OpenLoad Commandline Parameters

The syntax for OpenLoad is:

  openload [options] url [clients]
 

The options are:

• -t Test mode. In this mode no throughput measurements are done. However the full response from the webserver (including headers) is displayed. This is useful for verifying that you get the right content before executing the real test. In this mode the number of clients defaults to 1.
• -h header value Specifies a HTTP request header. You can use this option several times to specify several headers. E.g. to specify the User-Agent header you can do:
  

       openload -h User-Agent "MSIE 5.0" mysite.com/someapp
     

• -l seconds Time limit. The test will only run for the specified number of seconds.
• -o outputmode Output mode. Currently only csv (comma seperated values) is supported. This is useful for importing the result in a spreadsheet. The fields are:

      Url
      Number of clients
      TPS
      Average response time (seconds)
      Maximum response time
      Total number of requests
