Title of the talk

Distributed system analysis made easy with PBench

Description

In the current age where Performance Engineers often find themselves building distributed system solutions to run and publish benchmark numbers, the main issue that rises is in data collection for generating the same. The incomplete or inconsistent data collected make it difficult to compare data sets effectively. Inorder to deal with the same, Red Hat performance and scale group has built a benchmarking tool which works in all environments such as bare metal, on Prem cloud, public clouds and makes it much easier to collect the required configuration along with tools data at scale. It helps maintain consistency of data during the runs and helps analysing the collected data to facilitate comparisons by a dashboard. This talk will be highlighting the use of Pbench tool to solve this hectic task of collecting data and explain how best we utilise resources while running applications at scale. It will be beneficial for the people, who are looking for a benchmarking and performance analysis solution for their product with better consistency.

About Speaker

Myself Riya, I am Associate Software Engineer at RedHat and a part of the Performance & Scale Engineering team. I am working on a performance benchmarking tool, Pbench. My main area of responsiblity is the the backend part of pbench for enhancing the quality and ameliorating the features. Some of my responsibilities also include conversion of code from shell script to python, bug resolving and adding new functionalities. Other than that I love exploring new places, novels, food and movies.

[riya-17]

Sure.. Will add soon

[riya-17]

@bhavin192 I have updated the info

[riya-17]

Hey @bhavin192 can we schedule a demo run to know the environment for the talk today? If possible it will be good if we can connect through some medium like LinkedIn.

[bhavin192]

Usually we do the testing an hour before, that suites best. Previously we had issues where the setup worked well a day before but not on the day of the meetup. I will send details over mail or LinkedIn. If you want to check your screensharing, mic etc, you can try it on this link, https://meet.jit.si/PythonPuneHangoutRoom

[riya-17]

Ohh ok.. Thank you.. I was unaware

[bhavin192]

No worries, we appreciate your willingness to test the setup beforehand. I have shared the details with you over email.

[visheshh]

Hi @riya-17 , Can you help me setting up pbench-server and pbench-web-server. I am not able to find any Installation guides.

[riya-17]

Hey @vishesh,
Sure, I would love to but at present we are working to make it external user specific as we have some functionalities that are only available only internally due to which installation on public end is not properly available.
Will update you as soon as we achieve it.

Thanks a lot for your interest in Pbench
