I'm not familiar with jmeter, but I suppose you want to measure request service time. But what would also be interesting is memory and or CPU consumption on the host. I'm not sure jmeter can gather those metrics by itself. > It would be awesome if we could put something into the source > distribution to do this in a standard manner so we can all compare > performance on different platforms and ruby stacks.

I'd really like to compare MRI to JRuby for Puppet deployement (or even to compare a glassfish to something else). > This is all a lot easier with the RESTful API than it was with XMLRPC > by the way. > > There was the puppet-test script in ext/, but as per > http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3183 it doesn't appear to > have been updated for 0.25.x clients.

It's not like I'd have the time to help, but at least I can offer to discuss implementation or concepts... -- Brice Figureau Follow the latest Puppet Community evolutions on www.planetpuppet.org! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
