Talos Data Formatting

Data is packaged as a file in an HTTP post object.

VALUES/AVERAGE

Two different types of data to be sent:

1. A single value to be stored as the 'average' in the test_runs table
2. A set of (interval, value) pairs to be stored in the test_run_values table, 'average' to be calculated by collector script

First type will be called 'AVERAGE' second called 'VALUES'. All data is formatted using comma separated notation.

date_run = seconds since epoch (linux time stamp) page_name = is unique to pages when combined with the pageset_id from test table

• for sending interval, value pairs

START
VALUES
machine_name,test_name,branch_name,ref_changeset,ref_build_id,date_run
interval0,value0,page_name0
interval1,value1,page_name1
...
intervalEND,valueEND,page_id
END

• for sending a single value

 START
 AVERAGE
 machine_name,test_name,branch_name,ref_changeset,ref_build_id,date_run
 value0
 END

Examples

AMO

Proposed 3rd type will be called 'AMO'. Return code simple Success/Failure. All data is formatted using comma separated notation.

date_run = seconds since epoch (linux time stamp) page_name = is unique to pages when combined with the pageset_id from test table

START
AMO
