How to use the ab command: Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool. More information: <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/programs/ab.html>.

Solution

ab — Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool. More information: <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/programs/ab.html>.

Execute 100 HTTP GET requests to a given URL:
ab -n 100 {{url}}


Execute 100 HTTP GET requests, in concurrent batches of 10, to a URL:
ab -n 100 -c 10 {{url}}


Execute 100 HTTP POST requests to a URL, using a JSON payload from a file:
ab -n 100 -T {{application/json}} -p {{path/to/file.json}} {{url}}


Use HTTP [k]eep-Alive, i.e. perform multiple requests within one HTTP session:
ab -k {{url}}


Set the maximum number of seconds ([t]imeout) to spend for benchmarking (30 by default):
ab -t {{60}} {{url}}


Write the results to a CSV file:
ab -e {{path/to/file.csv}}
