SYNOPSIS

influx_stress [options]

DESCRIPTION

Runs write and query stress tests against one or multiple InfluxDB servers to create reproducible performance benchmarks against InfluxDB.

OPTIONS

-addr <addr>

IP address and port of the database where response times will persist. This is not for specifying which database to test against. That option is located inside of the configuration file. The default is http://localhost:8086.

-database <name>

The database where response times will persist. This is not for specifying which database to test against. See -db or the configuration file for that option. The default is stress.

-retention-policy <name>

The retention policy where response times will persist. This is not for specifying which retention policy to test against. See the configuration file for that option. The default is an empty string which will use the default retention policy.

-config <path>

The stress configuration file.

-cpuprofile <path>
