PROGRAM:

NAME

tsung - A distributed multi-protocol load testing tool.

SYNOPSIS

tsung [ -f configuration file ] [ -l log dir ] [ -m filename ] [ -r command ] [ -v ]
[ -6 ] [ -h ] [ start|stop|debug|status ]

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)
