At this point you would usually run a chaos experiment to produce a report, but for this tutorial we're only interested in the final step of the discover->init->run->report workflow in Chaos Tool,it so instead we'll create a representative output from the chaos run command that you can then use to report on.

The contents of the output from the chaos run command will be the following. Copy this into the chaos-report.json file so you can then use it:

You can grab this chaos-report.json file using the following curl command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chaostoolkit/chaostoolkit-tutorials/master/01-chaostoolkit-getting-started/report/assets/chaos-report.json > chaos-report.json

Now that you have the raw experimental output that would normally be produced by the chaos run command, you can take this and produce a report in a given format by executing the following:

chaos report --export-format=html5 chaos-report.json report.html

This will produce a .html format version of the report. The --export-format option selects the output that you want, the next parameter is the source, raw report file that came from chaos run, and the final parameter is the filename of the report that you would like to product.

Optionally, to produce a great-looking pdf export you can execute the following:

chaos report --export-format=pdf chaos-report.json report.pdf
