🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so calcappclient is a Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) pool user (PU) for the CalcApp performance testing service. she's a PU, she pools, she tests performance. iconic behavior honestly.

and if you wanna go full nerd mode on the underlying protocol (no judgment, I love that for you), the detailed description lives here:

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

these are the options available, bestie. read them all, don't skip, I will know. 👀

• -poolhandle=pool_handle — sets the PH to a non-default value. if you don't, the default is "CalcAppPool". she has a government name and it's CalcAppPool.

✨ Service Parameters ✨

• -jobinterval=seconds — sets the job interval in seconds. floating-point values are possible, like 30.125. yes, decimals, she's precise.
• -jobsize=calculations — sets the job size in calculations.
• -keepalivetransmissioninterval=milliseconds — sets the session keep-alive interval in milliseconds. keep her alive, she's thriving.
• -keepalivetimeoutinterval=milliseconds — sets the session keep-alive timeout in milliseconds.
• -object=name — sets the object name for scalar hierarchy.
• -runtime=seconds — after the configured number of seconds, the service is shut down. floating-point values are possible, e.g. 30.125. she sets a bedtime and she means it.
• -scalar=scalar_file — sets the name of vector scalar file to write.
• -vector=vector_file — sets the name of vector output file to write.

🛰️ ASAP Protocol Parameters 🛰️

• -registrar=address:port — adds a static PR entry into the Registrar Table. you can add multiple entries, so go off, add as many as you want 🫶
• -registrarannouncetimeout=milliseconds — sets the timeout for ASAP announces via multicast.
• -registrarconnecttimeout=milliseconds — sets the timeout for ASAP connection establishment.
• -registrarconnectmaxtrials=trials — sets the max number of ASAP connection establishment trials.
• -registrarrequesttimeout=milliseconds — sets the timeout for ASAP requests.
• -registrarresponsetimeout=milliseconds — sets the timeout for waiting to receive ASAP responses.
• -registrarrequestmaxtrials=trials — sets the max number of ASAP request trials.

💅 Component Status Protocol (CSP) Parameters 💅

• -cspinterval=milliseconds — sets the interval for the CSP status updates, in milliseconds. by default, the content of the environment variable CSP_INTERVAL is used. if that's not defined, no CSP status reports will be sent at all. ghosting, but make it protocol.
• -cspserver=address:port — sets the address of a CSP monitor server. by default, the content of the environment variable CSP_SERVER is used. if that's not defined, no CSP status reports will be sent. same energy, same consequence.

📝 Logging Parameters 📝

• -logappend=filename — write logging output to a file (default is stdout); the output will be appended to the given file. she's adding to the lore, not starting over.
• -logcolor=on|off — turns ANSI colorization of the logging output on or off. aesthetic toggles, we love to see it.
• -logfile=filename — write logging output to a file (default is stdout); the given file will be overwritten. bestie. BESTIE. it will overwrite. guard your files.
• -loglevel=0-9 — sets the logging verbosity from 0 (none) to 9 (very verbose). highly recommend using at least a value of 2, so you actually see the possibly important error messages and warnings. don't rawdog it at 0 and then act surprised, I'm begging.

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

calcappclient uses the environment variables CSP_SERVER and CSP_INTERVAL to define a CSP server to send reports to, in the specified interval. so those two little guys are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

---

🩺 DIAGNOSTICS 🩺

if loglevel>0, log messages will be printed to stdout or into a specified log file. that's your sign to actually read them.
