Talos Data Formatting
Data is packaged as a file in an HTTP post object.
VALUES/AVERAGE
Two different types of data to be sent:
- A single value to be stored as the 'average' in the test_runs table
- 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
