DESCRIPTION¶
tsung is a distributed load testing tool. It is protocol-independent and
can currently be used to stress and benchmark HTTP, WebDAV, LDAP, PostgreSQL,
MySQL and Jabber/XMPP servers.
It simulates user behaviour using an XML description file, reports many
measurements in real time (statistics can be customized with transactions, and
graphics generated using gnuplot).
For HTTP, it supports 1.0 and 1.1, has a proxy mode to record sessions, supports
GET and POST methods, Cookies, and Basic WWW-authentication. It also has
support for SSL.
Several config examples can be found in
/usr/share/doc/tsung/examples/.
- start
- start tsung load testing
- debug
- start tsung with an interactive erlang shell
- stop
- stop tsung
- status
- print current status of a running instance of tsung (must be run on the
controller host)
