Load Generators¶
Phantom¶
Load generator module that uses phantom utility.
yaml file section: phantom
How it works¶
Options¶
Basic options¶
ammofile: | Ammo file path (ammo file is a file containing requests that are to be sent to a server. Could be gzipped). |
---|---|
load_profile: | Load profile behaviour. Specify load_type ( phantom:
address: [hostname]:port
load_profile:
load_type: rps #
schedule: line(1, 10, 10m) # starting from 1rps growing linearly to 10rps during 10 minutes
|

andschedule
, - by requests number with
ammo_limit
- by loop number with
loop
option.
- by load_type
Tank stops if any constraint is reached.
If stop reason is reached ammo_limit
or loop
it will be mentioned in log file.
In test without load_type rps
ammofile with requests used once by default.

Multi-tests¶
To make several simultaneous tests with phantom, add proper amount of sections to special section multi
for phantom
. All subtests are executed in parallel. Multi-test ends as soon as one subtest stops.
Example:
phantom:
address: hostname:port
load_profile:
load_type: rps
schedule: const(1,30s)
uris:
- /
autocases: 1
multi:
- address: hostname1:port1
load_profile:
load_type: rps
schedule: const(1,10s)
uris:
- /123
- /321
ssl: 1
autocases: 1
- address: hostname2:port2
load_profile:
load_type: rps
schedule: const(1,10s)
uris:
- /123
- /321
ssl: 1
autocases: 1
telegraf:
enabled: false
Options that apply only for main section:
buffered_seconds
, writelog
, phantom_modules_path
, phout_file
, config
, eta_file
, phantom_path
JMeter¶
JMeter module uses JMeter as a load generator. To enable it, disable phantom first (unless you really want to keep it active alongside at your own risk), enable JMeter plugin and then specify the parameters for JMeter:
phantom:
enabled: false
jmeter:
enabled: true
yaml file section: jmeter
Options¶
jmx: | Testplan for execution. |
---|---|
args: | Additional commandline arguments for JMeter. |
jmeter_path: | Path to JMeter, allows to use alternative JMeter installation. Default: |
buffered_seconds: | |
Amount of seconds to which delay aggregator, to be sure that everything were read from jmeter’s results file. |
|
jmeter_ver: | Which jmeter version tank should expect. Currently it affects the way connection time is logged, but may be used for other version-specific settings. Default: |
ext_log: | Available options: Default: |
all other options in the section: | |
They will be passed as User Defined Variables to JMeter. |
Timing calculation issues¶
Since version 2.13 jmeter could measure connection time, latency and full request time (aka <interval_real> in phantom), but do it in it’s own uniq way: latency include connection time but not recieve time. For the sake of consistency we recalculate <latency> as <latency - connect_time> and calculate <recieve_time> as <interval_real - latency - connect_time>>, but it does not guranteed to work perfectly in all cases (i.e. some samplers may not support latency and connect_time and you may get something strange in case of timeouts).
For jmeter 2.12 and older connection time logging not avaliable, set jmeter_ver
properly or you’ll
get an error for unknown field in Simlpe Data Writer listner added by tank.
Artifacts¶
<original jmx>: | Original testplan. |
---|---|
<modified jmx>: | Modified test plan with results output section. |
<jmeter_*.jtl>: | JMeter’s results. |
<jmeter_*.log>: | JMeter’s log. |
BFG¶
(What is BFG) BFG is a generic gun that is able to use different kinds of cannons to shoot. To enable it, disable phantom first (unless you really want to keep it active alongside at your own risk), enable BFG plugin and then specify the parameters for BFG and for the gun of your choice.
There are three predefined guns: Log Gun, Http Gun and SQL gun. First two are mostly for demo, if you want to implement your own gun class, use them as an example.
But the main purpose of BFG is to support user-defined scenarios in python. Here is how you do it using ‘ultimate’ gun.
1. Define your scenario as a python class, for example, LoadTest
(in a single-file module, for example, test
in
current working directory ./
), or a package:
import logging
log = logging.getLogger(__name__)
class LoadTest(object):
def __init__(self, gun):
# you'll be able to call gun's methods using this field:
self.gun = gun
# for example, you can get something from the 'ultimate' section of a config file:
my_var = self.gun.get_option("my_var", "hello")
def case1(self, missile):
# we use gun's measuring context to measure time.
# The results will be aggregated automatically:
with self.gun.measure("case1"):
log.info("Shoot case 1: %s", missile)
# there could be multiple steps in one scenario:
with self.gun.measure("case1_step2") as sample:
log.info("Shoot case 1, step 2: %s", missile)
# and we can set the fields of measured object manually:
sample["proto_code"] = 500
# the list of available fields is below
def case2(self, missile):
with self.gun.measure("case2"):
log.info("Shoot case 2: %s", missile)
def setup(self, param):
''' this will be executed in each worker before the test starts '''
log.info("Setting up LoadTest: %s", param)
def teardown(self):
''' this will be executed in each worker after the end of the test '''
log.info("Tearing down LoadTest")
#It's mandatory to explicitly stop worker process in teardown
os._exit(0)
return 0
- Define your options in a config file:
phantom:
enabled: false
bfg:
enabled: true
instances: 10
gun_config:
class_name: LoadTest
module_path: ./
module_name: test
init_param: Hello
gun_type: ultimate
load_profile:
load_type: rps
schedule: const(1, 30s)
3. Create an ammo file: Ammo format: one line – one request, each line begins with case name separated by tab symbol (‘t’). Case name defines the method of your test class that will be executed. The line itself will be passed to your method as ‘missile’ parameter. If there was no case name for an ammo, the ‘default’ case name will be used
case1<TAB>my-case1-ammo
case2<TAB>my-case2-ammo
my-default-case-ammo
Note
TIP: if each line is a JSON-encoded document, you can easily parse it inside your scenario code
- Shoot em all!
How it works¶
BFG Worker Type¶
By default, BFG will create lots of processes (number is defined by instances
option).
Every process will execute requests in a single thread. These processes will consume a lot of memory.
It’s also possible to switch this behavior and use gevent
to power up every worker process,
allowing it to have multiple concurrent threads executing HTTP requests.
With green worker, it’s recommended to set instances
to number of CPU cores,
and adjust the number of real threads by green_threads_per_instance
option.
worker_type: | Set it to green to let every process have multiple concurrent green threads. |
---|---|
green_threads_per_instance: | |
Number of green threads every worker process will execute. Only affects green worker type. |
BFG Options¶
yaml file section: bfg
gun_type: | What kind of gun should BFG use. |
---|---|
gun_config: | Gun configuration options |
ammo_type: | What ammo parser should BFG use. Default: |
pip: | Install python modules with |
pip=grequests
msgpack
init_param: | An initialization parameter that will be passed to your setup method. |
---|---|
other common stepper options: | |
Ultimate Gun Options¶
yaml gun_type section: ultimate
Specify gun_config
with:
module_path: | Path to your module |
---|---|
module_name: | Python module name |
class_name: | Class that contains load scenarios, default: LoadTest |
The fields of measuring context object and their default values:
send_ts: | A timestamp when context was entered. |
---|---|
tag: | A marker passed to the context. |
interval_real: | The time interval from enter to exit. If the user defines his own value, it will be preserved. Microseconds. |
connect_time: | Microseconds. Default: 0 |
send_time: | Microseconds. Default: 0 |
latency: | Microseconds. Default: 0 |
receive_time: | Microseconds. Default: 0 |
interval_event: | Microseconds. Default: 0 |
size_out: | Bytes out. Integer. Default: 0 |
size_in: | Bytes in. Integer. Default: 0 |
net_code: | Network code. Integer. Default: 0 |
proto_code: | Protocol code (http, for example). Integer. Default: 200 |
SQL Gun Options¶
SQL gun is deprecated. Use ultimate gun.
Pandora¶
Pandora is a load generator written in Go. For now it supports only SPDY/3 and HTTP(S). Plugins for other protocols (HTTP/2, Websocket, XMPP) are on the way.
First of all you’ll need to obtain a binary of pandora and place it somewhere on your machine.
By default, Yandex.Tank will try to just run pandora
(or you could specify a path to binary in pandora_cmd
).
Disable phantom first (unless you really want to keep it active alongside at your own risk), enable Pandora plugin and then specify the parameters.
# load.yaml
phantom:
enabled: false
pandora:
package: yandextank.plugins.Pandora
enabled: true
pandora_cmd: /usr/bin/pandora # Pandora executable path
config_file: pandora_config.yml # Pandora config path
# pandora_config.yml
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 path
result:
type: phout # report format (phout is compatible for Yandex.Tank)
destination: ./phout.log # report file name
rps: # RPS scheduler - controls throughput over test
type: line # linear growth load
from: 1 # from 1 responses per second
to: 5 # to 5 responses per second
duration: 2s # for 2 seconds
startup: # startup scheduler - control the level of parallelism
type: once # start 5 instances
times: 5 #
You may specify pandora config contents in tank’s config file via `config_content`
option.
This option has more priority over config_file option.
Create `ammo.uri`
file, put your ammo inside and start the test.
# ammo.uri
/my/first/url
/my/second/url
Schedules¶
`Pandora`
has two main RPS scheduler types:1.
line
- makes linear load, where`from`
and`to`
are start and end, duration is a time for linear load increase from`from`
to`to`
.const
- makes constant load, where`ops`
is a load value for`duration`
time.
Custom_guns¶
You can create you own Golang-based gun with pandora. Feel free to find examples at [pandora documentation](https://yandexpandora.readthedocs.io/en/develop/)
Artifact uploaders¶
Note
Graphite uploader and BlazeMeter Sense are not currently supported in the last Yandex.Tank version. If you want one of them, use 1.7 branch.
Yandex.Overload¶
Overload 𝛃 is a service for performance analytics made by Yandex. We will store your performance experiments results and show them in graphic and tabular form. Your data will be available at https://overload.yandex.net.
yaml file section: overload

token_file: | Place your token obtained from Overload (click your profile photo) into a file and specify the path here |
---|---|
job_name: | (Optional) Name of a job to be displayed in Yandex.Overload |
job_dsc: | (Optional) Description of a job to be displayed in Yandex.Overload |
Example:
overload:

username: | (Optional) InfluxDB user name. (Default: ‘root’) |
password: | (Optional) InfluxDB password. (Default: ‘root’) |
labeled: | (Optional) Send per-label (ammo tags) stats to influxdb. (Default: false) |
histograms: | (Optional) Send response time histograms to influxdb. (Default: false) |
prefix_measurement: | |
(Optional) Add prefix to measurement name. (Default: ‘’) | |
tank_tag: | (Optional) Tank tag. (Default: ‘unknown’) |

prefix_measurement: 'your_test_prefix_'
labeled: true
histograms: true
Handy tools¶
Auto-stop¶
The Auto-stop module gets the data from the aggregator and passes them to the criteria-objects that decide if we should stop the test.
yaml file section: autostop
Options¶
autostop: | Criteria list in following format: type(parameters) |
---|
Basic criteria types¶
time: | Stop the test if average response time is higher then allowed. Example: Exit code - 21 |
---|---|
http: | Stop the test if the count of responses in time period (specified) with HTTP codes fitting the mask is larger then the specified absolute or relative value. Examples: |
net: | Like Exit code - 23 |
quantile: | Stop the test if the specified percentile is larger then specified level for as long as the time period specified. Available percentile values: 25, 50, 75, 80, 90, 95, 98, 99, 100. Example: |
instances: | Available when phantom module is included. Stop the test if instance count is larger then specified value. Example: Exit code - 24 |
metric_lower and metric_higher: | |
Stop test if monitored metrics are lower/higher than specified for time period. Example: metric_lower(127.0.0.1,Memory_free,500,10). Exit code - 31 and 32 Note: metric names (except customs) are written with underline. For hostnames masks are allowed (i.e target-*.load.net) |
|
steady_cumulative: | |
Stops the test if cumulative percentiles does not change for specified interval. Example: Exit code - 33 |
|
limit: | Will stop test after specified period of time. Example: |
Basic criteria aren’t aggregated, they are tested for each second in specified period. For example autostop=time(50,15) means “stop if average responce time for every second in 15s interval is higher than 50ms”
Advanced criteria types¶
total_time: | Like Example: Exit code - 25 |
---|---|
total_http: | Like Example: Exit code - 26 |
total_net: | Like Example: Exit code - 27 |
negative_http: | Inversed Example: Exit code - 28 |
negative_net: | Inversed Example: Exit code - 29 |
http_trend: | Stop if trend for defined http codes is negative on defined period. Trend is a sum of an average coefficient for linear functions calculated for each pair points in last n seconds and standart deviation for it Example: http_trend(2xx,10s). Exit code - 30 |
Сriteria for specific tag¶
All criteria except limit
could be used not for all test, but for a specially tagged uri.
Example: time(1s, 5s, /latest/index/)
Stop test if average response time is higher than 1s ONLY from uri with tag /latest/index/
for 5s.
It can be used for developing specific test success criteria for each uri.
Example:
autostop:
autostop:
- http(4xx, 20%, 15s, GET /weff?id=1)
- http(4xx, 5%, 5s, POST /authorize)
Stop test if there’re more than 5% of 4xx codes for uri with tag POST /authorize
or if there’re more than 20% of 4xx codes for uri with tag GET /weff?id=1
.
Telegraf¶
Runs metrics collection through SSH connection. You can debug your SSH connection using yandex-tank-check-ssh
tool.
It is supplied with Yandex.Tank.
Credits to https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf for metric collection agent.
# load.yaml
# ...
telegraf:
enabled: true
package: yandextank.plugins.Telegraf
In https://github.com/yandex/yandex-tank/blob/master/yandextank/core/config/00-base.yaml it is already done. Please, don’t use both yandextank.plugins.Telegraf
and yandextank.plugins.Monitoring
simultaneously.
Config file section: telegraf
You can use old monitoring config format, if you specify it in monitoring section. Telegraf plugin transparently supports it. You can use new monitoring config format, if you specify it in telegraf section.
Backward compatibility logic:
Telegraf plugin automatically uploads telegraf collector binary to target from tank if exists.
Options¶
config: | Path to monitoring config file. Default: |
---|---|
default_target: | An address where from collect “default” metrics. When phantom module is used, address will be obtained from it. |
ssh_timeout: | Ssh connection timeout. Default: 5s |
disguise_hostnames: | |
Disguise real host names. Default: 0 |
Configuration¶
Net access and authentication¶
Telegraf requires ssh access to hosts for copy and executing agents/telegraf collector binaries on them. SSH session is established with user account specified by “username” parameter of Host element, otherwise current user account, so you need to copy your public keys (ssh-copy-id) and enable nonpassword authorization on hosts.
If connection establishing failed for some reason in ssh_timeout
seconds, corresponding message will be written to console and monitoring log and task will proceed further.
Tip: write to .ssh/config
next lines to eliminate -A
option in ssh
StrictHostKeyChecking no
ForwardAgent yes
Configuration file format¶
Config is an XML file with structure:
root element Monitoring
includes elements Host
which contains elements-metrics
Example:
<Monitoring>
<Host address="somehost.tld" interval="1" username="netort">
<CPU fielddrop='["time_*", "usage_guest_nice"]'></CPU>
<Kernel fielddrop='["active", "inactive", "total", "used_per*", "avail*"]'></Kernel>

- protocol - default: “tcp”. Protocol, must be “tcp” or “udp”
- address - default: “:80”. Server address and port
- timeout - default: “1s”. Set timeout
- send - default: None. Optional string sent to the server
- expect - default: None. Optional expected string in answer
- Custom
- diff - default: 0
- measure - default: call - metric value is a command or script execution output. Example: <Custom measure=”call” diff=”1” label=”Base size”>du -s /var/lib/mysql/ | awk ‘{print $1}’</Custom>
- TelegrafRaw
- raw telegraf TOML format, transparently added to final collector config
- Source
- additional source file in telegraf json format, can be used to add custom metrics that needs complex processing and do not fit into standart custom metrics (like log parsing with aggregation). Custom metrics do not include timestamps but source does. You can import async data with Source.
Config Host section example:
<Source>/path/to/file</Source>
File format:
jsonline
. Each line is a json document.Example:
{"fields":{"metric_name_1":0,"metric_name_2":98.27694231863998,},"name":"custom_group-name","timestamp":1503990965}
Console on-line screen¶
Shows usefull information in console while running the test
Config file section: console
Options¶
short_only: | Show only one-line summary instead of full-screen. Usefull for scripting. Default: 0 (disabled) |
---|---|
info_panel_width: | |
relative right-panel width in percents, Default: 33 |
|
disable_all_colors: | |
Switch off color scheme Available options: 0/1 Default: 0 |
|
disable_colors: | Don’t use specified colors in console. List with whitespaces. Example: |
Aggregator¶
The aggregator module is responsible for aggregation of data received from different kind of modules and transmitting that aggregated data to consumer modules.
ShellExec¶
The ShellExec module executes the shell-scripts (hooks) on different stages of test, for example, you could start/stop some services just before/after the test. Every hook must return 0 as an exit code or the test is terminated. Hook’s stdout will be written to DEBUG, stderr will be WARNINGs.
Example:
# load.yaml
# ...
shellexec:
start: /bin/ls -l
Note
Command quoting is not needed. That line doesn’t work: start="/bin/ls -l"
Config file section: shellexec
Options¶
prepare: | The script to run on prepare stage. |
---|---|
start: | The script to run on start stage. |
poll: | The script to run every second while the test is running. |
end: | The script to run on end stage. |
post_process: | The script to run on postprocess stage |
Resource Check¶
Module checks free memory and disk space amount before and during test. Test stops if minimum values are reached.
yaml file section: rcheck
Options¶
interval: | How often to check resources. Default interval: |
---|---|
disk_limit: | Minimum free disk space in MB. Default: |
mem_limit: | Minimum free memory amount in MB. Default: |
RC Assert¶
Module checks test’s exit code with predefined acceptable codes. If exit code matches, it is overrides as 0. Otherwise it is replaced with code from option fail_code
yaml file section: rcassert
Options¶
pass: | list of acceptable codes, delimiter - whitespace. Default: empty, no check is performed. |
---|---|
fail_code: | Exit code when check fails, integer number. Default: 10 |
