Running Tsung against opentaps server

This is a page to assist with running tsung against opentaps server.

Installing tsung

• Homepage http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/
• Download page http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/dist/
• Documentation http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/user_manual.html

Tsung needs the erlang platform to be installed. We will not extend over it, because rpm or deb versions just runs fine. http://www.erlang.org/

Tsung is a tool only available for linux platform under binary form. Maybe it could be runned against windows with the erlang windows version and the cygwin platform.

We used Tsung with erlang 5.6.1 The version 1.2.2 has some problem linked to xml parsing, so we prefer the version 1.2.0

You may want to modify tsung-1.2.0/src/tsung_controller/ts_os_mon.erl, depending on which platform you are running the opentaps server. The scripts which do the os monitoring (cpu, memory and network graphs) may not be convenient for your platform.

Compilation

• For debian users, just type fakeroot debian/rules binary.
• For the others a ./configure, make, make install will do it.

To run the client with the configuration file tsung.xml, just have

$ tsung -f tsung.xml start
