...

  • host=[host]

    • The host value should point to your DuraCloud instance. You 'll want to should replace "[host]" with something like "myaccount.duracloud.org".
  • spaceId=[spaceId]

    • The name of the space where test content will be stored as part of each test. You should replace "[spaceId]" with the name of your test space.
  • user=[user]

    • The username you use to log in to DuraCloud. You should replace "[user]" with your username.
  • pass=[password]

    • The password you use to log in to DuraCloud. You should replace "[password]" with your password.
  • numfiles=[numfiles]

    • The number of files to use in the test. The larger the number of files, the longer the test will take, but the more accurate the result. It is generally recommended to use numbers between 20 and 40. You should replace "[numfiles]" with the number you select.
  • filesize=[filesize-in-MB]

    • The size of each test file in Megabytes (MB). Try to estimate the average size of file in your dataset and use that number for this value. You should replace "[filesize-in-MB]" with your typical file size number.
  • threads=[numthreads]

    • The number of processing threads that are run at the same time to move your content up to DuraCloud. The default value is 3, but the transfer rate generally improves with the number of threads until either the upload bandwidth is consumed, or the resources of the machine (the CPU and memory) are at full capacity. You should replace "[numthreads]" with your preferred thread count.
    • This number is a good one to experiment with to try to determine the optimal number of threads for moving your content.
  • upload=false

    • Determines if the results for each test are also transferred to DuraCloud when the test is complete. The default is "false", which means the results will just be printed to the screen. Set this value to "true" if you'd like to share your results via DuraCloud (note that this will take a few extra minutes.)
