Grinder is a | Grinder is a distributed Java application scriptable in Jython. A central GUI application known as the Console marshals a herd of Agents running on other machines. The Agents spawn processes which, in turn, run tests in threads. The tests, written in Jython, are intended to hit some resource repeatedly. The Agents collect response statistics from the processes and report back to the Console. The Console aggregates and summarizes the data for presentation within its GUI. The Console also can save the aggregated results as a CSV file. | ||

Setting up the application is the same for both the Agents and the Console. We will probably create a custom tar file for a distribution. Once untarred, it will only be necessary to edit an environment setup file to adjust paths. | Setting up the application is the same for both the Agents and the Console.
