Regarding CloudSuite Web-serving benchmark

[Anirban Bhattacharjee]

We are experimenting on  CloudSuite Web-serving benchmark and collecting the data as described in http://cloudsuite.ch/webserving/.

But, we want to do the experiment with varying load and want to collect the system data regarding the period. We have tried  to implement the variable load as mentioned in http://faban.org/1.3/docs/howdoi/loadvariation.html.

However, we cannot see the expected results in the data. The cpu, memory utilization and the throughput is not varying accordingly.

Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.

And please let me know how to run the workload from terminal.

Hi Anirban,

Are you able to resolve your issue?

I am also trying to setup cloudsuite webserver benchmark application. I am trying to run Olio benchmark in Faban. I am able to schedule the runs, but the problem is the Run Daemon is not running (please refer screenshot), faban log looks fine. I manually tried to start Run Daemon by adding the code " RunQ.getHandle().startRunDaemon();" in schedule-run.jsp but no luck. 

I am using three VMs (ubuntu) as Faban client, Backend and Frontend server. I used the steps from the link - http://parsa.epfl.ch/cloudsuite_old/web.html to configure the benchmark.

 

Do you have any idea about this issue?

Thanks
