Hi Quanah,
...
Comments? Thoughts?
I'd note that SLAMD already does a lot of what you are discussing, is
open source, and is written in Java.
Yes it does! You're right. I still do have to get acquainted with it.
But note that this is just part of the problem for us. Setting up the
test harness, with comparable conditions is perhaps the most manual and
tedious part besides watching the tests chug along. So I think we
should as you suggest look into the right tool for SLAM'in the server :).
Perhaps we can break it apart and build a client side maven mojo for it.
SLAMD I'm sure has some configuration to it as well.
Yeah, it uses tomcat in particular for the server, which means some
configuration around it there, in addition to the other bits it requires.
What it doesn't do is load the
LDIF into the server. However, these are the tools that it does have:
(a) Ability to use very sophisticated templates to generate LDIF files
for loading into directory servers.
(b) Distributed clients -- You generally cannot get an idea of the
performance of an LDAP server from a single client
(c) Resource monitoring -- This monitors CPU usage, Disk usage, SWAP,
and Memory, maybe other things as well
(d) A number of pre-defined benchmarking tests as well as the ability to
create your own
(e) Report generation, including PDF and HTML
Very nice. I'll have to tinker a bit.
Thanks for your recommendations.
Sounds good... When you get to the OpenLDAP bits of cross-testing, I'd be
happy to contribute any knowledge that might be useful there as well. ;)
