Helium Router Tests

Helium's LoRa Network Server (LNS) backend.

Usage

Running version docker exec -it helium_router cat /opt/router/router.version

Testing / Local

# Build
make docker-build

# Run
make docker-run

# Running tests
make docker-test

Optionally debug with sniffer to confirm router runtime behavior using a virtual LoRaWAN device and a software-based protocol sniffer.

Production

Image hosted on https://quay.io/repository/team-helium/router.

The docker-compose in this repo is an example and only runs Router and metrics server (via prometheus) please see https://github.com/helium/console to run full LNS stack.

# Build
docker-compose build --force-rm

# Up
docker-compose up -d

# Down
docker-compose down

# Tail logs
docker-compose logs -f --tail=20

# Get in container
docker exec -it helium_router bash

Data

Data is stored in /var/data.

WARNING: The swarm_key file in the blockchain directory is router's identity and linked to your OUI (and routing table). DO NOT DELETE THIS EVER.

Logs

Logs are contained in /var/data/log/router.log, by default logs will rotate every day and will remain for 7 days.

Config

Config is in .env. See .env-template for details.

Full config is in config/sys.config.src.

Router's deafult port for blockchain connection is 2154.

Prometheus template config file in prometheus-template.yaml.

CLI

Commands are run in the routerv3 directory using a docker container.

NOTE: sudo may be required

docker exec -it helium_router _build/default/rel/router/bin/router [CMD]

Following commands are appending to the docker command above.

Device Worker device

All Devices

device all

Info for a single device

device --id=<id>
Id Option

--id Device IDs are binaries, but should be provided plainly.

# good
device --id=1234-5678-890
# bad
device --id=<<"1234-5678-890">>

Single Device Queue

device queue --id=<id>
Options

ID Options

Clear Device's Queue

device queue clear --id=<id>
Options

ID Options

Add to Device's Queue

device queue add --id=<id> [--payload=<content> --channel-name=<name> --port=<port> --ack]
Options

--id ID Options --payload [default: "Test cli downlink message"] Set custom message for downlink to device.

--channel-name [default: "CLI custom channel"] Channel name Console will show for Integration.

--port [default: 1] Port to downlink on.

--ack [default: false] Boolean flag for requiring acknowledgement from the device.

Trace a device's logs

device trace --id=<id>
Options

ID Options

Stop trancing device's logs

device trace stop --id=<id>
Options

ID Options

Force XOR Filter push

device xor
Options

XOR will only happen if --commit is used, otherwise it will be a dry run.

Organization organization

All Orgs

organization info all [--less 42] [--more 42]
Options

--less <amount> Filter to Organizations that have a balance less than <amount>.

--more <amount> Filter to Organizations that have a balance more than <amount>.

Info for 1 Org

organization info <org_id>

Update Org Balance

organization update <org_id> -b <balance> [--commit]
Options

-b Balance to update to

Balance update will only happen if --commit is used, otherwise it will be a dry run.

Clearing a Device Queue from an Integration

If the payload_raw field is the base64 encoded value '__clear_downlink_queue__' any downlinks queued for that device will be removed.

Metrics

Router includes metrics that can be retrieved via prometheus.

Enable metrics

To enable Router's metrics you will need to add a new container for Prometheus, you can find an example of the setup in any of the docker-compose files. You can also get a basic configuration for prometheus in prometheus-template.yml, more config here.

Available metrics

See include/metrics.hrl

Note that any histogram will include _count, _sum and _bucket.

Displaying metrics

Grafana

Here are some of the most commun queries that can be added into grafana.

sum(rate(router_device_routing_packet_duration_count{type="packet", status="accepted"}[5m])) Rate of accepted packet.

rate(router_device_routing_offer_duration_sum{status="accepted"}[5m])/rate(router_device_routing_offer_duration_count{status="accepted"}[5m]) Time (in ms) to handle offer (accepted)

router_dc_balance{} Simple count of your Router's balance

sum(rate(router_console_api_duration_count{status="ok"}[5m])) / (sum(rate(router_console_api_duration_count{status="error"}[5m])) + sum(rate(router_console_api_duration_count{status="ok"}[5m]))) * 100 API success rate
