== DESCRIPTION:

Autograph drives httperf, varying the request rate and graphing the output. This exercise provides graphical data showing how the requested resources hold up under an increasing rate, particularly with request to response time and achieved request rate.

== NOTES:

Start off with broad ranges and zero in on rate/call/connection limits Run from a server, not your laptop, you don't want to be limited by your internet connection.

== PROBLEMS:

• No 'AcceptEncoding' support
• Limited to the load generation capabilities of a single server.

== SYNOPSIS:

autograph --host example.com --low-rate 5 --high-rate 25 --rate-step 5 --num-conns 25

autograph --host example.com --low-rate 10 --high-rate 50 --rate-step 10 --output-file my_load_test.html
