Mikhail ChusavitinandClaude Sonnet 5 5a780e96b4 platform/app/webui: ship the power-watch scenario baked into the image
platform.LocalScenariosDir (/usr/share/bee/scenarios, populated from
iso/overlay/usr/share/bee/scenarios/ by build.sh's overlay rsync) is now
checked before removable media for both `bee run <name>` and the "6.
Scenario" page — a scenario shipped with the image works with no USB
stick required. ReadScenario/ListAvailableScenarios merge local + USB;
the removable-media-only functions from the previous commit are kept
as-is (still used directly where that's actually what's wanted) rather
than renamed out from under existing callers/tests.

iso/overlay/usr/share/bee/scenarios/nvbandwidth-all-gpu-power-watch.json
is a copy of scenarios/nvbandwidth-all-gpu-power-watch.json — the two
aren't auto-synced (documented in scenarios/README.md), so shipping a
scenario baked-in means checking it into both places.

bee test scenarios

A scenario is a plain JSON file describing an ad-hoc diagnostic run: which commands to execute (sequentially or in parallel) and what to sample in the background while they run — without hardcoding a new test into bee's own code. See audit/internal/platform/scenario.go (ParseScenarioJSON, ScenarioSpec) for the full field reference.

Running one

bee run <path-to-file.json>

or, for a bare name (no /, no .json):

bee run <name>

which resolves scenarios/<name>.json by checking, in order: (1) the scenarios shipped with the image itself — always available, no media needed — then (2) any mounted removable drive (e.g. the same USB stick already plugged in for blackbox), for scenarios authored on another machine and dropped there without a network path onto the host. Same resolution powers the "6. Scenario" page in the web UI.

bee scenario run <arg> is the same command under a longer name.

Files checked in here

  • nvbandwidth-all-gpu-power-watch.json — the scenario that reproduced the CG480-S6053 reboot: full nvbandwidth across all GPUs at once (the per-GPU-socket passes alone never reproduced it), with ipmitool sensor and nvidia-smi power/temp sampled every 2s in the background so a crash mid-run still leaves telemetry to check for a power-delivery correlation. gpu_indices is host-specific — update it to match the GPU indices nvidia-smi -L actually reports on the box under test before running.

This directory is the source of truth; iso/builder/build.sh's "preparing staged overlay" step rsyncs the whole overlay tree — including a checked-in copy under iso/overlay/usr/share/bee/scenarios/ — into the built image, so anything meant to ship baked-in needs to exist in both places (this repo doesn't auto-copy one into the other). platform.LocalScenariosDir (/usr/share/bee/scenarios on the built host) is what bee run <name>/the web UI actually reads at runtime.

Adding more

Not every scenario needs to ship in the image. For a one-off test on a specific host (especially air-gapped), it's simpler to write the JSON file directly onto the blackbox USB stick under scenarios/<name>.json and run bee run <name> — no code change, no rebuild. Check a scenario into iso/overlay/usr/share/bee/scenarios/ only when it's worth keeping around as a reusable/named test that should be available on every host without a USB stick.
