+## P01 - Performance Management Configuration
+
+### Test Objective
+
+To demonstrate the ability to configure performance management using the `simulated-olt`.
+
+- Demonstrate the ability to change the frequency with which the stats are sampled and posted to kafka
+- Demonstrate the ability to selectively disable and enable specific stats
+- Demonstrate how the stats can be queried.
+
+### Test Configuration
+
+- The Voltha enseble is running per the deployment instructions.
+
+### Test procedure
+
+Start the voltha cli and add the simulated OLT.
+```
+ ./cli/main.py -L
+         _ _   _            ___ _    ___
+__ _____| | |_| |_  __ _   / __| |  |_ _|

+(to exit type quit or hit Ctrl-D)
+(voltha)
+```
+Ensure that voltha is operating correctly:
+```
+health
+{
+    "state": "HEALTHY"
+}
+(voltha)
+```
+
+Preprovision and enable the simulated OLT
+
+```
+(voltha) preprovision_olt
+success (device id = eecd8f5327bc)
+(voltha) enable
+enabling eecd8f5327bc
+waiting for device to be enabled...
+success (logical device id = 1)
+(voltha)
+```
+
+The device Id will be different from the device id shown above.
+
+In a different window, verify that the simulated stats are now being posted to the Kafak bus. First determine the port hosting the kafka broker:
+```
+docker inspect compose_kafka_1 | jq -r '.[0].NetworkSettings.Ports["9092/tcp"][0]["HostPort"]'
+```
+
+```
+32778
+```
+
+Using this port, query the kafka broker for topics
+
+```
+kafkacat -b localhost:32778 -L
+Metadata for all topics (from broker -1: localhost:32778/bootstrap):
+ 1 brokers:
+  broker 1001 at 10.0.2.15:32778
+ 5 topics:
+  topic "voltha.alarms" with 1 partitions:
+    partition 0, leader 1001, replicas: 1001, isrs: 1001
+  topic "voltha.kpis" with 1 partitions:
+    partition 0, leader 1001, replicas: 1001, isrs: 1001
+  topic "voltha.events" with 1 partitions:
+    partition 0, leader 1001, replicas: 1001, isrs: 1001
+  topic "voltha.heartbeat" with 1 partitions:
+    partition 0, leader 1001, replicas: 1001, isrs: 1001
+```
+
+The topic of interest for this test is the voltha.kpis topic. So now query the topic to ensure that the simulated OLT is generating stats.
+```
+kafkacat -b localhost:32778 -C -o -1 -c 1 -t voltha.kpis | jq '.prefixes'

+}
+```
+Once the generation of simulated statistics has been confirmed we validate how often the stats are being posted to kafka prior to the next step which is to change the frequency with which the stats are bing sampled. The following command will establish the sampling interval.
+
+```
+avg=0;last=0;for i in `kafkacat -b localhost:32778 -C -o -10 -c 10 -t voltha.kpis | grep 'simulated_olt' | jq -r '.ts'`; do if [ $last -eq 0 ]; then last=$i; else if [ $avg -eq 0 ]; then avg=`expr $i - $last`; else avg=`expr \( $avg + $i - $last \) \/ 2`; fi; last=$i; fi; done; echo $avg; unset avg; unset last
+```
+```
+15
+```
+The default set by the simulated OLT is to pretend to sample metrics every 15 seconds and publish them to kafka. This can be changed by using the performance monitoring configuration functionality. Swithch back to the window running the voltha cli and enter device command mode for the simulated OLT.

+
+Now after waiting 30 seconds or so to ensure we don't average in any older sampling intervals let's go back to a linux window and check and see how often the metrics are being sampled.
+

+```
+

+voltha$
+```
+
+The change has taken effect and the metrics are now being sampled every 5 seconds. Now lets show how certain metrics can be disabled from the kafka output. Lets say that we no longer want to see any jumbo frame counters. Go back to the voltha cli window and get the help for the `perf_config` command again. Looking at the command using set with the -d options disables metrics and using the set command with -e options enables metrics. To disable both rx and tx metrics for 1519_9k issue the following command in the voltha cli.
+
+```
+(device eecd8f5327bc) perf_config set -d rx_1519_9k -d tx_1519_9k
