Troubleshooting

Testground is still in early stage of development, so it is possible that:

• Testground crashes

• One of the underlying systems that Testground uses crashes (Kubernetes, weave , redis, etc.)

• Testground doesn't properly clean-up after a test run

• etc.

Here are a few commands that could be helpful for you to inspect the state of your Kubernetes cluster and clean up after Testground:

Delete all pods related to a test plan

Delete all pods that have the testground.plan=dht label. This is useful in case you used the --run-cfg keep_service=true setting on Testground.

$ kubectl delete pods -l testground.plan=dht --grace-period=0 --force

Restart the sidecar

Restart the sidecar daemon which manages networks for all testplans

$ kubectl delete pods -l name=testground-sidecar --grace-period=0 --force

Review running, completed, failed pods

You can check all running pods with

$ kubectl get pods -o wide

Another useful combination is watching for pods that are not in Running state or that are failing their health checks, with:

# watch all non-running pods
watch 'kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide | grep -v Running'

# watch all not-ready pods
watch 'kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide | grep "0\/1"'

Get logs from a given pod

$ kubectl logs <pod-id, e.g. tg-dht-c95b5>

Get access to the Redis shell

$ kubectl port-forward svc/testground-infra-redis-master 6379:6379 &
$ redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379
