DEMO Chaos Monkey for Spring Boot

This is a demo using Chaos Monkey for Spring Boot to demonstrate chaos engineering at the app level.

The provided docker-compose will start Prometheus and Grafana to observe what's happening when failures and exceptions are injected into the app.

This demo was originally used at GrafanaCon LA 2019, various JUGs and Enterprise demos.

Requirements

  • Docker
  • Docker Compose

Run the demo

1. Start docker-compose

Docker will start containers for Redis, Prometheus, Grafana, Locust and the 2 Spring Boot applications.

cd script
./start-containers.sh

2. Verify that the containers are running

3. Import the Grafana Dashboard

You need to import manually the dashboard.

Log in to Grafana (admin/admin) and go to Dashboards -> Manage -> Import page. Then upload the JSON file located in the /docker/grafana/dashboards folder of this project.

The Prometheus Datasource is set up automatically.

4. Simulate user traffic

Open the Locust Dashboard, add 50 users and click on the Start swarming button.

5. Run an experiment

5.1 Enable Chaos Monkey

./enable-cmsb.sh

5.2 Set the assault

    curl -X POST \
      http://localhost:8081/actuator/chaosmonkey/assaults \
      -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      -d ' {
        "level": 10,
        "latency_range_start": 2000,
        "latency_range_end": 5000,
        "latency_active": false,
        "exceptions_active": false
        }'

5.3 Check Grafana Dashboard

5.4 Fix and restart

Update the code and restart the client

./restart-client.sh

5.4 Check Grafana Dashboard

6. Stop everything

Run the following script to stop and clean up all the containers.

./stop-containers.sh
