+### Purpose of this toolkit
+
+This directory contains configuration files and small scripts to generate an environment with simulated data for testing purposes.
+
+### Generation of XML files to simulate agent load
+
+There is a tool that comes configured with Pandora FMS to generate test data (pandora_xml_stress) and that generates XML. It has different options and in this directory is provided a configuration file and all the dictionaries and additional files to generate data of 300 agents, with pseudo-random names (like for example "7fb8a1a734c24cc22a5c75eb").
+
+These agents are defined in the "pandora_xml_stress.agents" file. If you want less agents, you can delete elements in this file.
+
+To execute the XML generation manually from the code repository:
+
+ cd pandorafms/pandora_server/util/load
+ perl ../pandora_xml_stress.pl pandora_xml_stress.conf 
+
+This will generate 300 XML in the /var/spool/pandora/data_in directory.
+
+If you create a scheduled execution of this command every 5 minutes (e.g. through cron), keep in mind that if the PandoraFMS server stops, it could have hundreds of thousands of XML files pending to be processed.
+
+Create /etc/cron.d/pandora_stress with this content:
+
+  */5 * * * * root <putyourscripthere>
+
+
+### Generation of groups and users
+
+The script 'create_usersandgroups.sh' will take a list of names from the file 'usernames.txt' and through CLI will create those users in the local Pandora FMS.
+
+On the other hand, it will also create a series of groups, taking as source the names of the file 'groupnames.txt'. It will associate to each user a group of the existing ones with the profile "Operator (Read").
+
+Finally, it will take all the agents available in Pandora FMS and it will distribute them in an equal and random way among the available groups.
+
+You should only run it once:
+
+  cd pandorafms/pandora_server/util/load
+  ./create_userandgroups.sh
