Install these requirements:
 
  
  sudo apt-get update
+
<big>'''Rally wiki documentation is obsolete.'''</big>
  sudo apt-get install libpq-dev git-core python-dev libevent-dev libssl-dev
 
  
If you would like to install in virtualenv Rally, make next steps firstly:  
+
''Everything moved to https://rally.readthedocs.org''
  
  pip install -U virtualenv
+
Here is [https://rally.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html Rally Installation Guide]
  virtualenv .venv
 
  . .venv/bin/activate
 
 
 
 
 
Clone & Install rally:
 
 
 
  git clone https://github.com/stackforge/rally.git && cd rally
 
  python setup.py install
 
  openstack-rally-manage db recreate
 
 
 
 
 
Configure Rally
 
sudo mkdir /etc/rally
 
sudo cp ~/git/rally/etc/rally/rally.sample.conf /etc/rally/rally.conf
 
sudo vim /etc/rally.conf
 
 
 
 
 
Create Rally Database
 
openstack-rally-manage db recreate
 
# the above will default to a sqlite database under the python dist-packages dir.
 
# to configure a different location define the connection property under the database group of rally.conf.
 
# this can lead to problems when (re)creating the database if the user you are running as does not have rwx
 
# permissions to py dist-packages dir.
 
# for example:
 
# [database]
 
# connection = sqlite:////tmp/rally.sqlite

== Version 0.1 ==
 
Initial version has many configuration options hardcoded and some things needs to be done manually. Configuration and setup will be improved in future versions.
 
 
 
Currently rally is tested to run on x64 Ubuntu 12.04 server
 
=== Install data collector node ===
 
[http://twitter.github.io/zipkin/index.html Zipkin] is used to collect profiling information.
 
 
 
Zipking uses a lot of RAM so collector node should have at least 6 Gb of RAM. Later we may choose alternative collector/visualization solution.
 
 
 
Install with:
 
$ git clone https://github.com/twitter/zipkin.git
 
 
 
Zipkin uses sqlite by default but it doesn't work under production load. Currently we use [http://cassandra.apache.org/ Cassandra] to store collected data
 
Install Cassandra DB:
 
$ wget http://mirror.metrocast.net/apache/cassandra/2.0.0/apache-cassandra-2.0.0-bin.tar.gz
 
$ tar xvzf apache-cassandra-2.0.0-bin.tar.gz
 
$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/cassandra
 
$ sudo chmod a+rw /var/lib/cassandra
 
$ sudo mkdir /var/log/cassandra
 
$ sudo chmod a+rw /var/log/cassandra
 
$ apache-cassandra-2.0.0/bin/cassandra &> cassandra-out
 
 
 
Create DB schema for zipkin:
 
$ apache-cassandra-2.0.0/bin/cassandra-cli -host localhost -port 9160 -f zipkin/zipkin-cassandra/src/schema/cassandra-schema.txt
 
 
 
Zipkin needs 3 services running. For the first time start each one separately and wait for it to load completely so it could download all dependencies
 
$ bin/collector
 
$ bin/query
 
$ bin/web
 
Later you can run them all together via screen:
 
$ screen -dmS zipkin-collector bin/collector cassandra
 
$ screen -dmS zipkin-query bin/query cassandra
 
$ screen -dmS zipkin-web bin/web
 
 
 
Collector node needs to be reachable from all cloud servers and it's IP should be defined in configuration file in deploy section:
 
'collectors': {
 
  'zipkin': '#data_collector_ip#'
 
}
