Graph Plotter

Graph Plotter is to help you visualize the CSV file you got from the Istio performance benchmark.

Usage and Example Plot

Arguments

There are several required arguments that you need to specify:

--graph_type GRAPH_TYPE
Choose from one of them: [latency-p50, latency-p90, latency-p99, latency-p999, cpu-client, cpu-server, mem-client, mem-server].

--x_axis X_AXIS
Either qps or conn.

--telemetry_modes TELEMETRY_MODES
This is a list of perf test labels, currently it can be any combinations from the follow supported modes:
[none_mtls_baseline, none_mtls_both, v2-sd-full-nullvm_both, v2-stats-nullvm_both, v2-stats-wasm_both, v2-sd-nologging-nullvm_both].

--query_list QUERY_LIST
Specify the qps or conn range you want to plot based on the CSV file.
For example, conn_query_list=[2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64], qps_query_list=[10, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000].

--query_str QUERY_STR
Specify the qps or conn query_str that will be used to query your y-axis data based on the CSV file.
For example: conn_query_str=ActualQPS==1000, qps_query_str=NumThreads==16.

--csv_filepath CSV_FILEPATH
The path of the CSV file.

--graph_title GRAPH_TITLE
The graph title.

Plotting

You can use the example benchmark.csv file to plot a Latency-p50 vs. Connections graph use the following command:

python3 ./graph_plotter.py --graph_type=latency-p50 --x_axis=conn --telemetry_modes=none_mtls_baseline,none_mtls_both,v2-sd-full-nullvm_both,v2-stats-nullvm_both --query_list=2,4,8,16,32,64 --query_str=ActualQPS==1000 --csv_filepath=./example_plot/benchmark.csv --graph_title=./example_plot/plotter_output.png
