Infrastructure

Phileas Benchmark includes integrated support for performance data visualization using OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards.

OpenSearch Stack

The provided docker-compose.yaml defines a local environment for storing and analyzing benchmark results.

Services

• OpenSearch: A distributed search and analytics engine where benchmark results are stored.
  • Port: 9200 (API), 9600 (Performance Analyzer)
  • Authentication: Disabled for local testing (default admin password is SuperSecretPassword_123).
• OpenSearch Dashboards: A visualization tool to create charts and dashboards from the data in OpenSearch.
  • Port: 5601

Running the Stack

To start the infrastructure:

docker-compose up -d

To stop the services:

docker-compose down

Data Lifecycle

1. Generation: Run the benchmark with the json output format.
2. Indexing: Use curl or the provided run-and-index.sh to send the JSON data to the OpenSearch Bulk API.
3. Visualization: Create an index pattern for phileas_benchmarks in OpenSearch Dashboards to begin building visualizations.

Mappings

The phileas_benchmarks index uses specific mappings for optimized querying:

• timestamp: Date (epoch_millis)
• run_id: Keyword
• phileas_version: Keyword
• document: Keyword
• redactor: Keyword
• workload_millis: Long
• calls_per_sec: Nested object containing throughput for various string lengths.
