Orca - A Kanidm Load Testing Tool
Make a profile.toml
orca setup-wizard --idm-admin-password ... \
--admin-password ... \
--control-uri 'https://localhost:8443' \
--profile ./profile.toml
Test the connection
orca conntest --profile ./profile.toml
Generate a State File
orca generate --profile ./profile.toml --state ./state.json
Run the test preflight to populate the sample data
orca populate --state ./state.json
Run the load test
orca run --state ./state.json
Design Choices
What is a profile?
A profile defines the connection parameters and test randomisation seed. From a profile you define the parameters of the test you wish to perform.
What is a state file?
A statefile is the fully generated state of all entries that will be created and then used in the load test. The state file can be recreated from a profile and it's seed at anytime. The reason to separate these is that state files may get quite large, when what you really just need is the ability to recreate them when needed.
This state file also contains all the details about accounts and entries so that during test execution orca knows what it can and can not interact with.
Why have a separate generate and preflight?
Because generating the data is single thread limited, this would also bottleneck entry creation. By generating the data first, we can then execute preflight entry creation in parallel.
