+The Dashboard
+`````````````
+
+Performance dashboard tables provide the latest VPP throughput trend, trend
+compliance and detected anomalies, all on a per VPP test case basis.
+The Dashboard is generated as three tables for 1t1c, 2t2c and 4t4c MRR tests.
+
+At first, the .csv tables are generated (only the table for 1t1c is shown):
+
+::
+
+ -
+ type: "table"
+ title: "Performance trending dashboard"
+ algorithm: "table_performance_trending_dashboard"
+ output-file-ext: ".csv"
+ output-file: "{DIR[STATIC,VPP]}/performance-trending-dashboard-1t1c"
+ data: "plot-performance-trending-all"
+ filter: "'MRR' and '1T1C'"
+ parameters:
+ - "name"
+ - "parent"
+ - "result"
+ ignore-list:
+ - "tests.vpp.perf.l2.10ge2p1x520-eth-l2bdscale1mmaclrn-mrr.tc01-64b-1t1c-eth-l2bdscale1mmaclrn-ndrdisc"
+ outlier-const: 1.5
+ window: 14
+ evaluated-window: 14
+ long-trend-window: 180
+
+Then, html tables stored inside .rst files are generated:
+
+::
+
+ -
+ type: "table"
+ title: "HTML performance trending dashboard 1t1c"
+ algorithm: "table_performance_trending_dashboard_html"
+ input-file: "{DIR[STATIC,VPP]}/performance-trending-dashboard-1t1c.csv"
+ output-file: "{DIR[STATIC,VPP]}/performance-trending-dashboard-1t1c.rst"

+Root Cause Analysis
+-------------------
+
+Root Cause Analysis (RCA) by analysing archived performance results – re-analyse
+available data for specified:
+
+ - range of jobs builds,
+ - set of specific tests and
+ - PASS/FAIL criteria to detect performance change.
+
+In addition, PAL generates trending plots to show performance over the specified
+time interval.
+
+Root Cause Analysis - Option 1: Analysing Archived VPP Results
+``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
+
+It can be used to speed-up the process, or when the existing data is sufficient.
+In this case, PAL uses existing data saved in Nexus, searches for performance
+degradations and generates plots to show performance over the specified time
+interval for the selected tests.
+
+Execution Sequence
+''''''''''''''''''
+
+ #. Download and parse archived historical data and the new data.
+ #. Calculate trend metrics.
+ #. Find regression / progression.
+ #. Generate and publish results:
+
+ #. Summary graphs to include measured values with Progression and
+ Regression markers.
+ #. List the DUT build(s) where the anomalies were detected.
