Workload selection

The workloadsSelection is a structure used to define the metrics that are used by Akamas to model workloads as part of a live optimization study.

workloadsSelection:
  - name: component1.metric1
  - name: component2.metric2:p95

with the following fields:

Field	Type	Value restriction	Is required	Default value	Description
name	string	should match the following syntax: component_name.metric_name<:aggregation> where component_name is an existing component, metric_name is an existing metric associated with the component-type of the component component_name, and aggregation is an optional aggregation (default avg)	TRUE		The metric of the component that represents the workload

Workload metrics must have been defined in the metricsSelection. Variables used in the name field can include an aggregation. The following aggregations are available: avg, min, max, sum, p90, p95, p99.

Examples

The following refers to a workload represented by the metric transactions_throughput of the konakart component with multiple aggregations:

workloadsSelection:
  - name: konakart.transactions_throughput
  - name: konakart.transactions_throughput:p95
