MailStone 4.15: Changes to Mailstone since version 4.1
|
||||
|
||||
* Setup now checks license acceptance and configures a basic
|
||||
setup. By default, it will also create a user LDIF file with a
|
||||
'allusers' account.
|
||||
|
||||
* All parameters and and testbed information may now be specified
|
||||
in the workload files (*.wld). New sections: CONFIG, CLIENT,
|
||||
MONITOR, PRETEST, and POSTTEST. Command line parameters still
|
||||
override the files. A complete copy of the configuration is saved
|
||||
in results/<TIMESTAMP>/all.wld.
|
||||
|
||||
* The '*.pl', '*.tbd', and 'config*' files in ./conf/ are
|
||||
depreciated. These should still work, but the new sections are
|
||||
simpler and more flexible.
|
||||
|
||||
* Any CONFIG parameter can now be specified on the command line
|
||||
using the form: 'PARAMETER=value'. Note that PARAMETER is case
|
||||
insensitive. No whitespace is allowed before or after the '='.
|
||||
|
||||
* The new switch '-l' or CONFIG parameter 'ClientCount' can now
|
||||
specify the total number of clients. The 'MaxClients' and
|
||||
'MaxThreads' parameters in each CLIENT section control load
|
||||
balancing. If the 'processes' and 'threads' parameters are set,
|
||||
then the load for that CLIENT section will not be adjusted, but
|
||||
will be taken into account when calculating other CLIENT sections.
|
||||
If just 'processes' is set, then only the thread count will be
|
||||
adjusted. All hosts in a CLIENT section will run the same number
|
||||
of processes and threads.
|
||||
|
||||
* bin/makeusers.pl now creates users, broadcast account, etc.
|
||||
Numbered passwords are now suppored. The new user/password format
|
||||
now replaces '%ld' with the user number to match the rest of
|
||||
mailstone. The ldif/ directory is obsolete. Run "perl/bin/perl
|
||||
bin/makeusers.pl -h" for usage.
|
||||
|
||||
* NT client machines may now be used from a Unix test master. See
|
||||
conf/sample.wld for configuration details.
|
||||
|
||||
* Commands can now be run for a specified block count, error
|
||||
count, or time (whichever comes first). Set 'maxBlocks' and/or
|
||||
'maxErrors'.
|
||||
|
||||
* Telemetry logging to /var/tmp/mstone-log.pn.tn is now performed
|
||||
when "telemetry 1" is specified.
|
||||
|
||||
* The name used in the "CLIENT" section is now used to match
|
||||
"HOSTS=..." qualifier. Compatibility with "hostname" is no longer
|
||||
needed.
|
||||
|
||||
* Config values can now use quoted characters such as \n, \r, \t
|
||||
|
||||
* Config values can be continued using \ (backslash)
|
||||
|
||||
* System configuration information (SYSCONFIG) can now be
|
||||
specified entirely within a workload file by quoting the newlines.
|
||||
|
||||
* Config values get enclosing double-quotes stripped
|
||||
|
||||
* Preliminary support for HTTP and WMAP (WebMail) testing.
|
||||
|
||||
* New table formats are easier to interpret and allow more protocols.
|
||||
|
||||
* The new text format report is easier to machine processes.
|
||||
|
||||
* The following command line switches are now obsolete: -f, -g,
|
||||
-e, -p, and -l. The same functionality can be obtained by
|
||||
FREQUENCY=<interval>, GNUPLOT=<path>, RSH=<path>, RCP=<path>, and
|
||||
TEMPDIR=<directory> respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
* File backups are now created. When ./process is run multiple
|
||||
times, the old files are moved to the ./tmp/<TIMESTAMP>/
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* perl has been updated to include full perl5.005_03 install
|
||||
package. Perl support for each architecture is now under the
|
||||
perl/ directory.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
MailStone 4.1: Changes to since version 4.0
|
||||
|
||||
* threads are used on all platforms reduces memory requirements by
|
||||
10x for large numbers of clients must run as root for maximum
|
||||
connections per process
|
||||
|
||||
* massive internal code and script cleanup / rewrite performance
|
||||
improvements for socket handling (blocking) and caching files and
|
||||
name lookups
|
||||
|
||||
* filename and path conventions restructuring '/mailstone'
|
||||
hardwired path no longer required mailstone/results/index.html

|

|
||||
* periodic statistics reporting allows for trend analysis of many
|
||||
variables per protocol. sampling rate is automatically determined
|
||||
by mailmaster Can now generate on-the-fly reports for above by
|
||||
running "process"
|
||||
|
||||
* The accountFormat directive is now obsolete. Use loginFormat
|
||||
and addressFormat instead.
|
||||
|
||||
* The numAccounts and beginAccounts directives are now obsolete.
|
||||
Use numLogins, firstLogin, numAddresses, and firstAddress instead.
|
||||
|
||||
* The sequentialLogins directive disables random account number
|
||||
selection. This insures a predictable account sequence.
|
||||
|
||||
* The checkMailInterval directive for IMAP is now obsolete. Use
|
||||
loopDelay instead.
|
||||
|
||||
* The directives idleTime, loopDelay, and numLoops now apply to
|
||||
all protocols. See the manual for how loopDelay and numLoops are
|
||||
used by each protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
* a command directive such as <SMTP> without HOSTS=xxx will now
|
||||
apply to all clients in the testbed
|
||||
|
||||
* <include> directive for workload and testbed files (e.g. for
|
||||
user profile)
|
||||
|
||||
* workloads are now passed to 'mailclient' through stdin no test
|
||||
specific files need to be copied to client machines more
|
||||
synchonized test startup
|
||||
|
||||
* 'setup' script will copy mailclient and test messages
|
||||
(data/*.msg) to each testbed machine in /var/tmp
|
||||
|
||||
* 'cleanup' form of setup will remove mailclient and test messages
|
||||
from each testbed machine in /var/tmp
|
||||
|
||||
* 'checktime' form of setup will (nearly) simultaneously retrieve
|
||||
time from each client. This lets you easily check for clock
|
||||
problems.
|
||||
|
||||
* 'timesync' form of setup will (nearly) simultaneously set time
|
||||
on each client. This only works on OSs that support setting
|
||||
seconds through the "date" command. rdate or ntpdate should be
|
||||
used if available. You must be the root user and be able to rsh
|
||||
as root for timesync to work.
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved reports in text and html (formatting and content)
|
||||
|
||||
* The text version of the report is now only displayed
|
||||
automatically if "-v" is given.
|
||||
|
||||
* Graphs with more than one protocol will also display a "Total"
|
||||
graph
|
||||
|
||||
* The graphs can now be customized for each test (see sample.wld
|
||||
for the default)
|
||||
|
||||
* You can now add graphs (in addition to the default or configured
|
||||
ones) by using "process timestamp -a conf/moregraph.wld".
|
||||
|
||||
* An informative index of test runs is now generated in
|
||||
results/index.html
|
||||
|
||||
* The index is updated while the run is in progress to make
|
||||
checking for errors easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* The error log now displays times relative to test start.
|
||||
|
||||
* Memory use while processing results has been greatly reduced.
|
||||
|
||||
* A summary of the data from each process is now saved in a
|
||||
Comma-separated-value (CSV) file. results/timestamp/clients.csv
|
||||
|
||||
* A summary of the data over time is now saved in a
|
||||
Comma-separated-value (CSV) file.
|
||||
results/timestamp/protocol-time.csv
|
||||
|
||||
* new gnuplot binary included, can output directly to gif format
|
||||
|
||||
* read and write performance numbers now reported separately
|
||||
|
||||
* new runtime banners and copyrights (ooh boy)
|
||||
|
||||
* idleTime option for IMAP fixed, plus now applies to all commands
|
||||
|
||||
* blockTime now sets a delay between command blocks
|
||||
|
||||
* Process model is as follows
|
||||
User runs the top-level 'mstone' script
|
||||
This calls 'conf/testname.pl' with command line arguments
|
||||
This calls 'mailmaster.pl' with config and command line arguments
|
||||
mailmaster uses 'rsh' or equivalent to launch mailclients
|
||||
mailclient runs on each testbed and forks numprocs
|
||||
each proc spawns numthreads (one per client)
|
||||
|
||||
<run tests> (note: results are being sent continuously)
|
||||
|
||||
threads send results back through sockets to top mailclient
|
||||
mailclient forwards results back over stdout via rsh pipe
|
||||
(for future work - do some data reduction/combining here)
|
||||
mailmaster directs output to each client-<hostname> file
|
||||
mailmaster launches report generator
|
||||
|
||||
* sample LDIF fragment for a postmaster entry included
|
||||
* Spilt off old ChangeLog entries to ChangeLog.1 and ChangeLog.2
