### Signaling to Kraken This functionality allows a user to be able to pause or stop the kraken run at any time no matter the number of iterations or daemon_mode set in the config If publish_kraken_status is set to True in the config, kraken will start up a connection to a url at a certain port to decide if it should continue running By default it will get posted to http://0.0.0.0:8081/ An example use case for this feature would be coordinating kraken runs based on the status of the service installation or load on the cluster #### States There are 3 states in the kraken status ```PAUSE```: When the Kraken signal is 'PAUSE', this will pause the kraken test and wait for the wait_duration until the signal returns to RUN ```STOP```: When the Kraken signal is 'STOP', end the kraken run and print out report ```RUN```: When the Kraken signal is 'RUN', continue kraken run based on iterations #### Configuration In the config you need to set these parameters to tell kraken which port to post the kraken run status to As well if you want to publish and stop running based on the kraken status or not The signal is set to `RUN` by default meaning it will continue to run the scenarios, it can set to `PAUSE` for Kraken to act as listener and wait until set to `RUN` before injecting chaos ``` port: 8081 publish_kraken_status: True signal_state: RUN ``` #### Setting Signal See [set_stop_signal.py](https://github.com/cloud-bulldozer/kraken/tree/master/set_stop_signal.py) for an example of how to reset the kraken status during kraken execution Make sure to set the correct port number in your set_stop_signal script ##### Url Examples To stop run: ``` curl -X POST http:/0.0.0.0:8081/STOP ``` To pause run: ``` curl -X POST http:/0.0.0.0:8081/PAUSE ``` To start running again: ``` curl -X POST http:/0.0.0.0:8081/RUN ```
