## Introduction

- It can target random pods with a Spring Boot application and allows configuring the assaults to inject network latency to every nth request. This can be tuned via `CM_LEVEL` ENV.

## Prerequisites

??? info "Verify the prerequisites" 
    <ul>
        <li> Ensure that Kubernetes Version > 1.16 </li>
        <li>Ensure that the Litmus Chaos Operator is running by executing <code>kubectl get pods</code> in operator namespace (typically, <code>litmus</code>).If not, install from <a href="https://v1-docs.litmuschaos.io/docs/getstarted/#install-litmus">here</a> </li>
        <li> Ensure that the <code> spring-boot-latency </code> experiment resource is available in the cluster by executing <code>kubectl get chaosexperiments</code> in the desired namespace. If not, install from <a href="https://hub.litmuschaos.io/api/chaos/master?file=faults/spring-boot/spring-boot-latency/fault.yaml">here</a></li>
        <li>Chaos Monkey Spring Boot dependency should be present in application. It can be enabled by two ways:
          <ol>
            <li>Add internal dependency inside the spring boot application
                <ol>
                    <li>Add Chaos Monkey for Spring Boot as dependency for your project
                        ```maven
                        <dependency>
                            <groupId>de.codecentric</groupId>
                            <artifactId>chaos-monkey-spring-boot</artifactId>
                            <version>2.6.1</version>
                        </dependency>
                        ```
                    </li>
                    <li> Start your Spring Boot App with the chaos-monkey spring profile enabled
                        ```bash
                        java -jar your-app.jar --spring.profiles.active=chaos-monkey --chaos.monkey.enabled=true
                        ```
                    </li>
                </ol> 
            </li>
            <li> Add as external dependency
                <ol>
                    <li>You can extend your existing application with the chaos-monkey and add it as an external dependency at startup, for this it is necessary to use the PropertiesLauncher of Spring Boot
                        ```maven
                        <dependency>
                            <groupId>de.codecentric</groupId>
                            <artifactId>chaos-monkey-spring-boot</artifactId>
                            <classifier>jar-with-dependencies</classifier>
                            <version>2.6.1</version>
                        </dependency>
                        ```
                    </li>
                    <li>Start your Spring Boot application, add Chaos Monkey for Spring Boot JAR and properties
                        ```bash
                        java -cp your-app.jar -Dloader.path=chaos-monkey-spring-boot-2.6.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar org.springframework.boot.loader.PropertiesLauncher --spring.profiles.active=chaos-monkey --spring.config.location=file:./chaos-monkey.properties
                        ```
                    </li>
                </ol>
            </li>
          </ol>
        </li>
    </ul>

    - Spring boot pods are healthy before and after chaos injection

## Minimal RBAC configuration example (optional)

!!! tip "NOTE"   
    If you are using this experiment as part of a litmus workflow scheduled constructed & executed from chaos-center, then you may be making use of the [litmus-admin](https://litmuschaos.github.io/litmus/litmus-admin-rbac.yaml) RBAC, which is pre-installed in the cluster as part of the agent setup.

## Experiment Examples

### Common Experiment Tunables

Refer the [common attributes](../common/common-tunables-for-all-experiments.md) and  [Spring Boot specific tunable](spring-boot-experiments-tunables.md) to tune the common tunables for all experiments and spring-boot specific tunables.

### Spring Boot Application Port

It tunes the spring-boot application port via `CM_PORT` ENV

Use the following example to tune this:

[embedmd]:# (./spring-boot-latency/target-port.yaml yaml)
```yaml
# kill spring-boot target application
apiVersion: litmuschaos.io/v1alpha1
kind: ChaosEngine
metadata:
  name: spring-boot-chaos
  namespace: default
spec:
  appinfo:
    appns: 'default'
    applabel: 'app=spring-boot'
    appkind: 'deployment'
  # It can be active/stop
  engineState: 'active'
  chaosServiceAccount: spring-boot-latency-sa
  experiments:
    - name: spring-boot-latency
      spec:
        components:
          env:
            # port of the spring boot application
            - name: CM_PORT
              value: '8080'

```

### Network Latency

It contains network latency value in ms. It can be tunes via `LATENCY` ENV

Use the following example to tune this:

[embedmd]:# (./spring-boot-latency/latency.yaml yaml)
```yaml
# provide the network latency
apiVersion: litmuschaos.io/v1alpha1
kind: ChaosEngine
metadata:
  name: spring-boot-chaos
  namespace: default
spec:
  appinfo:
    appns: 'default'
    applabel: 'app=spring-boot'
    appkind: 'deployment'
  # It can be active/stop
  engineState: 'active'
  chaosServiceAccount: spring-boot-latency-sa
  experiments:
    - name: spring-boot-latency
      spec:
        components:
          env:
            # provide the latency (ms)
            - name: LATENCY
              value: '2000'

            # port of the spring boot application
            - name: CM_PORT
              value: '8080'
```
