Running a simple chaos toolkit experiment

Install Chaos Toolkit & required drivers as mentioned here:

1. Setting up ChaosToolkit Execution Environment

Make sure the virtual environment is activated.

Create the following file:

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "title": "random website testing",
  "description": "Just checking the chaostoolkit base stuff",
  "steady-state-hypothesis": {
    "title": "Website is OK",
    "probes": [
      {
        "type": "probe",
        "name": "website-must-be-up",
        "tolerance": 200,
        "provider": {
          "type": "http",
          "timeout": [
            3,
            5
          ],
          "url": "https://httpbin.org/forms/post",
          "method": "GET"
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  "method": [
    {
      "type": "probe",
      "name": "website-must-return-202",
      "tolerance": 202,
      "provider": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://httpbin.org/status/202"
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "probe",
      "name": "response should be json",
      "tolerance": {
        "type": "jsonpath",
        "path": "$.slideshow.author",
        "expect": [
          "failed"
        ],
        "target": "body"
      },
      "provider": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://httpbin.org/json"
      }
    }
  ],
  "rollbacks": []
}

Running the experiment:

chaos run SimpleExperiment.json

ScreenGrab:

The same can be run in a Jenkins Pipeline:

The jenkins pipeline script is as follows:

pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {
        stage('Deploy') {
            steps {
                // Get some code from a GitHub repository
                git 'https://github.com/mikotian/resilientchaos.git'

            }

            post {
                success {
                    echo 'Hello World'
                }
            }
        }
        stage('Run Chaos Script') {
            steps {

                sh ". /home/mithun/.venvs/chaostk/bin/activate && chaos run SimpleExperiment.json"
            }

            post {
                success {
                    echo 'Success'
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The execution looks like this:
