NAME

       tsung - A distributed multi-protocol load testing tool.

SYNOPSIS

       tsung  [  -f configuration file ]  [ -l log dir ]  [ -m filename ]  [ -r command ]  [ -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)
