@Sattish: What do you mean by a user-defined function? As far as hardware metrics, grinder might provide the functionality - take a look at their documentation. Also, what do you mean by "adding users dynamically"?

@wauter: Hello Wauter, I'm glad you liked the framework! Looks like I lost the content when I migrated my content over. Here's a link to the project on Github. I'll update the post!

Hi Vivin,

Great work! I was looking at designing a framework for grinder myself before Is tumbled into your article, I like your framwork a lot.

btw. the link to the example http://vivin.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/grinder-frameworked.py is unavailable atm.

Cheers,

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.

Hi vivin!
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.

@muellae Sorry for taking so long to respond. 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 could 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 cannot 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.

Hi vivin.
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!

@Mukesh Nair Could you show the details about it. I have the same problem.
