Performance Traffic Engine - PTE

The Performance Traffic Engine (PTE) uses SDKs to interact with Hyperledger Fabric networks by sending requests to and receiving responses from one or more networks. Currently, PTE only uses Hyperledger Fabric Client (HFC) Node SDK and will include other SDKs in the future.

PTE is designed to meet two-fold requirements:

to handle the complexity of the Hyperledger Fabric network, e.g., locations and number of network, number of channels, organizations, peers, orderers etc.
to support various test cases, e.g., various chaincodes, transaction number, duration, mode, type, and payload size etc,

In order to meet the two-fold requirements above, flexibility and modularity are the primary design concepts of PTE regarding implementation and usage. Moreover, PTE provides users many options for their test cases, see below for available options. The design of PTE is demonstrated in the diagram below:

In brief, PTE has the following features:

channel: to create and join channel
chaincode: to install and instantiate user specified chaincode
transactions: to deliver transactions to the targeted peers with specified transaction mode, type, and frequency
network: to interact with local and/or remote networks simultaneously
scaling: easy to work with any number of networks, orderers, peers, organizations, channels, chaincodes etc.
events: to open and listen to event port and maintain the record of events received and un-received
blockchain height: to query blockchain height and number of transactions
results: to provide number of transactions sent versus the events received, and validates blockchain contents after last transaction
multiple PTEs: easy to manage multiple PTEs, see the diagram below:

Prerequisites

To build and test the following prerequisites must be installed first:

node and npm lts/boron release (v6.10.x and v3.10.x)
- node v7 is not currently supported
gulp command
- npm install -g gulp
go (v1.7 or later)
- refer to Go - Getting Started
others:
- in Ubuntu: apt install -y build-essential python libltdl-dev
- or refer to your distribution's repository

If planning to run your Fabric network locally, you'll need docker and a bit more. See Hyperledger Fabric - Getting Started for details. `

Setup

Download fabric-test sources:
- go get -d github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test
Download or update fabric, fabric-ca, and fabric-sdk-node sources, see Hyperledger fabric-test for details:
- cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test
- if first time:
  - git submodule update --init --recursive
  - git submodule foreach git pull origin master
- else:
  - git submodule foreach git pull origin master
Obtain appropriate docker images:

Optionally, you may choose to skip this step of obtaining fabric and fabric-ca images if plan to run PTE against a remote Fabric network. See Creating a local Fabric network for additional information on this.
- fabric
  - download from dockerhub:
    - cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/scripts
    - If testing v1.0.0: ./bootstrap-1.0.0.sh
  - build images yourself (v1.0.0 shown here):
    - cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/
    - git checkout v1.0.0
    - make docker
- fabric-ca
  - cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric-ca
  - git checkout v1.0.0
  - make docker
- fabric-sdk-node
  - cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric-sdk-node
  - If testing v1.0.0: git checkout v1.0.0
  - npm install
    - you should be able to safely ignore any warnings
  - gulp ca
Install PTE:
- cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/tools
- cp -r PTE $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric-sdk-node/test
Create Service Credentials file(s) for your Fabric network:
- See the examples in SCFiles and change the address to your own Fabric addresses and credentials. Add a block for each organization and peer, ensuring correctness.
Specify run scenarios:
- Create your own version of PTEMgr.txt (if use pte_mgr.sh), runCases.txt and User Input json files, according to the test requirements. Use the desired chaincode name, channel name, organizations, etc. Using the information in your own network profiles, remember to "create" all channels, "join" channel, and "install" and "instantiate" chaincode for each org, to ensure all peers are set up correctly. Additional information can be found below.

Running PTE

Before attempting to run PTE ensure your network is running! If you do not have access to a Fabric network, please see the section on Creating a local Fabric network.

Usage

There are two ways to execute PTE: pte_mgr.sh and pte_driver.sh. pte_mgr.sh can be used to manage multiple PTEs while pte_driver.sh can only manage one PTE.

pte_mgr.sh
```
`./pte_mgr.sh <PTE mgr input file>`
```
- Example
  
  ./pte_mgr.sh sampleccInputs/PTEMgr.txt
  
  sampleccInputs/PTEMgr.txt contains the list of user specified run cases to be executed. Each line is a PTE run case and includes two parameters: driver type and run case file.
  
  For instance, a PTE mgr file containing two run cases files would be:
```
  driver=pte sampleccInputs/runCases-constant-i-TLS.txt
  driver=pte sampleccInputs/runCases-constant-q-TLS.txt
```
  Note: Available driver type is pte only.
pte_driver.sh

./pte_driver.sh <run cases file>
- Example
  
  ./pte_driver.sh sampleccInputs/runCases.txt
  
  sampleccInputs/runCases.txt contains the list of test cases to be executed. Each line is a test case and includes two parameters: SDK type and user input file.
  
  For instance, a run cases file containing three test cases using the node SDK would be:
```
  sdk=node sampleccInputs/samplecc-chan1-i-TLS.json
  sdk=node sampleccInputs/samplecc-chan2-i-TLS.json
  sdk=node sampleccInputs/samplecc-chan3-i-TLS.json
```
  Note: Available SDK types are node, go, python and java; however, only the node SDK is currently supported.
See User Input file in the Reference section below for more information about these files.

Transaction Execution

A single test case is described by a user input file. User input files define all the parameters for executing a test; including transaction type, number of processes, number of transactions, duration, etc. All processes in one test case will concurrently execute the specified transaction. Different transactions may be used in different test cases and then combined into a single run cases file, making it possible to create more complicated scenarios. For example, in a single run of PTE, a user could send a specific number of invokes to all peers and then query each peer separately.

Transaction Execution Control

The transaction can be executed with either transaction number or run time duration. They are controlled by two user input parameters nRequest and runDur. See User Input file in the Reference section below on how to control transaction execution using these two parameters.

Transaction Type

Invoke (move)

To execute invoke (move) transactions, set the transType to Invoke and invokeType to Move, and specify the network parameters and desired execution parameters:

  "invokeCheck": "TRUE",
  "transMode": "Constant",
  "transType": "Invoke",
  "invokeType": "Move",
  "targetPeers": "OrgAnchor",
  "nProcPerOrg": "4",
  "nRequest": "1000",
  "runDur": "600",
  "TLS": "Enabled",

And set the channel name in channelOpt:

  "channelOpt": {
      "name": "testchannel1",
      "channelTX": "/root/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/common/tools/cryptogen/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/testorgschannel1.tx",
      "action":  "create",
      "orgName": [
          "testOrg1"
      ]
  },

Invoke (query)

To execute invoke (move) transactions, set the transType to Invoke and invokeType to Query, and specify the network parameters and desired execution parameters:

  "invokeCheck": "TRUE",
  "transMode": "Constant",
  "transType": "Invoke",
  "invokeType": "Query",
  "targetPeers": "OrgAnchor",
  "nProcPerOrg": "4",
  "nRequest": "1000",
  "runDur": "600",
  "TLS": "Enabled",

And set the channel name in channelOpt:

  "channelOpt": {
      "name": "testchannel1",
      "channelTX": "/root/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/common/tools/cryptogen/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/testorgschannel1.tx",
      "action":  "create",
      "orgName": [
          "testOrg1"
      ]
  },

Sample Use Cases

Latency
Example: sampleccInputs/samplecc-latency-i.json Performs 1000 invokes (Move) with 1 process on 1 network using the sample_cc chaincode. The average of the execution result (execution time (ms)/1000 transactions) represents the latency of 1 invoke (Move).
Long run
Example: sampleccInputs/samplecc-longrun-i.json Performs invokes (Move) of various payload size ranging from 1kb-2kb with 1 processes on one network using sample_cc chaincode for 72 hours at 1 transaction per second.
Concurrency
Example: sampleccInputs/samplecc-concurrency-i.json Performs invokes (Move) of 1kb payload with 50 processes on one 4-peer network using sample_cc chaincode for 10 minutes.
Complex
Example: sampleccInputs/samplecc-complex-i.json Performs invokes (Move) of various payload size ranging from 10kb-500kb with 10 processes on one 4-peer network using sample_cc chaincode for 10 minutes. Each invoke (Move) is followed by an invoke (Query).
More complicated scenarios
- For multiple chaincodes deployments and transactions, configure each user input file to install and instantiate chaincodes and drive the transactions appropriately.
- For a stress test on a single network, set all SCFiles to same network. Then concurrent execution of the test is performed against the network but with the workload specified in each user input file.
- For a density test, configure config json in SCFiles, create run cases files, and user input files for each network. Then execute pte_mgr.sh against these run cases files.

Additional Use Cases

Although PTE's primary use case is to drive transactions into a Fabric network, it can be used for creating and joining channels, and chaincode installation and instantiation. This gives the ability for more complete end-to-end scenarios.

Channel Operations

For any channel activities (create or join), set transType to Channel:

  "transMode": "Constant",
  "transType": "Channel",
  "invokeType": "Move",

Create a channel

To create a channel, set the action in channelOpt to create, and set the name to the channel name. Note that orgName is ignored in this operation:

  "channelOpt": {
      "name": "testchannel1",
      "channelTX": "/root/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/common/tools/cryptogen/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/testorgschannel1.tx",
      "action":  "create",
      "orgName": [
          "testOrg1"
      ]
  },

Join a channel

To join all peers in an org to a channel, set the action in channelOpt to join, set name to channel name, and set orgName to the list of orgs to join:

  "channelOpt": {
      "name": "testchannel1",
      "channelTX": "/root/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/common/tools/cryptogen/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/testorgschannel1.tx",
      "action":  "join",
      "orgName": [
          "testOrg1"
      ]
  },

Chaincode Operations

For chaincode setup (install or instantiate) set deploy according to the test. For example:

  "deploy": {
      "chaincodePath": "github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric-sdk-node/test/fixtures/src/github.com/sample_cc",
      "fcn": "init",
      "args": []
  },

In above example, a default endorsement policy of "a signature by any member from any of the organizations corresponding to the array of member service providers" is used. If the test need a specific endorsement policy when chaincode instantiate, the 'endorsement' section need be configured like below format:

   "deploy": {
       "chaincodePath": "github.com/hyperledger/fabric-sdk-node/test/fixtures/src/github.com/sample_cc",
       "fcn": "init",
       "endorsement": {
                     "identities": [
                      { "role": { "name": "member", "mspId": "Org1MSP" }},
                      { "role": { "name": "member", "mspId": "Org2MSP" }}
                         ],
                     "policy": {
                        "2-of": [{ "signed-by": 0 }, { "signed-by": 1 }]
                       }
                    },
      "args": []
  },

The policy syntax definition in : Polciy Specification

Install a chaincode

To install a chaincode, set the transType to install:

  "transMode": "Constant",
  "transType": "install",
  "invokeType": "Move",

And set channelOpt name to the channel name and orgName to a list of org names:

  "channelOpt":
      "name":  "testchannel1",
      "channelTX": "/root/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/common/tools/cryptogen/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/testorgschannel1.tx",
      "action":  "create",
      "orgName": [
          "testOrg1"
      ]
  },

Note that action is ignored.

Instantiate a chaincode

To instantiate a chaincode, set the transType to instantiate:
```
  "transMode": "Constant",
  "transType": "instantiate",
  "invokeType": "Move",
```
and set channelOpt name to the channel name and specify the list of organizations that the chaincode will be instantiated:
```
  "channelOpt": {
      "name":  "testchannel1",
      "channelTX": "/root/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/common/tools/cryptogen/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/testorgschannel1.tx",
      "action":  "create",
      "orgName": [
          "testOrg1",
          "testOrg2"
      ]
  },
```
Note that action is ignored. PTE instantiates chaincode on all peers of each organization listed in channelOpt.orgName.

Recommendation: instantiate a chaincode on the organization before sending a transaction to any peer of that organization.

Query Blockchain Height Operations

For any query blockchain height activities (query block), set transType to QueryBlock:

  "transMode": "Constant",
  "transType": "QueryBlock",
  "invokeType": "Move",

Query Blockchain height

To query the length (number of transactions) in blocks, set org, peer, startBlock, and endBlock in queryBlockOpt:

  "queryBlockOpt": {
      "org":  "org1",
      "peer":  "peer1",
      "startBlock":  "195",
      "endBlock":  "200"
  },

The following is the output with startBlock=195 and endBlock=200. The output includes the block height and the number of transactions from startBlock to endBlock.

  info: [PTE 0 main]: [queryBlockchainInfo] Channel queryInfo() returned block height=202
  info: [PTE 0 main]: [queryBlockchainInfo] block:Length:accu length= 195:10:10
  info: [PTE 0 main]: [queryBlockchainInfo] block:Length:accu length= 196:10:20
  info: [PTE 0 main]: [queryBlockchainInfo] block:Length:accu length= 197:10:30
  info: [PTE 0 main]: [queryBlockchainInfo] block:Length:accu length= 198:10:40
  info: [PTE 0 main]: [queryBlockchainInfo] block:Length:accu length= 199:10:50
  info: [PTE 0 main]: [queryBlockchainInfo] block:Length:accu length= 200:10:60
  info: [PTE 0 main]: [queryBlockchainInfo] blocks= 195:200, totalLength= 60

Chaincodes

The following chaincodes are tested and supported:

example02: This is a simple chaincode with limited capability. This chaincode is NOT suitable for performance benchmark.
sample_cc: This chaincode supports variable (randomized) payload sizes and performs encryption and decryption on the payload. Specify ccType as ccchecker when using this chaincode. See directory sampleccInputs for examples related to this chaincode. This chaincode is available in $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/chaincodes/samplecc/go. Set the deploy.chaincodePath to this directory in the user input file.
```
  "deploy": {
      "chaincodePath": "github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/chaincodes/samplecc/go",
      "fcn": "init",
      "args": []
  },
```
marbles_cc: Marbles chaincode. PTE alters the marble name (the first argument) and the marble size (the third argument) for each initMarble transaction. Specify ccType as marblescc when using this chaincode. See directory marblesccInputs for examples related to this chaincode. This chaincode is available in $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/examples/chaincode/go/marbles02. Set the deploy.chaincodePath to this directory in the user input file.
```
  "deploy": {
      "chaincodePath": "github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/examples/chaincode/go/marbles02",
      "fcn": "init",
      "args": []
  },
```
sample_js: This is the Node JS chaincode of sample_cc. See directory samplejsInputs for examples related to this chaincode. This chaincode is available in $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/chaincodes/samplecc/node. Set the deploy.chaincodePath to this directory in the user input file.
```
  "deploy": {
      "chaincodePath": "github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/chaincodes/samplecc/node",
      "fcn": "init",
      "language": "node",
      "args": []
  },
```

Output

Statistical Output Message

The statistical output message includes PTE id, network id, channel name, org name, process id, transaction type, total transactions received and sent, elapsed time, starting time, ending time, and number of un-received events.

For example, the following is the statistical output message for a test case with 4 processes.

  info: [PTE 0 main]: stdout: info: [PTE 0 exec]: [Nid:chan:org:id=0:testorgschannel1:org2:0 eventRegister] completed Rcvd(sent)=1000(1000) Invoke(Move) in 46199 ms, timestamp: start 1508185534030 end 1508185580229, #event timeout: 0
  info: [PTE 0 main]: stdout: info: [PTE 0 exec]: [Nid:chan:org:id=0:testorgschannel1:org2:1 eventRegister] completed Rcvd(sent)=1000(1000) Invoke(Move) in 46266 ms, timestamp: start 1508185533969 end 1508185580235, #event timeout: 0
  info: [PTE 0 main]: stdout: info: [PTE 0 exec]: [Nid:chan:org:id=0:testorgschannel1:org1:0 eventRegister] completed Rcvd(sent)=1000(1000) Invoke(Move) in 54232 ms, timestamp: start 1508185533962 end 1508185588194, #event timeout: 0
  info: [PTE 0 main]: stdout: info: [PTE 0 exec]: [Nid:chan:org:id=0:testorgschannel1:org1:1 eventRegister] completed Rcvd(sent)=1000(1000) Invoke(Move) in 54613 ms, timestamp: start 1508185533985 end 1508185588598, #event timeout: 0

Completed Message

For each process, One message of pte-exec:completed is logged in PTE output upon the status of completion of each process. For each pte_driver.sh (each line in runCase.txt) execution, one message of pte-main:completed is logged in the PTE output upon completion of all associated pte_driver.sh.

pte-main:completed For each runCases.txt, a pte-main:completed message is logged in PTE output.
pte-exec:completed If PTE completed normally, then the message pte-exec:completed is logged.
pte-exec:completed:timeout If PTE completed but with any event timeout, then the message pte-exec:completed:timeout is logged.
pte-exec:completed:error If PTE exits due to any error, then the message pte-exec:completed:error is logged.

For example, if pte_mgr.sh is executed with a mgr.txt contains:

  driver=pte CITest/FAB-3832-4i/samplecc/runCases-FAB-3832-4i1-TLS.txt

and runCases-FAB-3832-4i1-TLS.txt contains

  sdk=node CITest/FAB-3832-4i/samplecc/samplecc-chan1-FAB-3832-4i-TLS.json

and samplecc-chan1-FAB-3832-4i-TLS.json contains

  ...
  "nProcPerOrg": "2",
  ...
  "channelOpt": {
      ...
      "orgName": [
          "org1",
          "org2"
      ]
  },

Then there will be 4 pte-exec:completed messages since there are 4 processes, 2 org and 2 processes per org. And there will be 1 pte-main:completed since 1 pte_driver.sh is executed (only one line of sdk=node in runCases.txt). The completed message will be as follow:

  info: [PTE 0 main]: stdout: info: [PTE 0 exec]: [Nid:chan:org:id=0:testorgschannel1:org2:0 eventRegister] pte-exec:completed
  info: [PTE 0 main]: stdout: info: [PTE 0 exec]: [Nid:chan:org:id=0:testorgschannel1:org2:1 eventRegister] pte-exec:completed
  info: [PTE 0 main]: stdout: info: [PTE 0 exec]: [Nid:chan:org:id=0:testorgschannel1:org1:0 eventRegister] pte-exec:completed
  info: [PTE 0 main]: stdout: info: [PTE 0 exec]: [Nid:chan:org:id=0:testorgschannel1:org1:1 eventRegister] pte-exec:completed
  info: [PTE 0 main]: [performance_main] pte-main:completed

When the transmode is CONSTANT, the latency metrics for proposal, transaction and event of each process are provided. Where

 * **proposal**: the time between the prosoal is sent to peers and the response is received.
 * **transaction**: the time between the transaction is sent to orderer and response is received.
 * **event**: the time between the event is registered, the transaction is sent to orderer, and the event is received.

The output of the latency metrics include average, minimum, and maximum of all transactions for that process. The following is an example of the output with two processes, one targets org1 and one targets org2 with 1000 transactions each:

  info: [PTE 0 main]: stdout: info: [PTE 0 exec]: [Nid:chan:org:id=0:testorgschannel1:org1:0 latency_output] peer latency stats: tx num= 1000, total time: 10240 ms, avg= 10.24 ms, min= 5 ms, max= 92 ms
  info: [PTE 0 main]: stdout: info: [PTE 0 exec]: [Nid:chan:org:id=0:testorgschannel1:org1:0 latency_output] orderer latency stats: tx num= 1000, total time: 8735 ms, avg= 8.73 ms, min= 4 ms, max= 79 ms

Creating a local Fabric network

If you do not yet have the Fabric docker images in your local docker registry, please either build them from Fabric source or download them from dockerhub.
- cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/examples/e2e_cli/
- sh ./download-dockerimages.sh -c x86_64-1.0.0 -f x86_64-1.0.0
If you do not have an existing network already, you can start a network using the Fabric e2e example:
- cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test/fabric/examples/e2e_cli/
- Edit network_setup.sh
  - change COMPOSE_FILE to
    
    COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose-e2e.yaml
  - comment out docker logs -f cli
- ./network_setup.sh up
Alternatively, consider using the NetworkLauncher tool:
- cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/
- git clone https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-test
- cd tools/NL
- ./networkLauncher.sh -?

CI Test

A set of predefined tests are designed for CI daily or weekly execution and are available in the directory, CITest, under PTE.

Remote PTE

This feature allows user to execute PTE (PTE manager and/or driver) to send transactions from remote hosts to Blockchain networks, see diagram below.

In order to execute PTE remotely, the PTE controller host will need to have access to the remote PTE hosts. In the setup below, ssh auto login without password is illustrated. However, users should choose any preferred remote access method between PTE controller host and remote PTE hosts for their environment.

Usage

./pte_ctlr.sh <PTE controller file>
- Example
  
  ./pte_ctlr.sh ctlrInputs/PTECtlr.txt
  
  ctlrInputs/PTECtlr.txt contains the list of testcases to be executed on the remote hosts. Each line is a PTE controller case and inlcude three parameters: driver type, user/host, and a script. The available driver type is ctlr only.
  
  For instance, this sample PTE controller file conatins two control testcases:
```
  driver=ctlr pteuser@remotePTEhost.com ctlrInputs/remotePTEhost-samplecc-q.sh
  driver=ctlr pteuser@remotePTEhost.com ctlrInputs/remotePTEhost-samplecc-i.sh
```
Setup
- On the local host where the PTE controller resides
  - setup ssh auto login to remote systems without password. Note that users may choose a preferred method for remote access.
  - a PTECtlr.txt file containing the controller testcases, e.g., PTE/ctlrInputs/PTECtlr.txt
  - all controller testcases files, e.g., PTE/ctlrInputs/pteHost11-samplecc-q.sh
- On the remote host where the PTE manager/driver resides
  - setup PTE
  - contains crypto keys of the Blockchain network
  - a script to execute PTE, e.g., PTE/CITest/scripts/test_driver_remote.sh, Users can create scripts for their testcases.
- Blockchain network
  - can be a single host or multi hosts network
Setup ssh auto login without password

Note that ssh is just one method for the PTE controller host to access remote PTE. Users should choose a method suitable for their environment.
- On PTE controller host (assuming the remote access is pteuser@remotePTEhost.com):
  - ssh-keygen -t rsa (You can just hit return for each question.)
  - ssh pteuser@remotePTEhost.com mkdir -p .ssh
    
    pteuser@remotePTEhost.com's password:
  - cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh pteuser@remotePTEhost.com 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
    
    pteuser@remotePTEhost.com's password:
