💅 TALER-AGGREGATOR-BENCHMARK(1) — the GNU Taler glow-up guide ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the GNU Taler corner of the manual, page TALER-AGGREGATOR-BENCHMARK(1). this one's a whole vibe and she's lowkey iconic, so let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

taler-aggregator-benchmark — literally just generates a database so you can measure aggregator performance. that's her whole thing. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

taler-aggregator-benchmark
[-c CONFIG_FILENAME | --config=CONFIG_FILENAME] [-d DN | --deposits=DN]
[-h | --help] [-L LOGLEVEL | --log-level=LOGLEVEL]
[-l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME] [-m DM | --merchants=DM]
[-r RATE | --refunds=RATE] [-v | --version]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

taler-aggregator-benchmark is a command-line tool that fills an exchange database with records suitable for benchmarking the taler-exchange-aggregator. think of her as the stage crew — she sets everything up so the main character can perform 👑

and like, key detail bestie: she does not run the actual workload for the benchmark (which usually consists of starting multiple taler-exchange-aggregator processes). she only prepares the database with synthetic work. prep queen only, no performing 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -c CONFIG_FILENAME, --config=CONFIG_FILENAME — mandatory (yes, like actually required, don't skip her). use CONFIG_FILENAME as the name for the configuration file.
  • -d DN, --deposits=DN — how many deposits should be instantiated per merchant. defaults to 1.
  • -h, --help — prints a compiled-in help text. cute little built-in cheat sheet ✨
  • -L LOGLEVEL, --log-level=LOGLEVEL — specifies the log level to use. accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR.
  • -l FILENAME, --logfile=FILENAME — send logging output to FILENAME.
  • -m DM, --merchants=DM — how many different merchants should we create. defaults to 1.
  • -r RATE, --refunds=RATE — probability of a deposit having a refund (as an integer between 0-100).
  • -v, --version — print version information. slay.
