Output

Krkn-AI generates various output files during the execution of chaos experiments, including scenario YAML files, graph visualizations, and log files. By default, these files follow a standard naming convention, but you can customize the file names using format strings in the configuration file.

Available Parameters

The output section in your krkn-ai.yaml configuration file allows you to customize the naming format for different output file types:

result_name_fmt

Specifies the naming format for scenario result YAML files. These files contain the complete scenario configuration and execution results for each generated scenario.

Default: "scenario_%s.yaml"

graph_name_fmt

Specifies the naming format for graph visualization files. These files contain visual representations of the health check latency and success information.

Default: "scenario_%s.png"

log_name_fmt

Specifies the naming format for log files. These files contain execution logs for each scenario run.

Default: "scenario_%s.log"

Format String Placeholders

The format strings support the following placeholders:

• %g - Generation number
• %s - Scenario ID
• %c - Scenario Name (e.g pod_scenarios)

Example

Here’s an example configuration that customizes all output file names:

output:
  result_name_fmt: "gen_%g_scenario_%s_%c.yaml"
  graph_name_fmt: "gen_%g_scenario_%s_%c.png"
  log_name_fmt: "gen_%g_scenario_%s_%c.log"

With this configuration, files will be named like:

• gen_0_scenario_1_pod_scenarios.yaml
• gen_0_scenario_1_pod_scenarios.png
• gen_0_scenario_1_pod_scenarios.log
