NAME

       tsung - A distributed multi-protocol load testing tool.


SYNOPSIS

       tsung [ -f configuration file ]  [ -l log dir ]  [ -m filename ]  [ -r
       command ]  [ -X directory ]  [ -w delay ]  [ -L lifetime ]  [ -s ]  [
       -n ]  [ -k ]  [ -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)


MANUAL

       A manual should be available at /usr/share/doc/tsung/user_manual.html.
       It is also available online at

OPTIONS

       -f filename
              specifies the configuration file to use. The default file name
              is ~/.tsung/tsung.xml. Use - for standard input

       -l logdir
              Specifies the log directory to use. The default log dir name is

       -m monitoring_file
              Specifies the monitoring log file name to use. The default log
              file name is tsung.log. Use - for standard output

       -r command
              Specifies an alternative to ssh (rsh for ex.) for starting a
              slave node on a remote host

       -i id  set controller id (default is empty). Needed to start several
              controllers on the same host.

       -F     Use long names for erlang nodes (FQDN)

       -s     Enable erlang smp on client nodes

       -p     set maximum erlang processes per vm (default is 250000)

       -X directory
              add additional erlang load paths (multiple -X arguments allowed)

       -L lifetime
              SSL session lifetime in seconds (600 sec by default)

       -w delay
              warmup delay in seconds (1 sec by default)

       -v     Show version

       -n     disable web GUI

       -k     keep web GUI (and controller) alive after the test has finished

       -6     Use IPv6 for tsung internal communications

       -h     Show usage
