that this
directory exists in your source tree before running the test suites.
Each suite name is determined by the name of the directory in ceph-qa-suite
that contains that suite. The directory contains subdirectories and yaml files,
which, when assembled, produce valid tests that can be run. The test suite
application generates combinations of these files and thus ends up running a
set of tests based off the data in the directory for the suite.
To run a suite, enter:
teuthology-suite -s <suite> [-c <ceph>] [-k <kernel>] [-e email] [-f flavor] [-t <teuth>] [-m <mtype>]
where:
suite: the name of the suite (the directory in ceph-qa-suite).ceph: ceph branch to be used.kernel: version of the kernel to be used.email: email address to send the results to.flavor: the kernel flavor to run againstteuth: version of teuthology to runmtype: machine type of the runtemplates: template file used for further modifying the suite (optional)
For example, consider:
teuthology-suite -s rbd -c wip-fix -k cuttlefish -e bob.smith@foo.com -f basic -t cuttlefish -m plana
The above command runs the rbd suite using the wip-fix branch of ceph, the
cuttlefish kernel, with a 'basic' kernel flavor, and the teuthology
cuttlefish branch will be used. It will run on plana machines and send an email
to bob.smith@foo.com when it's completed. For more details on
teuthology-suite, please consult the output of teuthology-suite --help.
In order for a queued task to be run, a teuthworker thread on
teuthology.front.sepia.ceph.com needs to remove the task from the queue.
On teuthology.front.sepia.ceph.com, run ps aux | grep teuthology-worker
to view currently running tasks. If no processes are reading from the test
version that you are running, additonal teuthworker tasks need to be started.
To start these tasks:
copy your build tree to
/home/teuthworkeronteuthology.front.sepia.ceph.com.Give it a unique name (in this example, xxx)
start up some number of worker threads (as many as machines you are testing with, there are 60 running for the default queue):
/home/virtualenv/bin/python /var/lib/teuthworker/xxx/virtualenv/bin/teuthworker /var/lib/teuthworker/archive --tube xxx --log-dir /var/lib/teuthworker/archive/worker_logs Note: The threads on teuthology.front.sepia.ceph.com are started via ~/teuthworker/start.sh. You can use that file as a model for your own threads, or add to this file if you want your threads to be more permanent.
Once the suite completes, an email message is sent to the users specified, and
a large amount of information is left on teuthology.front.sepia.ceph.com in
/var/lib/teuthworker/archive.
This is symbolically linked to /a for convenience. A new directory is created
whose name consists of a concatenation of the date and time that the suite was
started, the name of the suite, the ceph branch tested, the kernel used, and
the flavor. For every test run there is a directory whose name is the pid
number of the pid of that test. Each of these directory contains a copy of the
teuthology.log for that process. Other information from the suite is
stored in files in the directory, and task-specific yaml files and other logs
are saved in the subdirectories.
These logs are also publically available at
http://qa-proxy.ceph.com/teuthology/.
