usage: ghz [<flags>] [<host>]
Flags:
-h, --help Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
--config= Path to the JSON or TOML config file that specifies all the test run settings.
--proto= The Protocol Buffer .proto file.
--protoset= The compiled protoset file. Alternative to proto. -proto takes precedence.
--call= A fully-qualified method name in 'package.Service/method' or 'package.Service.Method' format.
-i, --import-paths= Comma separated list of proto import paths. The current working directory and the directory of the protocol buffer file are automatically added to the import list.
--cacert= File containing trusted root certificates for verifying the server.
--cert= File containing client certificate (public key), to present to the server. Must also provide -key option.
--key= File containing client private key, to present to the server. Must also provide -cert option.
--cname= Server name override when validating TLS certificate - useful for self signed certs.
--skipTLS Skip TLS client verification of the server's certificate chain and host name.
--insecure Use plaintext and insecure connection.
--authority= Value to be used as the :authority pseudo-header. Only works if -insecure is used.
--async Make requests asynchronous as soon as possible. Does not wait for request to finish before sending next one.
-r, --rps=0 Requests per second (RPS) rate limit for constant load schedule. Default is no rate limit.
--load-schedule="const" Specifies the load schedule. Options are const, step, or line. Default is const.
--load-start=0 Specifies the RPS load start value for step or line schedules.
--load-step=0 Specifies the load step value or slope value.
--load-end=0 Specifies the load end value for step or line load schedules.
--load-step-duration=0 Specifies the load step duration value for step load schedule.
--load-max-duration=0 Specifies the max load duration value for step or line load schedule.
-c, --concurrency=50 Number of request workers to run concurrently for const concurrency schedule. Default is 50.
--concurrency-schedule="const"
Concurrency change schedule. Options are const, step, or line. Default is const.
--concurrency-start=0 Concurrency start value for step and line concurrency schedules.
--concurrency-end=0 Concurrency end value for step and line concurrency schedules.
--concurrency-step=1 Concurrency step / slope value for step and line concurrency schedules.
--concurrency-step-duration=0
Specifies the concurrency step duration value for step concurrency schedule.
--concurrency-max-duration=0
Specifies the max concurrency adjustment duration value for step or line concurrency schedule.
-n, --total=200 Number of requests to run. Default is 200.
-t, --timeout=20s Timeout for each request. Default is 20s, use 0 for infinite.
-z, --duration=0 Duration of application to send requests. When duration is reached, application stops and exits. If duration is specified, n is ignored. Examples: -z 10s -z 3m.
-x, --max-duration=0 Maximum duration of application to send requests with n setting respected. If duration is reached before n requests are completed, application stops and exits. Examples: -x 10s -x 3m.
--duration-stop="close" Specifies how duration stop is reported. Options are close, wait or ignore. Default is close.
-d, --data= The call data as stringified JSON. If the value is '@' then the request contents are read from stdin.
-D, --data-file= File path for call data JSON file. Examples: /home/user/file.json or ./file.json.
-b, --binary The call data comes as serialized binary message or multiple count-prefixed messages read from stdin.
-B, --binary-file= File path for the call data as serialized binary message or multiple count-prefixed messages.
-m, --metadata= Request metadata as stringified JSON.
-M, --metadata-file= File path for call metadata JSON file. Examples: /home/user/metadata.json or ./metadata.json.
--stream-interval=0 Interval for stream requests between message sends.
--stream-call-duration=0 Duration after which client will close the stream in each streaming call.
--stream-call-count=0 Count of messages sent, after which client will close the stream in each streaming call.
--stream-dynamic-messages In streaming calls, regenerate and apply call template data on every message send.
--reflect-metadata= Reflect metadata as stringified JSON used only for reflection request.
-o, --output= Output path. If none provided stdout is used.
-O, --format= Output format. One of: summary, csv, json, pretty, html, influx-summary, influx-details. Default is summary.
--skipFirst=0 Skip the first X requests when doing the results tally.
--count-errors Count erroneous (non-OK) resoponses in stats calculations.
--connections=1 Number of connections to use. Concurrency is distributed evenly among all the connections. Default is 1.
--connect-timeout=10s Connection timeout for the initial connection dial. Default is 10s.
--keepalive=0 Keepalive time duration. Only used if present and above 0.
--name= User specified name for the test.
--tags= JSON representation of user-defined string tags.
--cpus=12 Number of cpu cores to use.
--debug= The path to debug log file.
-e, --enable-compression Enable Gzip compression on requests.
-v, --version Show application version.
