Fortio

Fortio (Φορτίο) started as, and is, Istio's load testing tool and now graduated to be its own project.

Fortio runs at a specified query per second (qps) and records an histogram of execution time and calculates percentiles (e.g. p99 ie the response time such as 99% of the requests take less than that number (in seconds, SI unit)). It can run for a set duration, for a fixed number of calls, or until interrupted (at a constant target QPS, or max speed/load per connection/thread).

The name fortio comes from greek φορτίο which means load/burden.

Fortio is a fast, small (3Mb docker image, minimal dependencies), reusable, embeddable go library as well as a command line tool and server process, the server includes a simple web UI and graphical representation of the results (both a single latency graph and a multiple results comparative min, max, avg, qps and percentiles graphs).

Fortio also includes a set of server side features (similar to httpbin) to help debugging and testing: request echo back including headers, adding latency or error codes with a probability distribution, tcp proxying, GRPC echo/health in addition to http, etc...

Fortio is quite mature and very stable with no known major bugs (lots of possible improvements if you want to contribute though!), and when bugs are found they are fixed quickly, so after 1 year of development and 42 incremental releases, we reached 1.0 in June 2018.

Installation

Install go (golang 1.8 or later)
go get fortio.org/fortio
you can now run fortio (from your gopath bin/ directory)

Or use docker, for instance:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8079:8079 fortio/fortio server & # For the server
docker run fortio/fortio load http://www.google.com/ # For a test run

Or download one the binary distributions, from the releases assets page or for instance:

curl -L https://github.com/fortio/fortio/releases/download/v1.3.1/fortio-linux_x64-1.3.1.tgz \
 | sudo tar -C / -xvzpf -
# or the debian package
wget https://github.com/fortio/fortio/releases/download/v1.3.1/fortio_1.3.1-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i fortio_1.3.1-1_amd64.deb
# or the rpm
rpm -i https://github.com/fortio/fortio/releases/download/v1.3.1/fortio-1.3.1-1.x86_64.rpm

On a MacOS you can also install Fortio using Homebrew:

brew install fortio

Once fortio server is running, you can visit its web UI at http://localhost:8080/fortio/

You can get a preview of the reporting/graphing UI at https://fortio.istio.io/ and on istio.io/docs/performance-and-scalability/synthetic-benchmarks/

Command line arguments

Fortio can be an http or grpc load generator, gathering statistics using the load subcommand, or start simple http and grpc ping servers, as well as a basic web UI, result graphing and https redirector, with the server command or issue grpc ping messages using the grpcping command. It can also fetch a single URL's for debugging when using the curl command (or the -curl flag to the load command). You can run just the redirector with redirect. If you saved JSON results (using the web UI or directly from the command line), you can browse and graph those results using the report command. The version command will print version and build information, fortio version -s just the version. Lastly, you can learn which flags are available using help command.

Most important flags for http load generation:

Flag	Description, example
`-qps rate`	Queries Per Seconds or 0 for no wait/max qps
`-c connections`	Number of parallel simultaneous connections (and matching go routine)
`-t duration`	How long to run the test (for instance `-t 30min` for 30 minutes) or 0 to run until ^C, example (default 5s)
`-n numcalls`	Run for exactly this number of calls instead of duration. Default (0) is to use duration (-t).
`-r resolution`	Resolution of the histogram lowest buckets in seconds (default 0.001 i.e 1ms), use 1/10th of your expected typical latency
`-H "header: value"`	Can be specified multiple times to add headers (including Host:)
`-a`	Automatically save JSON result with filename based on labels and timestamp
`-json filename`	Filename or `-` for stdout to output json result (relative to `-data-dir` by default, should end with .json if you want `fortio report` to show them; using `-a` is typicallly a better option)
`-labels "l1 l2 ..."`	Additional config data/labels to add to the resulting JSON, defaults to target URL and hostname

You can switch from http GET queries to POST by setting -content-type or passing one of the -payload-* option.

Change the target port for grpc

The value of -grpc-port (default 8079) is used when specifying a hostname or an IP address in grpcping. Add :port to the grpcping destination to change this behavior:

$ fortio grpcping 10.10.10.100:8078 # Connects to gRPC server 10.10.10.100 listening on port 8078

`grpcping` using TLS

First, start Fortio server with the -cert and -key flags:

/path/to/fortio/server.crt and /path/to/fortio/server.key are paths to the TLS certificate and key that you must provide.

$ fortio server -cert /path/to/fortio/server.crt -key /path/to/fortio/server.key
UI starting - visit:
http://localhost:8080/fortio/
Https redirector running on :8081
Fortio 1.3.1 grpc ping server listening on port :8079
Fortio 1.3.1 echo server listening on port localhost:8080
Using server certificate /path/to/fortio/server.crt to construct TLS credentials
Using server key /path/to/fortio/server.key to construct TLS credentials

Next, use grpcping with the -cacert flag:

/path/to/fortio/ca.crt is the path to the CA certificate that issued the server certificate for localhost. In our example, the server certificate is /path/to/fortio/server.crt:

$ fortio grpcping -cacert /path/to/fortio/ca.crt localhost
Using server certificate /path/to/fortio/ca.crt to construct TLS credentials
16:00:10 I pingsrv.go:129> Ping RTT 501452 (avg of 595441, 537088, 371828 ns) clock skew 31094

GRPC to standard https service

grpcping can connect to a non-Fortio TLS server by prefacing the destination with https://:

$ fortio grpcping https://fortio.istio.io
11:07:55 I grpcrunner.go:275> stripping https scheme. grpc destination: fortio.istio.io. grpc port: 443

Load test using gRPC and TLS security. First, start Fortio server with the -cert and -key flags:

fortio server -cert /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt -key /etc/ssl/certs/server.key

Next, run the load command with the -cacert flag:

fortio load -cacert /etc/ssl/certs/ca.crt -grpc localhost:8079

Curl like (single request) mode

If you have json files saved from running the full UI, you can serve just the reports:

$ fortio report
Browse only UI starting - visit:
http://localhost:8080/
Https redirector running on :8081

Server URLs and features

Fortio server has the following feature for the http listening on 8080 (all paths and ports are configurable through flags above):

A simple echo server which will echo back posted data (for any path not mentioned below).

For instance curl -d abcdef http://localhost:8080/ returns abcdef back. It supports the following optional query argument parameters:

Parameter	Usage, example
delay	duration to delay the response by. Can be a single value or a coma separated list of probabilities, e.g `delay=150us:10,2ms:5,0.5s:1` for 10% of chance of a 150 us delay, 5% of a 2ms delay and 1% of a 1/2 second delay
status	http status to return instead of 200. Can be a single value or a coma separated list of probabilities, e.g `status=404:10,503:5,429:1` for 10% of chance of a 404 status, 5% of a 503 status and 1% of a 429 status
size	size of the payload to reply instead of echoing input. Also works as probabilities list. `size=1024:10,512:5` 10% of response will be 1k and 5% will be 512 bytes payload and the rest defaults to echoing back.
close	close the socket after answering e.g `close=true`
header	header(s) to add to the reply e.g. `&header=Foo:Bar&header=X:Y`

/debug will echo back the request in plain text for human debugging.
/fortio/ A UI to
- Run/Trigger tests and graph the results.
- A UI to browse saved results and single graph or multi graph them (comparative graph of min,avg, median, p75, p99, p99.9 and max).
- Proxy/fetch other URLs
- /fortio/data/index.tsv an tab separated value file conforming to Google cloud storage URL list data transfer format so you can export/backup local results to the cloud.
- Download/sync peer to peer JSON results files from other Fortio servers (using their index.tsv URLs)
- Download/sync from an Amazon S3 or Google Cloud compatible bucket listings XML URLs

The report mode is a readonly subset of the above directly on /.

There is also the GRPC health and ping servers, as well as the http->https redirector.

Implementation details

Fortio is written in the Go language and includes a scalable semi log histogram in stats.go and a periodic runner engine in periodic.go with specializations for http and grpc. The http/ package includes a very high performance specialized http 1.1 client. You may find fortio's logger useful as well.

You can run the histogram code standalone as a command line in histogram/, a basic echo http server in echosrv/, or both the http echo and GRPC ping server through fortio server, the fortio command line interface lives in this top level directory fortio_main.go

There is also fcurl/ which is the fortio curl part of the code (if you need a light http client without grpc or server side). A matching tiny (2Mb compressed) docker image is fortio/fortio.fcurl

More examples

You can get the data on the console, for instance, with 5k qps: (includes envoy and mixer in the calls)
