We maintain several testnets:
* `testnet` - public stable channel testnet accessible via testnet.solana.com. Runs 24/7
* `testnet-perf` - permissioned stable channel testnet running a 24/7 soak test.
* `testnet-master` - public edge channel testnet accessible via master.testnet.solana.com. Runs 24/7
* `testnet-master-perf` - permissioned edge channel testnet running a multi-hour soak test weekday mornings.
## Deploy process
They are deployed with the `ci/testnet-manager.sh` script through a list of [scheduled
buildkite jobs](https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/testnet-management/settings/schedules).
Each testnet can be manually manipulated from buildkite as well. The `-perf`
testnets use a release tarball while the non`-perf` builds use the snap build
(we've observed that the snap build runs slower than a tarball but this has yet
to be root caused).
## Where are the testnet logs?
Attach to the testnet first by running one of:
```bash
$ net/gce.sh config testnet-solana-com
$ net/gce.sh config master-testnet-solana-com
$ net/gce.sh config perf-testnet-solana-com
```
Then run:
```bash
$ net/ssh.sh
```
for log location details
## How do I reset the testnet?
Manually trigger the [testnet-management](https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/testnet-management) pipeline
and when prompted select the desired testnet
## How can I scale the tx generation rate?
Increase the TX rate by increasing the number of cores on the client machine which is running
`bench-tps` or run multiple clients. Decrease by lowering cores or using the rayon env
variable `RAYON_NUM_THREADS=<xx>`
## How can I test a change on the testnet?
Currently, a merged PR is the only way to test a change on the testnet. But you
can run your own testnet using the scripts in the `net/` directory.
## Adjusting the number of clients or validators on the testnet
Edit `ci/testnet-manager.sh`

# TestNet debugging info
Currently we have three testnets:
* `testnet` - public beta channel testnet accessible via testnet.solana.com. Runs 24/7
* `testnet-perf` - private beta channel testnet with clients trying to flood the network
with transactions until failure. Runs 24/7
* `testnet-msater` - public edge channel testnet accessible via master.testnet.solana.com. Runs 24/7
* `testnet-master-perf` - private edge channel testnet with clients trying to flood the network
with transactions until failure. Runs on weekday mornings for a couple hours
