Server Benchmarking: What tools to use with my real-world test data
- by mdemmitt
I want to benchmark a new server using historical HTTP-request data. I have a textfile that contains one day's worth of real historical requests to a production server. What is the best tool for sending that list of requests on the server I'm testing? The tool I use should be able to configure the following:
Number of threads making the requests
Number of requests/second sent
A list of request URLs to use when making the requests.
Apache Bench seems like a close fit. However, Bench does not seem to be able to take in a list of request URLs as a parameter. What would you recommend?
