Oha
oha is a command line HTTP load testing and benchmarking utility. It functions as a latency analysis tool and performance monitor, sending high volumes of requests to web servers to measure stability and identify performance bottlenecks.
The tool features a terminal user interface that displays real-time latency statistics and request animations during active tests. It includes a mechanism to correct for coordinated omission, ensuring that response time percentiles and latency distributions are reported accurately.
Its capabilities cover HTTP load generation, traffic simulation via randomized target URLs, and request rate control. The project supports secure communication through TLS and mutual TLS, and provides data export options for performance metrics in JSON, CSV, and SQLite formats.
The utility can be executed within containerized environments to maintain consistency across different host systems.
Features
- HTTP Load Testing - Provides high-volume HTTP request generation to measure the performance, stability, and bottlenecks of web services.
- Request Rate Controllers - Regulates traffic flow using fixed queries-per-second, burst modes, or unlimited rates.
- HTTP Request Dispatchers - Implements concurrent HTTP request dispatching to saturate target servers and measure performance under heavy load.
- Latency Histograms - Generates detailed response time histograms and performance data to calculate accurate latency percentiles.
- Request Rate Limiting - Regulates outgoing request flow using a timing mechanism to maintain a specific queries-per-second target.
- Latency Monitoring - Provides real-time measurement and tracking of request response times to identify performance bottlenecks.
- Coordinated Omission Correction - Implements a mechanism to correct for coordinated omission, ensuring accurate latency distributions and report statistics.
- Coordinated Omission Corrections - Implements a correction mechanism for coordinated omission to ensure accurate latency distribution and percentile reporting.
