Executing Janitor Monkey

[Maanav M]

I'm having some trouble setting up Janitor Monkey and any help / pointers in getting it up and running would be appreciated

 

I have been following the steps described at https://github.com/Netflix/SimianArmy/wiki/Quick-Start-Guide but when I run ./gradlew jettyRun it tries to start Chaos Monkey first and then I see a message on the console that is along the following lines -

 

INFO  MonkeyRunner - [MonkeyRunner.java:56] Starting CHAOS Monkey unavailable Status Code: 400, AWS Service: AmazonSimpleDB, AWS Request ID: xxxx-xxx-xxx-xx-xxx, AWS Error Code: NoSuchDomain, AWS Error Message: The specified domain does not exist. at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient.handleErrorResponse(AmazonHttpClient.java:614)

However when I run sdb ListDomains, the SIMIAN_ARMY domain appears to exist. I get the same message on each execution but at the end I also see a message that states simian army is running at http://localhost:8080/simianarmy. I'm not sure if the message is expected and can be ignored and how can I view the results of the Janitor Monkey run (if it has run successfully in the first place). Do I need to fix anything or execute anything else on my side.

 

Also I'd like to execute only JanitorMonkey and would like to disable the other simians completely. Is it possible to setup, configure and execute Janitor Monkey in isolation. It would be great if you could point me to the relevant documents.

 

Thanks!

Maanav,

The error message just shows that the SimpleDB domain cannot be found. Did you use the same credentials in the simian army settings and when you run sdb ListDomains? You should not see this message if everything is set up correctly.

You can certainly disable other monkeys if you don't need them. For example, you can disable Chaos Monkey by setting in simianarmy.chaos.enabled = false chaos.properties. More details about configuring the monkeys can be found at https://github.com/Netflix/SimianArmy/wiki/Configuration.

Please let me know if you still see issues.

Thanks,

Michael
