Important notes
===============
projects integrated the features to the OPNFV platform and the OPNFV
infra/testing projects verified the functionalities in the OPNFV Labs.
-This document provides an overview of the Doctor project in the OPNFV Danube
-release, including new features, known issues and documentation updates.
+For Euphrates release, the Doctor project focused primarily on extending to
+network state and refactoring testing code by python.
New features
============
-For Danube release, the Doctor project focused primarily on enhancing the
-testing tools, enabling additional test scenarios, and support and verification
-on a wider range of OPNFV installers.
-
-* **Performance profiler PoC**
-
- The performance profiler is designed to get timestamp in each checkpoint of
- components for further analysis. In Danube, initial PoC implementation of the
- perfomance profiler has been added to the Doctor testing tools
- by contribution from the `QTIP`_ team. The tools can now show how long it
- takes for each component in a series of processes for fault notification.
- Some checkpoints are not covered yet though. To activate this, set the
- PROFILER_TYPE="poc" before running the main script ("tests/run.sh").
- See `DOCTOR-72`_ for more details.
+Doctor now supports network state handling where VIM tells you the actual data
+plane port state, utilizing the new feature called `port-dp-status`_ developed
+in OpenStack Neutron as the result of our upstreaming efforts.
-* **Testing with multiple tenant VMs**
-
- The Doctor testing tools now supports new testing scenario where multiple
- tenant VMs in the system under test can be created (`DOCTOR-77`_).
- This allows to measure fault notification time/cost with stressed VIM
- controllers, in order to see perfomance trends.

Installer support and verification status
=========================================
Integrated features
-------------------
-Minimal Doctor functionality of VIM is available in the OPNFV platform from
-the Brahmaputra release. The basic Doctor framework in VIM consists of a
-Controller (Nova) and a Notifier (Ceilometer+Aodh) along with a sample
-Inspector and Monitor developed by the Doctor team.
+The testing code for doctor test cases are enhanced by refactoring in python,
+and supporting collectd monitor.
-From the Danube release, key integrated feature is:
+The python refactoring improves readability and maintainability of the testing
+code in the Doctor repository. This would help Doctor developers as well as
+engineers who are referring OPNFV.
-* **Congress as Doctor Inspector**
+From the Euphrates release, key integrated feature is:
- Congress Inspector is now verified with latest vanilla OpenStack without
- backporting any patch, like the one we had backported for adding Doctor
- driver of Congress in Colorado.
+* **collectd as Doctor Monitor**
+
+ This is experimental, as CI job is not enabled yet. But, you can see and test
+ with collectd integrated in Doctor reference architecture.
OPNFV installer support matrix
------------------------------
+(TBC)
+
In the Brahmaputra release, only one installer (Apex) supported the deployment
-of the basic Doctor framework by configuring Doctor features. In the Danube
+of the basic Doctor framework by configuring Doctor features. In the Euphrates
release, integration of Doctor features progressed in other OPNFV installers.

Documentation updates
=====================
-* **Configuration manual for Congress**
+* **maintenance detailed spec**
- Steps to configure Congress as Doctor Inspector have been added
- to Doctor configuration manual (`DOCTOR-85`_).
+ The maintenance design document was filed, including suggestions how to
+ leverage features in OpenStack while developing automated maintenance
+ capability.
-* **Alarm comparison**
-
- As part of the review between Doctor Danube (OpenStack Newton) and ETSI NFV
- IFA, the alarm comparison table has been updated (`DOCTOR-82`_).
-
-* **OpenStack mechanisms for fencing**
-
- The section on fencing in the requirement document has been updated with more
- details of Nova and Neutron (`REVIEW#27049`_).
-
-* **How to test**
-
- Two ways to run the Doctor testing tools have been added
- (`REVIEW#28223`_).
-
-You can also find other minor updates in `DOCTOR-81`_.

Known issues
============
-* Doctor testing scenario is not verified with non-admin user (`DOCTOR-80`_).
-
-* Congress Nova driver is relying on deprecated Nova APIs and can lead to
- an error (`BUG#1670345`_). The workaround for this issue is to specify nova
- micro version to 2.34 . Apex is using this workaround for OpenStack Newton
- (`REVIEW#29463`_).

+* Testing code for `port-data-plane-status` in Doctor repository was disabled

+Important notes
+===============
+
+OPNFV Doctor project started as a requirement project and identified gaps
+between "as-is" open source software (OSS) and an "ideal" platform for NFV.
+Based on this analysis, the Doctor project proposed missing features to
+upstream OSS projects. After those features were implemented, OPNFV installer
+projects integrated the features to the OPNFV platform and the OPNFV
+infra/testing projects verified the functionalities in the OPNFV Labs.
+
+This document provides an overview of the Doctor project in the OPNFV Danube
+release, including new features, known issues and documentation updates.
