Tasks Configuration Samples

To specify your tasks, use configuration files in json or yaml format.

General structure of configuration file: :

{
    "ScenarioClass.scenario_method":
        "args": {
            ...
        },
        "runner": {
            ...
        },
        "context": {
            ...
        }
        "sla": {
            ...
        }
    }
}

ScanarioClass should be a subclass of the base Scenario class and scenario_method specifies what benchmark task should be run. Section "args" is also related to scenario. To learn more about scenarios configuration, see samples in doc/samples/tasks/scenarios.

Section "runners" specifies the way, how task should be run. To learn more about runners configurations, see samples in doc/samples/tasks/runners.

Section "context" defines different types of environments in which task can be launched. Look at doc/samples/tasks/context for samples.

Section "sla" defines details for determining compliance with contracted values such as maximum error rate or minimum response time. Look at doc/samples/tasks/sla for samples.

See a detailed description of benchmark scenarios, contexts & runners.
