Aggregate results of multiple clients FIO

[peter71]

Hi,
I have managed to customise the FIO the way I wanted with configurable number of threads and it works brilliantly.
I wonder if there is a way of being able to see aggregated results (Bandwidth and IOPS) from concurrent run of e.g 10 or more clients.
Any hints much appreciated

You can use a Phoromatic server otherwise transfer all the results to one system and then run phoronix-test-suite merge-results <result 1> <result 2> <result 3> etc

Hi Michael,
Thanks for instant reply.

I am using phoromatic server, just not sure how can I see the aggregated results...
For example, I would kick off FIO test on 2 clients, I would like to be able to see the IOPS and bandwith generated by those 2 clients on the shared storage when the test are finished.

ok, I can see merge-results option but how do I list the results? and when I list them I will be able to join them, but how I will be able to view joined results? will it be present in the results section in gui?

phoronix-test-suite list-results gives me 0 Saved Results

Right, I think it's because my results are in different location,

 /etc/phoronix-test-suite.xml

by default is set to

 .phoronix-test-suite/test-results

I will try to change this and update, it might be useful for others

after editing the above and changing

ResultsDirectory

/var/lib/phoronix-test-suite/phoromatic/accounts/XXXXXX/results/

it works
