Benchmark a valkey instance

Usage

valkey-benchmark [-h <host>] [-p <port>] [-c <clients>] [-n <requests] > [-k <boolean>]

Overview

Valkey is a key-value database. It is similar to memcached but the dataset is not volatile and other datatypes (such as lists and sets) are natively supported.

Options

-h hostname

Server hostname (default 127.0.0.1)

-p port

Server port (default 6379)

-s socket

Server socket (overrides host and port)

-a password

-d size

-dbnum db

SELECT the specified db number (default 0)

-k boolean

1=keep alive 0=reconnect (default 1)

-r keyspacelen

Use random keys for SET/GET/INCR, random values for SADD Using this option the benchmark will get/set keys in the form mykey_rand000000012456 instead of constant keys, the <keyspacelen> argument determines the max number of values for the random number. For instance if set to 10 only rand000000000000 - rand000000000009 range will be allowed.

-P numreq

Pipeline <numreq> requests. Default 1 (no pipeline).

-q
