statsd-tg – StatsD traffic generator ══════════════════════════════════════ http://octo.it/statsd-tg About ━━━━━ statsd-tg is a traffic generator for StatsD. It generates dummy traffic that can be used to stress-test / benchmark StatsD implementations and possibly perform profiling. Operation ━━━━━━━━━ statsd-tg generates a set of dummy counters, timers, gauges and sets. The number of each type of event can be configured using command line switches. It then randomly triggers these events using a PRNG which distributes these events uniformly. This means that if you configure 50 counters, 30 timers, 15 gauges and 5 sets, counters should make up aproximately half of the generated traffic, timers 30%, gauges 15% and sets 5%.
