[Ovirt-devel] [PATCH] oVirt / RRD Test Data

[Mohammed Morsi]

Attached is my now functional ruby script to generate test / demo rrd 
data and the oVirt patch required to get it working (a few small code 
tweaks / fixes and a few fixture modifications).

1. To generate the data data simply run `ruby demo-rrd-data.rb`. There 
are a few variables at the top of the script which you can tweak to 
configure things like nodes generated, cpu's per node, interval in 
seconds between data points, etc.
2. To see the test data, you need to be running rails in the testing 
environment and have a populated ovirt_test db. This can be accomplished 
by running the tests once (eg 'rake test')
3. Alot of data needs to be generated, thus the script is slow (at least 
on my system), and it isn't yet set to generate the number of data 
points in a time period that collectd does / oVirt is expecting (change 
the $interval variable at the top of the script from 60 to 10 to do 
this, but this will be all the more slower). Since the graphs require 
more data points than it is currently getting, they appear a bit 
discrete. Perhaps we can correct this and run it on a faster machine and 
just send out and use the data set generated. Alternatively, I could 
disable some of the algorithms used to generated data and simply reuse 
data points for some of the graphs if series repetition is not a problem.
