Fortunately it is +quite easy to set it up through the web interface (and not that bad +through the `RESTful +API `__ +either). When adding droplets to a firewall rule, you can add tags. All +droplets in a testnet are tagged with the testnet name so it's enough to +define the testnet name in the firewall rule. It is not necessary to add +the nodes one-by-one. Also, the firewall rule "remembers" the testnet +name tag so if you change the servers but keep the name, the firewall +rules will still apply. diff --git a/tm-bench/README.md b/tm-bench/README.md deleted file mode 100644 index 2476ca11..00000000 --- a/tm-bench/README.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,64 +0,0 @@ -# Tendermint blockchain benchmarking tool (tm-bench) - -`tm-bench` is a simple benchmarking tool for [Tendermint -core](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint) nodes. - -``` -λ tm-bench -T 10 -r 1000 localhost:46657 -Stats Avg Stdev Max -Block latency 6.18ms 3.19ms 14ms -Blocks/sec 0.828 0.378 1 -Txs/sec 963 493 1811 -``` - -* [QuickStart using Docker](#quickstart-using-docker) -* [QuickStart using binaries](#quickstart-using-binaries) -* [Usage](#usage) - -## QuickStart using Docker - -``` -docker run -it --rm -v "/tmp:/tendermint" tendermint/tendermint init -docker run -it --rm -v "/tmp:/tendermint" -p "46657:46657" --name=tm tendermint/tendermint - -docker run -it --rm --link=tm tendermint/bench tm:46657 -``` - -## QuickStart using binaries - -Linux: - -``` -curl -L https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/tendermint/0.8.0/tendermint_linux_amd64.zip && sudo unzip -d /usr/local/bin tendermint_linux_amd64.zip && sudo chmod +x tendermint -tendermint init -tendermint node --app_proxy=dummy - -tm-bench localhost:46657 -``` - -Max OS: - -``` -curl -L https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/tendermint/0.8.0/tendermint_darwin_amd64.zip && sudo unzip -d /usr/local/bin tendermint_darwin_amd64.zip && sudo chmod +x tendermint -tendermint init -tendermint node --app_proxy=dummy - -tm-bench localhost:46657 -``` - -## Usage - -``` -tm-bench [-c 1] [-T 10] [-r 1000] [endpoints] - -Examples: - tm-bench localhost:46657 -Flags: - -T int - Exit after the specified amount of time in seconds (default 10) - -c int - Connections to keep open per endpoint (default 1) - -r int - Txs per second to send in a connection (default 1000) - -v Verbose output -``` diff --git a/tm-bench/README.rst b/tm-bench/README.rst new file mode 100644 index 00000000..676f2bbf --- /dev/null +++ b/tm-bench/README.rst @@ -0,0 +1,144 @@ +Benchmarking and Monitoring +=========================== + +tm-bench +-------- + +Tendermint blockchain benchmarking tool: https://github.com/tendermint/tools/tree/master/tm-bench + +For example, the following: + +:: + + tm-bench -T 10 -r 1000 localhost:46657 + +will output: + +:: + + Stats Avg Stdev Max + Block latency 6.18ms 3.19ms 14ms + Blocks/sec 0.828 0.378 1 + Txs/sec 963 493 1811 + +Quick Start +^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Docker +~~~~~~ + +:: + + docker run -it --rm -v "/tmp:/tendermint" tendermint/tendermint init + docker run -it --rm -v "/tmp:/tendermint" -p "46657:46657" --name=tm tendermint/tendermint + + docker run -it --rm --link=tm tendermint/bench tm:46657 + +Binaries +~~~~~~~~ + +If **Linux**, start with: + +:: + + curl -L https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/tendermint/0.10.4/tendermint_linux_amd64.zip && sudo unzip -d /usr/local/bin tendermint_linux_amd64.zip && sudo chmod +x tendermint + +if **Mac OS**, start with: + +:: + + curl -L https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/tendermint/0.10.4/tendermint_darwin_amd64.zip && sudo unzip -d /usr/local/bin tendermint_darwin_amd64.zip && sudo chmod +x tendermint + +then run: + +:: + + tendermint init + tendermint node --app_proxy=dummy + + tm-bench localhost:46657 + +with the last command being in a seperate window. + +Usage +^^^^^ + +:: + + tm-bench [-c 1] [-T 10] [-r 1000] [endpoints] + + Examples: + tm-bench localhost:46657 + Flags: + -T int + Exit after the specified amount of time in seconds (default 10) + -c int + Connections to keep open per endpoint (default 1) + -r int + Txs per second to send in a connection (default 1000) + -v Verbose output + +tm-monitor +---------- + +Tendermint blockchain monitoring tool;

It would be good to have both. For testnets with others we def need - them to dial the monitor. But I want to be able to run the monitor from my - laptop without openning ports. - If we don't want to open all the ports, maybe something like this would be a - good fit for us: tm-monitor agent running on each node, collecting all the - metrics. Each tm-monitor agent monitors local TM node and sends stats to a - single master tm-monitor master. That way we'll only need to open a single - port for UI on the node with tm-monitor master. And I believe it could be - done with a single package with a few subcommands. - ``` - # agent collecting metrics from localhost (default) - tm-monitor agent --master="192.168.1.17:8888" - - # agent collecting metrics from another TM node (useful for testing, development) - tm-monitor agent --master="192.168.1.17:8888" --node="192.168.1.18:46657" - - # master accepting stats from agents - tm-monitor master [--ton] OR [--ui] (`--ui` mode by default) - - # display table of nodes in the terminal (useful for testing, development, playing with TM) - # --nodes="localhost:46657" by default - tm-monitor - - # display table of nodes in the terminal (useful for testing, development, playing with TM) - tm-monitor --nodes="192.168.1.18:46657,192.168.1.19:46657" - ``` -- uptime over last day, month, year.
