Overview
Install
Command Line
brew install vegeta
For Development
go get github.com/tsenart/vegeta/v12@v12.11.1
Command Line Operations
Generate a plot with three different RPS.
Generate the HTTP request in a text file.
Then:
cat request.txt | vegeta attack -insecure -name=10RPS -rate=10 -duration=100s > results.10rps.bin
cat request.txt | vegeta attack -insecure -name=50RPS -rate=50 -duration=100s > results.50rps.bin
cat request.txt | vegeta attack -insecure -name=100RPS -rate=100 -duration=100s > results.100rps.bin
vegeta plot -title "Some Title" results.10rps.bin results.50rps.bin results.100rps.bin > plot.html
To get statistics from the bin file:
vegeta report ./results.10rps.bin
To Read Targets from File
vegeta attack -targets=<file> ...
Implementation Details
The Attack() function has a main event loop and "workers" goroutines, one per worker. The number of workers can be increased from the main event loop during an "attack" depending on what?.
Main event loop exit conditions:
- The attack duration expires.
- The
Pacer
says to stop. - The
stopch
is written to.
The "ticks" channel is a conduit for ticks, represented as struct{}
s.
What is a tick? The main event loop count
counts ticks.
Pacer
computes, via the Pace()
method, the duration an Attacker
should wait until hitting the next Target
, given an already elapsed duration and completed hits. If the second return of the Pace()
method is true
, the Attacker
should stop sending hits. Pacer
also keeps the instantaneous hit rate per second at a given elapsed time during an attack.
The main event loop Sleep(wait)
s after calling the pacer Pace()
.
