percona-platform-docker DEMO Setup

Purpose

The purpose of this is to automatically setup the percona platform tools and run some test workloads in order to be able to quickly evaluate and demonstrate them.

It can also be very useful for automatic testing of new releases of our docker images and software.

This will setup:

2 percona server servers, with percona-agent
6 containers mysqld_exporter for prometheus monitoring of the mysql servers
2 sysbench containers each running a benchmark on a percona server container
1 prometheus node monitor (for OS Metrics)
1 percona platform (based on Daniel's docker container)

Prerequisites

Ensure you have docker and docker-compose installed. This came automagically when installing Docker Toolbox for OSX, available here: https://www.docker.com/docker-toolbox.

Build Environment

docker-compose build

Bring Environment UP

docker-compose up -d

Go to web interfaces

It takes a while before the whole environment is up and running, but just try to go to the different interfaces:

Percona QAN will be listening on http://192.168.99.100:8000, where 192.168.99.100 is the IP address of the machine running docker containers
Grafana is accessible on http://192.168.99.100:3000/, username:password is admin:admin. Note that some dashboards use the mysqld- hosts (MySQL Metrics), others the node- dashboards (OS Level Metrics).
Consul UI is available at http://192.168.99.100:8500/ui (used for service discovery).

Remove environment

Just run:

docker-compose stop
docker-compose rm

NOTES

This tool does not yet support stop and start, percona-platform actually fails on this
