# corosync-pload(8)

Start payload test.

## NAME

corosync-pload - Start payload test.

## SYNOPSIS

**corosync-pload**

## DESCRIPTION

**corosync-pload** starts the pload service. This is used as a test tool to generate traffic. All nodes will begin transmitting messages and they will stop when 1500000 messages have been received per node.

To view the progress of this execute:

$ corosync-objctl runtime.services.pload.\
 runtime.services.pload.service\_id=13\
 runtime.services.pload.0.tx=3\
 runtime.services.pload.0.rx=2\
 runtime.services.pload.1.tx=2478788\
 runtime.services.pload.1.rx=4467870

At the end of the run a log message will be written showing the number of messages written and the time that this took.

corosync\[4931\]: \[PLOAD \] 1500000 Writes 300 bytes per write  30.838 seconds runtime, 48640.968 TP/S, 13.916 MB/S.
