Configuring OpenSearch Benchmark

OpenSearch Benchmark configuration data is stored in ~/.benchmark/benchmark.ini, which is automatically created the first time OpenSearch Benchmark runs.

The file is separated into the following sections, which you can customize based on the needs of your cluster.

meta

This section contains meta information about the configuration file.

Parameter Type Description
config.version Integer The version of the configuration file format. This property is managed by OpenSearch Benchmark and should not be changed.

system

This section contains global information for the current benchmark environment. This information should be identical on all machines on which OpenSearch Benchmark is installed.

Parameter Type Description
env.name String The name of the benchmark environment used as metadata in metrics documents when an OpenSearch metrics store is configured. Only alphanumeric characters are allowed. Default is local.
available.cores Integer Determines the number of available CPU cores. OpenSearch Benchmark aims to create one asyncio event loop per core and distributes it to clients evenly across event loops. Defaults to the number of logical CPU cores for your cluster.
async.debug Boolean Enables debug mode on OpenSearch Benchmark's asyncio event loop. Default is false.
passenv String A comma-separated list of environment variable names that should be passed to OpenSearch for processing.

node

This section contains node-specific information that can be customized according to the needs of your cluster.

Parameter Type Description
root.dir String The directory that stores all OpenSearch Benchmark data. OpenSearch Benchmark assumes control over this directory and all its subdirectories.
src.root.dir String The directory from which the OpenSearch source code and any OpenSearch plugins are called. Only relevant for benchmarks from sources.

source

This section contains more details about the OpenSearch source tree.

Parameter Type Description
remote.repo.url URL The URL from which to check out OpenSearch. Default is https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch.git.
opensearch.src.subdir String The local path relative to the src.root.dir of the OpenSearch search tree. Default is OpenSearch.
cache Boolean Enables OpenSearch's internal source artifact cache, opensearch*.tar.gz, and any plugin zip files. Artifacts are cached based on their Git revision. Default is true.
cache.days Integer The number of days that an artifact should be kept in the source artifact cache. Default is 7.

benchmarks

This section contains the settings that can be customized in the OpenSearch Benchmark data directory.

Parameter Type Description
local.dataset.cache String The directory in which benchmark datasets are stored. Depending on the benchmarks that are run, this directory may contain hundreds of GB of data. Default path is $HOME/.benchmark/benchmarks/data.

results_publishing

This section defines how benchmark metrics are stored.

Parameter Type Description
datastore.type String If set to in-memory all metrics are kept in memory while running the benchmark. If set to opensearch all metrics are instead written to a persistent metrics store and the data is made available for further analysis. Default is in-memory.
sample.queue.size Function The number of metrics samples that can be stored in OpenSearch Benchmark’s in-memory queue. Default is 2^20.
metrics.request.downsample.factor Integer (default: 1): Determines how many service time and latency samples are saved in the metrics store. By default, all values are saved. If you want to, for example. keep only every 100th sample, specify 100. This is useful to avoid overwhelming the metrics store in benchmarks with many clients. Default is 1.
output.processingtime Boolean If set to true, OpenSearch shows the additional metric processing time in the command line report. Default is false.

datastore.type parameters

When datastore.type is set to opensearch, the following reporting settings can be customized.

Parameter Type Description
datastore.host IP address The hostname of the metrics store, for example, 124.340.200.22.
datastore.port Port The port number of the metrics store, for example, 9200.
datastore.secure Boolean If set to false, OpenSearch assumes an HTTP connection. If set to true, it assumes an HTTPS connection.
datastore.ssl.verification_mode String When set to the default full, the metrics store’s SSL certificate is checked. To disable certificate verification, set this value to none.
datastore.ssl.certificate_authorities String Determines the local file system path to the certificate authority’s signing certificate.
datastore.user Username Sets the username for the metrics store
datastore.password String Sets the password for the metrics store. Alternatively, this password can be configured using the OSB_DATASTORE_PASSWORD environment variable, which avoids storing credentials in a plain text file. The environment variable takes precedence over the config file if both define a password.
datastore.probe.cluster_version String Enables automatic detection of the metrics store’s version. Default is true.
datastore.number_of_shards Integer The number of primary shards that the opensearch-* indexes should have. Any updates to this setting after initial index creation will only be applied to new opensearch-* indexes. Default is the OpenSearch static index value.
datastore.number_of_replicas Integer The number of replicas each primary shard in the datastore contains. Any updates to this setting after initial index creation will only be applied to new opensearch-* indexes. Default is the OpenSearch static index value.

Examples

You can use the following examples to set reporting values in your cluster.

This example defines an unprotected metrics store in the local network:

[results_publishing]
datastore.type = opensearch
datastore.host = 192.168.10.17
datastore.port = 9200
datastore.secure = false
datastore.user =
datastore.password =

This example defines a secure connection to a metrics store in the local network with a self-signed certificate:

[results_publishing]
datastore.type = opensearch
datastore.host = 192.168.10.22
datastore.port = 9200
datastore.secure = true
datastore.ssl.verification_mode = none
datastore.user = user-name
datastore.password = the-password-to-your-cluster

workloads

This section defines how workloads are retrieved. All keys are read by OpenSearch using the syntax <<workload-repository-name>>.url, which you can select using the OpenSearch Benchmark CLI --workload-repository=workload-repository-name" option. By default, OpenSearch chooses the workload repository using the default.url https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-benchmark-workloads.

defaults

This section defines the default values of certain OpenSearch Benchmark CLI parameters.

Parameter Type Description
preserve_benchmark_candidate Boolean Determines whether OpenSearch installations are preserved or wiped by default after a benchmark. To preserve an installation for a single benchmark, use the command line flag --preserve-install. Default is false.

distributions

This section defines how OpenSearch versions are distributed.

Parameter Type Description
release.cache Boolean Determines whether newly released OpenSearch versions should be cached locally.

Proxy configurations

OpenSearch automatically downloads all the necessary proxy data for you, including:

  • OpenSearch distributions, when you specify --distribution-version=<OPENSEARCH-VERSION>.
  • OpenSearch source code, when you specify a Git revision number, for example, --revision=1e04b2w.
  • Any metadata tracked from the OpenSearch GitHub repository.

As of OpenSearch Benchmark 0.5.0, only http_proxy is supported. {: .warning}

You can use an http_proxy to connect OpenSearch Benchmark to a specific proxy and connect the proxy to a benchmark workload. To add the proxy:

  1. Add your proxy URL to your shell profile:

    export http_proxy=http://proxy.proxy.org:4444/

  2. Source your shell profile and verify that the proxy URL is set correctly:

    source ~/.bash_profile ; echo $http_proxy

  3. Configure Git to connect to your proxy by using the following command. For more information, see the Git documentation.

    git config --global http_proxy $http_proxy

  4. Use git clone to clone the workloads repository by using the following command. If the proxy configured correctly, the clone is successful.

    git clone http://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-benchmark-workloads.git

  5. Lastly, verify that OpenSearch Benchmark can connect to the proxy server by checking the /.benchmark/logs/benchmark.log log. When OpenSearch Benchmark starts, you should see the following at the top of the log:

    Connecting via proxy URL [http://proxy.proxy.org:4444/] to the Internet (picked up from the environment variable [http_proxy]).

Logging

Logs from OpenSearch Benchmark can be configured in the ~/.benchmark/logging.json file. For more information about how to format the log file, see the following Python documentation:

By default, OpenSearch Benchmark logs all output to ~/.benchmark/logs/benchmark.log.
