Its nice to see the way u maintained the tutorials for Grinder. Have few queries on implementing few features related to Grinder. 1. How to call a user defined function 2. How to monitor server side metrics like CPU,memory and Disk etc. 3. Do we have an option to add users dynamically. Do u have any monitoring template available Thanks Sattish. Hi Vivin,

Thanks for describing the test framework. Its nice to see the way u maintained the tutorials for Grinder. Have few queries on implementing few features related to Grinder.
1. How to call a user defined function
2. How to monitor server side metrics like CPU,memory and Disk etc.
3. Do we have an option to add users dynamically.

Do u have any monitoring template available

Thanks
Sattish.

Also, thank you for your kind words :) I'm glad you find my tool helpful! @muellae

Thanks for your answer. I actually meant a http request only and was not able to parse it. The problem was, that it's hardly (or even not?) possible to use the python regex lib in jython. I'm now just using the java regex library and it works like a charm. Thanks anyway for your answer! You did a great job with torqueo, it's a great tool which helped me a lot. Hi vivin!

I was pretty busy with school and work. There is no way (as of now) to have access to the HTTP results. It's abstracted away inside the tasks. What you <i>could</i> do, is modify the autogenerated task-files themselves and get access to the result that way. The reason that the result is not provided (and possibly <i>cannot</i> be provided per the current design) is that a task consists of one or more requests. So it doesn't make sense to talk about the "result" of a task. A task represents an abstract unit. @muellae

I have a question about the using of regex. Since grinder just allows to compile regex within the runner, how do i parse http results in torqueo tasks? I didn't get any valuable answers in the internet so far. Do you have any advices? Would be great, thx! Hi vivin.

So what you need to do is divide the load (and select a user) based on the thread number. Script 1 will use user1-user25 (if the thread number is between 1 and 25), script 2 will use user26-user50 (if the thread number is between 26 and 50). This basically means that you need to have 100 threads. @vicky

I am working in web application and i wanna to test the load of the application. For this i am using the grinder tool and under stand all the things except properties file of grinder framework. Is it possible to run more than one script or divide the scripts in threads on same time. Here i can explain you through example. Suppose we have 4 scripts and want 4 scripts are equally divided in 100 user's. is it possible? Hi Vivin,
