sysbench 测试工具的安装和使用

如果大家看过一些关于MySQL的性能报告或白皮书之类的文档，里面会提到不少使用sysbench测试的数据结果。

sysbench可以帮助测试服务器的性能。其作用，我想大概有以下几项：

1.帮助你测试不同硬件框架的性能

2.在你创建真实应用之前，先了解服务器的负载

3.可以协助你调试初始的服务器参数(即my.cnf/my.ini内的配置）

以下，我以linux+MySQL Cluster为例，说明如何安装使用sysbench

一，首先下载，我使用的版本为sysbench-0.4.12

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sysbench/

二，安装sysbench

1)确保如下包已经安装（如是MySQL Server，即相应的类似包）
MySQL-Cluster-shared-gpl-7.2.12-1.sles11
MySQL-Cluster-devel-gpl-7.2.12-1.sles11
MySQL-Cluster-client-gpl-7.2.12-1.sles11

2)上传sysbench-0.4.12.tar.gz 并解压

3)安装如下软件包（其中zypper对应的是suselinux的命令，如是redhat，可用yum install)

zypper in make binutils gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake

4)进行sysbench解压根目录，执行如下操作
cp /usr/share/libtool/config/config.sub config/
cp /usr/share/libtool/config/config.guess config/

./autogen.sh

下面的lib,include需要与你本机相匹配， whereis mysql可查
./configure --with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql --with-mysql-libs=/usr/lib64/mysql LDFLAGS='-ldl'

或,如果出现  undefined reference to '__gxx_personality_v0' collect2: ld command 1 exit status错误，则使用如下命令：

./configure --with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql --with-mysql-libs=/usr/lib64/mysql LDFLAGS='-ldl -lstdc++'

./configure执行完成后，需要把/usr/bin/libtool 拷贝到 sysbench解压目录

make & make install


以下是安装异常及处理方法：
--------
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized
后来查了一下文档，原来需要这样解决就可以啦。
解决方案：
把 /usr/share/libtool/config.guess 覆盖到相关软件自带的config.guess
把 /usr/share/libtool/config.sub 覆盖到相关软件自带的config.sub
-----------
gcc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory -- binutils没有安装出错

can not find -lmysqlclient_r -- MySQL-Cluster-shared-gpl-7.2.12-1.sles11没有安装

----有下面错误，可以如下处理
a) 出现../libtool: line 838: X--tag=CC: command not found
b) sysbench解压目录，执行autogen.sh
出现aclocal命令不存之类的错误。可安装autoconf和automake。可使用zypper in autoconf, zypper in automake
c) 安装完autoconf,automake后执行 ./configure

以上，祝好运。

三，测试命令

1）运行如下命令测试
sysbench --test=oltp --mysql-table-engine=ndbcluster --oltp-table-size=2000 --num-threads=8 --oltp-test-mode=simple --mysql-db=test --mysql-user=root --mysql-password=comverse prepare

如果出现未找到libmysqlclient_r.so，把如下内容加入~/bashrc
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib

2）sysbench测试，先prepare, 再run
sysbench --test=oltp --mysql-table-engine=ndbcluster --oltp-table-size=2000 --num-threads=8 --oltp-test-mode=simple --mysql-db=db1 --mysql-user=root --mysql-password=comverse prepare


sysbench --test=oltp --mysql-table-engine=ndbcluster --oltp-table-size=2000 --num-threads=8 --oltp-test-mode=simple --mysql-db=db1 --mysql-user=root --mysql-password=comverse run

Chapter 1. About this document

     This document is a user manual for SysBench, a multi-threaded      benchmark tool available from http://launchpad.net/sysbench.      This document describes features provided by the 0.4.x development      branch of SysBench. New features available in the newer 0.5.x      branch are not covered by this document.

Chapter 2. Introduction

     SysBench is a modular, cross-platform and multi-threaded benchmark tool for evaluating OS parameters       that are important for a system running a database under intensive load.    

     The idea of this benchmark suite is to quickly get an impression about system performance without setting up       complex database benchmarks or even without installing a database at all.    

1. Features of SysBench

Current features allow to test the following system parameters:

• file I/O performance

• scheduler performance

• memory allocation and transfer speed

• POSIX threads implementation performance

• database server performance

2. Design

The design is very simple. SysBench runs a specified number of threads and they all execute requests in parallel.The actual workload produced by requests depends on the specified test mode. You can limit either the total number ofrequests or the total time for the benchmark, or both.      

Available test modes are implemented by compiled-in modules, and SysBench was designed to make adding new test modesan easy task. Each test mode may have additional (or workload-specific) options.

4. Installation

       If you are building SysBench from a Bazaar repository rather than from a release tarball,        you should run ./autogen.sh before building.      

The following standart procedure will be sufficient to build SysBench in most cases:

./configuremakemake install

The above procedure will try to compile SysBench with MySQL support by default. If you have MySQL headers and librariesin non-standard locations (and no mysql_config can be found in the PATHenvironmental variable), then you can specify them explicitly with --with-mysql-includes and--with-mysql-libs options to ./configure.      

To compile SysBench without MySQL support, use --without-mysql. In this case all database-relatedtest modes will be unavailable.      

If you are running on a 64-bit platform, make sure to build a 64-bit binary by passing the proper target platform and compiler options to configure script. You can also consult the INSTALL file for generic installation instructions.      

Chapter 3. Usage

1. General syntax

The general syntax for SysBench is as follows:

sysbench [common-options] --test=name[test-options]command

See Section 2, “General command line options” for a description of common options and documentation for particular test mode for a listof test-specific options.      

Below is a brief description of available commands and their purpose:

prepare

Performs preparative actions for those tests which need them, e.g. creating the necessary       files on disk for the fileio test, or filling the test database for the       oltp test.    

run

Runs the actual test specified with the --test=name option.    

cleanup

Removes temporary data after the test run in those tests which create one.    

help

Displays usage information for a test specified with the       --test=name option.    

Also you can use sysbench help to display the brief usage summary and the list of available test modes.      

2. General command line options

The table below lists the supported common options, their descriptions and default values:      

Option	Description	Default value
--num-threads	The total number of worker threads to create	1
--max-requests	Limit for total number of requests. 0 means unlimited	10000
--max-time	Limit for total execution time in seconds. 0 (default) means unlimited	0
--forced-shutdown	Amount of time to wait after --max-time before forcing shutdown. The value can be either an absolute number of seconds or               as a percentage of the --max-time value by specifying a number of percents followed by the '%' sign.                             "off" (the default value) means that no forced shutdown will be performed.	off
--thread-stack-size	Size of stack for each thread	32K
--init-rng	Specifies if random numbers generator should be initialized from timer before the test start	off
--report-interval	Periodically report intermediate statistics with a specified interval in seconds. Note that statistics produced by this option is per-interval rather than cumulative. 0 disables intermediate reports	0
--test	Name of the test mode to run	Required
--debug	Print more debug info	off
--validate	Performvalidation of test results where possible	off
--help	Print help on general syntax or on a test mode specified with --test, and exit	off
--verbosity	Verbosity level (0 - only critical messages, 5 - debug)	4
--percentile	SysBench measures execution times for all processed  requests to display statistical information like minimal, average and  maximum execution time. For most benchmarks it is also useful to know  a request execution time value matching some percentile (e.g. 95%  percentile means we should drop 5% of the most long requests and  choose the maximal value from the remaining ones).  This option allows to specify a percentile rank of query  execution times to count	95
--validate	Perform validation of test results where possible	off

Note that numerical values for all size options(like --thread-stack-size in this table) may bespecified by appending the corresponding multiplicative suffix (K forkilobytes, M for megabytes, G for gigabytes and T for terabytes).      

3. Test modes

     This section gives a detailed description for each test mode available      in SysBench.      

3.1. cpu

The cpu is one of the most simple benchmarks inSysBench. In this mode each request consists in calculation of prime numbers up to a valuespecified by the --cpu-max-primes option. All calculations are performed using 64-bit integers.      

Each thread executes the requests concurrently until either the total number of requests or the total executiontime exceed the limits specified with the common command line options.      

Example:

sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 run

3.2. threads

This test mode was written to benchmark scheduler performance, more specifically the caseswhen a scheduler has a large number of threads competing for some set of mutexes.      

SysBench creates a specified number of threads and a specified number of mutexes. Then each threadstarts running the requests consisting of locking the mutex, yielding the CPU, so the thread isplaced in the run queue by the scheduler, then unlocking the mutex when the thread is rescheduled backto execution. For each request, the above actions are run several times in a loop, so the more iterationsis performed, the more concurrency is placed on each mutex.      

The following options are available in this test mode:

Option	Description	Default value
--thread-yields	Number of lock/yield/unlock loops to execute per each request	1000
--thread-locks	Number of mutexes to create	8

Example:

sysbench --num-threads=64 --test=threads --thread-yields=100 --thread-locks=2 run

3.3. mutex

This test mode was written to emulate a situation when all threads run concurrently most of the time, acquiring the mutex lock only for a short period of time (incrementing a global variable). So the purposeof this benchmarks is to examine the performance of mutex implementation.      

The following options are available in this test mode:

Option	Description	Default value
--mutex-num	Number of mutexes. The actual mutex to lock is chosen randomly before each lock	4096
--mutex-locks	Number of mutex locks to acquire per each request	50000
--mutex-loops	Number of iterations for an empty loop to perform before acquiring the lock	10000

3.4. memory

 This test mode can be used to benchmark sequential memory reads or writes. Depending on command line  options each thread can access either a global or a local block for all memory operations.

 The following options are available in this test mode:  

Option	Description	Default value
--memory-block-size	Size of memory block to use	1K
--memory-scope	Possible values: global, local. Specifies whether each thread will    use a globally allocated memory block, or a local one.	global
--memory-total-size	Total size of data to transfer	100G
--memory-oper	Type of memory operations. Possible values: read, write.	100G

3.5. fileio

 This test mode can be used to produce various kinds of file I/O workloads. At the prepare  stage SysBench creates a specified number of files with a specified total size, then at the run  stage, each thread performs specified I/O operations on this set of files.

 When the global --validate option is used with the fileio test mode, SysBench  performs checksums validation on all data read from the disk. On each write operation the block is filled with random values,  then the checksum is calculated  and stored in the block along with the offset of this block within a file. On each read operation the block is validated  by comparing the stored offset with the real offset, and the stored checksum with the real calculated checksum.

 The following I/O operations are supported:  

seqwr

sequential write      

seqrewr

sequential rewrite      

seqrd

sequential read      

rndrd

random read      

rndwr

random write      

rndrw

combined random read/write      

 Also, the following file access modes can be specified, if the underlying platform supports them:  

Asynchronous I/O mode

At the moment only Linux AIO implementation is supported. When running in asynchronous mode,SysBench queues a specified number of I/O requests using Linux AIO API, then waits for at least one of submitted requests to complete. After that a new series of I/O requestsis submitted.      

Slow mmap() mode

In this mode SysBench will use mmap'ed I/O. However, a separate mmap will be used for each I/O request due to the limitation of 32-bitarchitectures (we cannot mmap() the whole file, as its size migth possiblyexceed the maximum of 2 GB of the process address space).      

Fast mmap() mode

On 64-bit architectures it is possible to mmap() the whole fileinto the process address space, avoiding the limitation of 2 GB on 32-bit platforms.      

Using fdatasync() instead of fsync()

Additional flags to open(2)

SysBench can use additional flags to open(2), such as O_SYNC,                 O_DSYNC and O_DIRECT.      

 Below is a list of test-specific option for the fileio mode:  

Option	Description	Default value
--file-num	Number of files to create	128
--file-block-size	Block size to use in all I/O operations	16K
--file-total-size	Total size of files	2G
--file-test-mode	Type of workload to produce. Possible values: seqwr, seqrewr,    seqrd, rndrd, rndwr, rndwr (see above)	required
--file-io-mode	I/O mode. Possible values: sync, async, fastmmap,     slowmmap (only if supported by the platform, see above).	sync
--file-async-backlog	Number of asynchronous operations to queue per thread (only for --file-io-mode=async, see above)	128
--file-extra-flags	Additional flags to use with open(2)
--file-fsync-freq	Do fsync() after this number of requests (0 - don't use fsync())	100
--file-fsync-all	Do fsync() after each write operation	no
--file-fsync-end	Do fsync() at the end of the test	yes
--file-fsync-mode	Which method to use for synchronization. Possible values: fsync, fdatasync (see above)	fsync
--file-merged-requests	Merge at most this number of I/O requests if possible (0 - don't merge)	0
--file-rw-ratio	reads/writes ration for combined random read/write test	1.5

 Usage example:  

$ sysbench --num-threads=16 --test=fileio --file-total-size=3G --file-test-mode=rndrw prepare $ sysbench --num-threads=16 --test=fileio --file-total-size=3G --file-test-mode=rndrw run $ sysbench --num-threads=16 --test=fileio --file-total-size=3G --file-test-mode=rndrw cleanup

 In the above example the first command creates 128 files with the total size of 3 GB in the current directory, the  second command runs the actual benchmark and displays the results upon completion, and the third one removes the files  used for the test.

3.6. oltp

This test mode was written to benchmark a real database performance. At the prepare stagethe following table is created in the specified database (sbtest by default):

CREATE TABLE `sbtest` ( `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `k` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `c` char(120) NOT NULL default '', `pad` char(60) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `k` (`k`);

Then this table is filled with a specified number of rows.      

The following execution modes are available at the run stage:

Simple

In this mode each thread runs simple queries of the following form:

SELECT c FROM sbtest WHERE id=N

where N takes a random value in range 1..

Advanced transactional

Each thread performs transactions on the test table. If the test table and database support transactions(e.g. InnoDB engine in MySQL), then BEGIN/COMMIT statements will be usedto start/stop a transaction. Otherwise, SysBench will use LOCK TABLES/UNLOCK TABLES statements (e.g. for MyISAM engine in MySQL). If some rows are deleted in a transaction,the same rows will be inserted within the same transaction, so this test mode does not destruct any datain the test table and can be run multiple times on the same table.      

     Depending on the command line options, each transaction may contain the following statements:      

• Point queries:

SELECT c FROM sbtest WHERE id=N

 Range queries:

SELECT c FROM sbtest WHERE id BETWEEN N AND M

 Range SUM() queries:

SELECT SUM(K) FROM sbtest WHERE id BETWEEN N and M

Range ORDER BY queries:

SELECT c FROM sbtest WHERE id between N and M ORDER BY c

Range DISTINCT queries:

SELECT DISTINCT c FROM sbtest WHERE id BETWEEN N and M ORDER BY c

UPDATEs on index column:

UPDATE sbtest SET k=k+1 WHERE id=N

UPDATEs on non-index column:

UPDATE sbtest SET c=N WHERE id=M

DELETE queries:

DELETE FROM sbtest WHERE id=N

INSERT queries:

INSERT INTO sbtest VALUES (...)

Non-transactional

This mode is similar to Simple, but you can also choose the query to run. Note that unlike the Advanced transactional mode, this one does not preserve the test table between requests, soyou should recreate it with the appropriate cleanup/prepare commands betweenconsecutive benchmarks.      

Below is a list of possible queries:

•    Point queries:    

  SELECT pad FROM sbtest WHERE id=N

  
  

•    UPDATEs on index column:    

  UPDATE sbtest SET k=k+1 WHERE id=N

  
  

•    UPDATEs on non-index column:    

  UPDATE sbtest SET c=N WHERE id=M

  
  

•    DELETE queries:    

  DELETE FROM sbtest WHERE id=N

      The generated row IDs are unique over each test run, so no row is deleted twice.  

  
  

•    INSERT queries:    

  INSERT INTO sbtest (k, c, pad) VALUES(N, M, S)

  
  

Below is a list of options available for the database test mode:

Option	Description	Default value
--oltp-test-mode	Execution mode (see above). Possible values: simpe (simple), complex (advanced transactional) and nontrx (non-transactional)	complex
--oltp-read-only	Read-only mode. No UPDATE, DELETE or INSERT queries will be performed.	off
--oltp-skip-trx	Omit BEGIN/COMMIT statements, i.e. run the same queries as the test would normally run but without using transactions.	off
--oltp-reconnect-mode	Reconnect mode. Possible values:                   session Don't reconnect (i.e. each thread disconnects only at the end of the test) query Reconnect after each SQL query transaction Reconnect after each transaction (if transactions are used in the selected DB test) random One of the above modes is randomly chosen for each transaction	session
--oltp-range-size	Range size for range queries	100
--oltp-point-selects	Number of point select queries in a single transaction	10
--oltp-simple-ranges	Number of simple range queries in a single transaction	1
--oltp-sum-ranges	Number of SUM range queries in a single transaction	1
--oltp-order-ranges	Number of ORDER range queries in a single transaction	1
--oltp-distinct-ranges	Number of DISTINCT range queries in a single transaction	1
--oltp-index-updates	Number of index UPDATE queries in a single transaction	1
--oltp-non-index-updates	Number of non-index UPDATE queries in a single transaction	1
--oltp-nontrx-mode	Type of queries for non-transactional execution mode (see above). Possible values: select,  update_key, update_nokey, insert, delete.	select
--oltp-connect-delay	Time in microseconds to sleep after each connection to database	10000
--oltp-user-delay-min	Minimum time in microseconds to sleep after each request	0
--oltp-user-delay-max	Maximum time in microseconds to sleep after each request	0
--oltp-table-name	Name of the test table	sbtest
--oltp-table-size	Number of rows in the test table	10000
--oltp-dist-type	Distribution of random numbers. Possible values: uniform (uniform distribution),    gauss (gaussian distribution) and special.      With special distribution a specified percent of numbers is generated in a specified percent of cases (see options below).	special
--oltp-dist-pct	Percentage of values to be treated as 'special' (for special distribution)	1
--oltp-dist-res	Percentage of cases when 'special' values are generated (for special distribution)	75
--db-ps-mode	If the database driver supports Prepared Statements API, SysBench will use server-side prepared statements for all queries  where possible. Otherwise, client-side (or emulated) prepared statements will be used. This option allows to force using  emulation even when PS API is available. Possible values: disable, auto.	auto

Also, each database driver may provide its own options. Currently only MySQL driver is available. Below is a list of MySQL-specific options:

Option	Description	Default value
--mysql-host	MySQL server host.                                                Starting from version 0.4.5 you may specify a list of hosts separated by commas. In this case SysBench will distribute connections between specified MySQL hosts on a round-robin basis. Note that all connection ports and passwords must be the same on all hosts. Also, databases and tables must be prepared explicitely on each host before executing the benchmark.	localhost
--mysql-port	MySQL server port (in case TCP/IP connection should be used)	3306
--mysql-socket	Unix socket file to communicate with the MySQL server
--mysql-user	MySQL user	user
--mysql-password	MySQL password
--mysql-db	MySQL database name. Note SysBench will not automatically create this database. You should create it manually and grant  the appropriate privileges to a user which will be used to access the test table.	sbtest
--mysql-table-engine	Type of the test table. Possible values: myisam, innodb, heap,  ndbcluster, bdb, maria, falcon, pbxt	innodb
--mysql-ssl	Use SSL connections.	no
--myisam-max-rows	MAX_ROWS option for MyISAM tables (required for big tables)	1000000
--mysql-create-options	Additional options passed to CREATE TABLE.

Example usage:

$ sysbench --test=oltp --mysql-table-engine=myisam --oltp-table-size=1000000 --mysql-socket=/tmp/mysql.sock prepare $ sysbench --num-threads=16 --max-requests=100000 --test=oltp --oltp-table-size=1000000 --mysql-socket=/tmp/mysql.sock --oltp-read-only=on run

The first command will create a MyISAM table 'sbtest' in a database 'sbtest' on a MySQL server using /tmp/mysql.sock socket, then fill this table with 1M records. The second command will run the actual benchmark with 16 client threads, limiting the total number of request by 100,000.
