Pandora FMS DB Stress
=====================

This is a small tool to test your database performance. It also could be used
to "pregenerate" random or periodic data (using trigonometric functions) and
populate ficticious modules.

You must create an agent and assign modules for automated data injection
with this tool. You must to name that modules according to this notation:

* random - to generate "random" data.
* curve - to generate a math curve using trigonometric functions, useful to 
          see interpolation working with different intervals, etc.
* boolean - to generate "random" boolean data.

So you can use any name containing the words "random", "curve" or "boolean",
for example:

"random_1" or "curve_other"

You can only select the "data server" module type.

Finetuning DB stress tool
=========================

Tool is preconfigured to search in all agents for modules called random, curve 
or boolean, and to use a interval of 300 and during 30 days.

If you want to modify this behaviour you should edit pandora_dbstress script 
and modify some variables at the top of file:

 # Configure here target (AGENT_ID for Stress)
 my $target_module = -1; # -1 for all modules of that agent
 my $target_agent = -1;
 my $target_interval = 300;
 my $target_days = 30;

Set there target_module (for a fixed module) or set -1 to process all matching 
targets.
Set there target_agent (for a specific agent).   
Set target_interval in seconds for default module interval data periodicity. 
Set target_days, number of days in the past from current timestamp.
