== Using Flood and the flood.toml File == | == Using Flood and the flood.toml File == | ||
* | * Flood is a basic testing tool for exercising various protocols, message types, and errors. It is not really a load test tool, although several can be run in parallel on the same server to "stress" heka a bit. | ||
* Heka comes with the flood tool and a basic flood.toml file as part of the github and RPM install. | |||
* Very basic usage | |||
Put flood into your path, then | |||
$ flood -help | |||
to see usage information | |||
Run flood by specifying its toml file and a test name | |||
Note: All the predefined tests are listed in the toml file. | |||
Note: Also, multiple instances of flood can be run | |||
with the same toml file and test | |||
with the same toml file and a different test | |||
with different toml files and tests | |||
Verify the method for stopping tests - do they have a set run time or do you need to kill the process? | |||
