Review Guide

This doc is mainly for reviewers.

For testing, a Chaos Mesh instance is required. In next section, we will show how to deploy a Chaos Mesh instance with Helm.

Deploy Chaos Mesh

Refer to https://chaos-mesh.org/docs/production-installation-using-helm/ for more details.

Follow the steps below to deploy a minimal Chaos Mesh instance:

# Add the chart
helm repo add chaos-mesh https://charts.chaos-mesh.org
# Create a Chaos Mesh instance
# Refer to https://chaos-mesh.org/docs/production-installation-using-helm/#step-4-install-chaos-mesh-in-different-environments if you use containerd or other container runtimes.
helm install chaos-mesh chaos-mesh/chaos-mesh -n=chaos-mesh --create-namespace --set controllerManager.leaderElection.enabled=false,dashboard.securityMode=false

Verify the installation:

kubectl get pods -n chaos-mesh

Port-forward the dashboard:

kubectl port-forward svc/chaos-dashboard -n chaos-mesh 2333:2333

Then you can visit the dashboard at http://localhost:2333.

Test data source

For data source testing, there must be some Chaos events are already created. You can finish this step by creating a Chaos experiment in the dashboard.

Navigate to Experiments at the left sidebar and click New experiment button. For example, let's create a Pod Failure experiment. Select Kubernetes -> Pod Fault -> Pod Failure, then choose Namespace Selectors in Scope to default (this means the experiment will be applied to all pods in the default namespace). Finally, fill in a name like pod-failure and set Duration to 1m, and click Submit button to create the experiment.

Now you can test the data source. Start creating a query from here: https://github.com/chaos-mesh/datasource?tab=readme-ov-file#query. At the same time, you can also view created Chaos events via http://localhost:2333/#/events.
