| = IMAP Tester = imaptest was originally written for stress testing [http://www.dovecot.org/ Dovecot] IMAP server. Its primary testing method is still stress testing, but now it also parses the incoming IMAP replies and complains if anything looks broken. == Compiling == 1. Download and compile Dovecot v1.1 sources. imaptest uses its library functions. 1. Get the latest beta from http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/ 1. Compiling goes the usual way: {{{./configure && make}}} (there's no need for {{{make install}}}) 1. Download http://www.dovecot.org/tools/imaptest.c to Dovecot sources' root directory (i.e. where the {{{configure}}} script exists) 1. imaptest's header comment shows the compile command for gcc, use it or something similar. You may want to modify the default configuration from #defines at the top of the file. This isn't required, but if you run imaptest often this way you don't have to give the same parameters every time. == Running == The most important parameters (and their defaults) are: * host=127.0.0.1: Host name/IP address where to connect. * port=143: Port what to use. * user=tss: Username template. You can use multiple random users and domains by giving %d in the template. So for example {{{user%d}}} returns user1..user100 and {{{user%d@domain%d.org}}} returns user1..100@domain1..100.org. The 1..100 range is hardcoded to the binary. You can change them from {{{USER_RAND}}} and {{{DOMAIN_RAND}}} defines. * password=pass: Password to use for all users. There's currently no way to use different passwords for different users. * mbox=/home/tss/mail/dovecot-crlf: Path to mbox file where to append messages from. See below for how this is used. Other useful parameters include: * clients=10: Number of simultaneous client connections to use. * secs=n: Run imaptest n seconds and then exit. * box=INBOX: Mailbox to use for testing. INBOX is the default. * copybox=n: When testing COPY command, this specifies the destination mailbox. * seed=n: Seed to use for random generator. Setting this to some specific value makes repeated benchmarks a bit more reliable, because the used commands should be the same then. * disconnect_quit: If a client gets disconnected, quit. Use logout=0 parameter with this one. This is useful when debugging some problem in the server. * no_pipelining: Don't send multiple commands at once to server. Selecting what to test: * <state>=<probability>[,<probability2>]: State probabilities to use. See below. * checkpoint=n: Run a checkpoint every n seconds. See below. * random: Switch randomly between states. * no_tracking: Don't track and complain about IMAP state. Makes it use a bit less CPU. |
