| == 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? | |||
