Using Network Load Generator with Solo

Using Network Load Generator with Solo

The Network Load Generator (NLG) is a benchmarking tool designed to stress test Hiero networks by generating configurable transaction loads. To use the Network Load Generator with Solo, follow these steps:

1. Create a Solo network:

npx @hashgraph/solo:@latest one-shot single deploy

2. Use the rapid-fire commands to install the NLG chart and start a load test:

@hashgraph/solo:@latest rapid-fire crypto-transfer start --deployment my-deployment --args '"-c 3 -a 10 -t 60"'

3. In a separate terminal, you can start a different load test:

@hashgraph/solo:@latest rapid-fire nft-transfer start --deployment my-deployment --args '"-c 3 -a 10 -t 60"'

4. To stop the load test early use the stop command:

@hashgraph/solo:@latest rapid-fire nft-transfer stop --deployment my-deployment

5. To stop all running load tests and uninstall the NLG chart, use the destroy command:

@hashgraph/solo:@latest rapid-fire destroy all --deployment my-deployment

See this example for more details: examples/network-load-generator/README.md

A full list of all available rapid-fire commands can be found in Solo CLI Commands
