my benchmark

Data retrieval

    during the tests several commands were issued to gather information about the system, this has been done through running multiple shells on the benchmark server and running the commands to gather the information.

dstat -M swengine2 -M php -cdmnt | tee /tmp/fisier.dstat

iostat -xm 1 | tee /tmp/fisier.iostat

iostat -tm 1 | tee /tmp/fisier.iops

while true ; do echo "`date +%F-%T` `cat /proc/loadavg`" >> /tmp/fisier.load && sleep 1; done

    Calculate erlangs
    The file fisier.dstat is edited and all rows which on column 1 have entries of 0 are deleted (there may be a small delay between the moment the command is run and when the server is actually starting to receive calls). Also at the end of the file, all rows which on column 1 have entries of 0 are also deleted (due to the moment the server stopped processing calls and when the monitoring was stopped, there could be a delay).

    awk '$1 !~ /0/ {++count; sum+=$1}END {print sum/count}' fisier.dstat

    Calculate averages

    awk '{user[NR] = $1; nice[NR] = $2; asystem[NR] = $3; iowait[NR] = $4; steal[NR] = $5; idle[NR] = $6} /Device/ {++count; i = NR-2; sumiowait+=iowait[i]; sumuser+=user[i]; sumnice+=nice[i]; sumasystem+=asystem[i]; sumsteal+=steal[i]; sumidle+=idle[i];} END {print "Averages\n| %iowait | "sumiowait/count" |\n| %user   | "sumuser/count" |\n| %nice   | "sumnice/count"       |\n| %system | "sumasystem/count" |\n| %steal  | "sumsteal/count"       |\n| %idle   | "sumidle/count" |"}' fisier.iostat

    Calculate %CPU Usage

Substract %CPU Idle (from the output of the above command) from 100 and you get %CPU Usage

    Loadavg

    awk '{++count; sum+=$2} END {print (sum/count)}' fisier.load

    Transactions per second (replace xvda with the name of the HDD or partition you want to get the results for, e.g: sda, sdb1, sda6, etc.)

    awk '$1 ~ /^xvda$/ {++count; total+=$2; rps+=$3; wps+=$4} END {print total/count " average transactions per second\n"rps/count" average MB_read/s\n"wps/count" average MB_wrtn/s"}' fisier.iops

    On the PRODUCT folder within the Workdir folder, go under the directory named after the virtual IP of the server, tmp, manager, open dstat.csv, delete the first 7 rows, then save the file as dstat.csv.1.
    Refused call

    awk -F, '{if($3 > count) count=$3} { if($4 > max) max=$4} END { s=(max/count)*100; printf "%2.3f%\n", s }' dstat.csv.1

    Memory used

    awk -F, '{++count; sum+=$18} END {print (sum/count)/1024/1024" MB"}' dstat.csv.1

    Network received

    awk -F, '{++count; sum+=$13} END {print (sum/count)/1024/1024" MB"}' dstat.csv.1

    Network sent

    awk -F, '{++count; sum+=$14} END {print (sum/count)/1024/1024" MB"}' dstat.csv.1
