New Documentation https://yandex.github.io/pandora/

Basic configuration

Pandora supports config files in `YAML`_ format. Create a new file named load.yaml and add following lines in your favourite editor:

pools:
  - id: HTTP pool                    # pool name (for your choice)
    gun:
      type: http                     # gun type
      target: example.com:80         # gun target
    ammo:
      type: uri                      # ammo format
      file: ./ammo.uri               # ammo File
    result:
      type: phout                    # report format (phout is compatible with Yandex.Tank)
      destination: ./phout.log       # report file name

    rps:                             # shooting schedule
      type: line                     # linear growth
      from: 1                        # from 1 response per second
      to: 5                          # to 5 responses per second
      duration: 60s                  # for 60 seconds

    startup:                         # instances startup schedule
      type: once                     # start 10 instances
      times: 10

Monitoring and Logging

You can enable debug information about gun (e.g. monitoring and additional logging).

log:                                 # gun logging configuration
  level: error                       # log only `error` messages (`debug` for verbose logging)

monitoring:
  expvar:                            # gun statistics HTTP server
    enabled: true
    port: 1234
  cpuprofile:                        # cpu profiling
    enabled: true
    file: "cpuprofile.log"
  memprofile:                        # mem profiling
    enabled: true
    file: "memprofile.log"

Variables from env and files

You can use variables in the config from environment variables or from files.

The template format is ${...}.

Environment variable ${env:MY_ENV} Variable from file ${property:path/file.property#MY_FIELD}.

The contents of the file must be

MY_FIELD=data

Example config

You can use variables not only in the header section but also in other configuration fields.
