The MZBench CLI lets you control the server and benchmarks from the command line. It utilizes the MZBench API, but goes beyond it: it can do things even without a running MZBench server.
The commands are invoked by the mzbench
script in the bin
directory:
# Inside the MZBench directory:
$ ./bin/mzbench start --env foo=bar --nodes=5
# or:
$ cd bin
$ ./mzbench start --env foo=bar --nodes=5
$ ./bin/mzbench start_server
Executing make -C /path/to/mzbench/bin/../server generate
...
Start the MZBench server.
Optional params:
--config <config_file>
: Path to the server config file.
$ ./bin/mzbench stop_server
Executing make -C /path/to/mzbench/bin/../server generate
...
Stop the MZBench server.
$ ./bin/mzbench restart_server
Executing make -C /path/to/mzbench/bin/../server generate
...
Restart the MZBench server, i.e. stop + start.
Optional params:
--config <config_file>
: Path to the server config file.
$ mzbench start --env foo=bar --nodes=5 foo.bdl
{
"status": "pending",
"id": 86
