💖 ARCPERFTEST — ARC service performance tester 💖

okay bestie, welcome to arcperftest(1) from the NorduGrid Users Manual ✨ this is the little chaos-gremlin tool that stress-tests your ARC services and tells you how fast they're actually vibing. let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

arcperftest [ -c config ] [ -d debug ] [ -r ] url threads duration

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically arcperftest is the performance tester for an ARC service. you hand it the url of the service you're obsessed with, and it goes absolutely feral on it — firing off threads number of concurrent requests and keeping that energy going for duration seconds. it's giving "load test but make it cute" 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -c config — the file that holds your client chain XML configuration, with the 'soap' entry point plus the HOSTNAME, PORTNUMBER and PATH keyword for the hostname, the port, and the HTTP path of the 'echo' service. yes bestie, all of it, together 🧚
  • -d debuglevel — sets the debug level, and your options are exactly: FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, VERBOSE or DEBUG. pick your fighter 🔥
  • -r — if you specify this, it closes the connection and reconnects after every single request. no cap, every one. clingy behaviour but make it intentional 🙈
