Configuration

Config File (config.cfg)

Each project contains a config.cfg file where test settings are defined.

The config file contains a [global] section and [user_group-*] sections.

Minimal Configuration

Here is a sample config.cfg file showing minimal options, defining 1 group of virtual users:

[global]
run_time = 100
rampup = 100
results_ts_interval = 10

[user_group-1]
threads = 10
script = vu_script.py

Full Configuration

Here is a sample config.cfg file showing all possible options, defining 2 groups of virtual users:

[global]
run_time = 300
rampup = 300
results_ts_interval = 30
progress_bar = on
console_logging = off
xml_report = off
results_database = sqlite:///my_project/results.db
post_run_script = python my_project/foo.py

[user_group-1]
threads = 30
script = vu_script1.py

[user_group-2]
threads = 30
script = vu_script2.py
