Metric Stresser

A graphite metric stresser, this is inspired by graphite-stresser, which is a Java program, and can only test line format. I want to test pickle easily.

Usage

$ python mstresser.py -h
usage: mstresser.py [-h] [-a ADDRESS] [-f {line,pickle}] [-p PROCESS]
                    [-m METRIC] [-i INTERVAL] [-d]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -a ADDRESS, --address ADDRESS
                        host:port pair.
  -f {line,pickle}, --format {line,pickle}
                        Format of data.
  -p PROCESS, --process PROCESS
                        Number of processes.
  -m METRIC, --metric METRIC
                        Number of metrics for one process.
  -i INTERVAL, --interval INTERVAL
                        Publish time interval.
  -d, --debug           Debug mode, send the metrics to terminal.

The following command will generate 100 processes, each process will have 2 metrics.

$ python mstresser.py -a localhost:2004 -f pickle -p 2 -m 2 -i 1 -d
